One of the constant recurring topics on social media are stories of someone saying they don’t wash their legs, or they don’t use a washcloth, or they don’t take showers for a week. I wrote about why those stories always blow up. https://www.anildash.com/2025/05/29/who-is-clean/
@anildash Interesting. What would be your advice for a person who thinks themselves a white allie and also thinks cleanliness is overemphasised in our culture? Just shut up about it?
@ristkof I think if there’s something valuable to add, then the conversation is always welcome. It’s just been a long time since I’ve seen something new there.
