Our mixed-breed Cheagle has a pretty good jumping range. This time it was on to the newest basket of clean clothes awaiting folding… before the turn of this century. The original photo was rather dark, odd for an iPhone 12 photo. Fixed it up in Afterlight and made important tweaks in Snapseed. Yowza!
SOLE! You're lying on my clean clothes! Don't look at me like that you little pest. Until now this cupboard was the one place, in the whole house, free of cat hair!

I love photos of clothes on lines. There is something so interesting about them.
Collection: Indonesia - The Simple Life
"Indonesia - The Simple Life" is a photography collection with mainly impressions from the more or less island Flores and its always warm hearted friendly people and the small mountain village Paci. With our income me and my wife we support children of Paci for going to school and else. You can't visit this village if you don't have family there, because for a long distance there's no hotel and no accomodation for tourists. The next city, Ruteng, is about a car drive of 3 hours away, so far the road is ok and no landslide. The photography collections starts with arrival from airport "Komodo" in Labuanbajo, Flores 2016. Labuanbajo is the destination from where you make boat trips to the Komodo dragon islands. When i first visited Flores in the year 2002 LBJ was only a backpacker travel destination with amazing diving spots. At this time the small moutain village Paci (around 6 to 7 hours car drive) had no electricity or any other comforts which are the basic of our western life.
when i was little, each time my family and i returned home from a vacation, i would take my luggage and dump everything out on to the floor. clean and dirty clothes including shoes were all out in the mix; my way of unpacking. needless to say, my mom wasn't very fond of my ritual.
i kinda calmed down with my unpacking method through the years. but once in awhile, it breaks loose again.
I love a little retail therapy. It feels lovely to refresh my wardrobe come spring and summer.
But lately, I haven't been browsing the shops in the same way.
They say ignorance is bliss. A few years ago, I wasn't aware of the all too common harsh exploitation of people who make the clothes we buy. I would buy clothes without worrying about the rights of the people who made them - not because I didn't care. But because I didn't know. Now, every time I pick up an item of clothing in a shop, I check the label to see if there is any mention of fairtrade, of proper wages and fair working conditions. When I don't know the origins of a garment, my conscience usually won't let me buy it.
We have a friend who lives in Cambodia. A while ago, she witnessed protests against the unfair dismissal of hundreds of garment workers who had participated in a strike to demand decent living wages. The garment factories they worked for supply clothes to UK high street brands such as Zara and H&M.
Perhaps ignorance is bliss. But knowledge is power. At Chapter One, we firmly believe that unfair situations such as these can be turned around by ordinary people who care. You can send a letter to H&M, GAP and Zara, petitioning them to use their considerable influence to reinstate those workers illegally dismissed from their jobs, and to encourage negotians regarding fair wages for garment workers.
Scene 10 of our re-creation: 2 years later.
'Eleven of the brands and retailers sourcing from the factories involved in the Tazreen and Rana Plaza disasters joined high-level compensation meetings, facilitated by the ILO as a neutral chair, on 11-12 September in Geneva. Many other major companies failed to attend, showing total contempt for the 1,900 workers who were injured and the families of over 1,200 workers who were killed making their products' ... Immediately after the meeting Primark committed to providing a further three months salary to all affected families as emergency relief. Unfortunately, none of the other brands or retailers present at the meeting committed to provide such emergency relief' (Source: www.cleanclothes.org/news/press-releases/2013/09/12/bangl...).
'"It is difficult to understand why some brands are using any excuse to try to avoid responsibility. The workers are waiting for money and medical assistance," Monika Kemperle, assistant general secretary of IndustriALL, told Reuters. The Primark discount chain owned by Associated British Foods ..., present at the meeting, also expressed frustration. "The company remains concerned about the length of time it is taking to agree a framework for long-term compensation. As a result the company will now pay a second tranche of emergency aid, lasting three months," Primark said in a statement. It added it had created the first comprehensive database of most of those in Rana Plaza at the time of the disaster, registering details of 3,333 workers as part of its aid plan' (Source: www.reuters.com/article/2013/09/12/us-bangladesh-retailer...).

LEGOing by Ian Cook.
I came home from work one day and I just had to laugh. My husband had been cleaning out the attic and washed some old Halloween costumes.
this is edgey (man, i'm too funny lately) for so many reasons. unlike most people, friday is the edge of my weekend, as i work saturday-tuesday. and on friday, i do laundry. friday laundry means it's almost time for me to go back to work. which i feel sort of ambivalent about- not bad, necessarily, and not good exactly, just on the edge- no more relaxing, time to get down to it.
and my laundry skills are, as you can see, sort of pathetic. i'm on the edge of cleanliness. i can't really sort the clothes (see above) and i can't really fold them. at least taking this picture inspired me to put them away, as opposed to normally, where i leave them in the hamper i have designated for clean laundry. pathetic.
This sign is located at 316 Shawnee in Leavenworth Kansas.
The current occupant of the building is Harbor Lights Coffee House. The manager of the store was able to give me some history of "The Unique." It was a laundry and cleaning service. See the advertisement below that she showed me.
Clean Clothes Campaign rozpoczęło ogólnoeuropejską kampanię „Godna Płaca dla Wszystkich”. Konsumenci i konsumentki w 15 krajach Europy, w tym w Polsce, domagają się od marek odzieżowych zapewnienia szyjącym ubrania pracownikom godnej płacy wystarczającej na utrzymanie.
W przemyśle odzieżowym w samej Azji zatrudnionych jest ponad 15 milionów ludzi. Większość z nich zarabia równowartość płacy minimalnej. Te wynagrodzenia zwykle nie wystarczają na godne życie. Szacunki Clean Clothes Campaign pokazują, że godna płaca wystarczająca na życie to w większości badanych krajów trzykrotność płacy minimalnej. Tymczasem, przemysł odzieżowy wciąż zwiększa swoje zyski. Z ceny, którą konsumenci płacą za sztukę odzieży tylko 1-2% trafia do pracowników a około 50% do marek odzieżowych. Dysproporcja ta pokazuje, że godne wynagradzanie pracowników nie jest niemożliwe.
W trakcie trwania kampanii polscy konsumenci i konsumentki mogą przyłączyć się do ogólnoeuropejskiej petycji na rzecz Godnej Płacy na stronie Clean Clothes Polska www.cleanclothes.pl/godna_placa. Do akcji przyłączyło się już ponad 1500 osób, w tym osoby ze świata filmu, muzyki i mediów, występując w klipie wspierającym kampanię „Godna Płaca dla Wszystkich”: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTHNfsYntmE
