if it makes you feel any better, i only saw good intention in that comic. the only thing regarding donating a ratty sweater that went through my head, as a thrift shop employee, was that we'd wind up baling it (compacting it into a big Clothes Cube for transport) to send it to be recycled rather than putting it on the sales floor. Donating torn or slightly stained clothes isn't necessarily bad - Value Village recycles everything they possibly can, for example.

Thank you for the info! :]

As soon as I read “Clothes Cube” I new tab + googled image searched.

How sick is this?? It’s like bales of hay, but with clothes instead of hay. I had no idea this was a thing.
