People have no idea what I do to try and help the planet. They have no clue the lengths I go to to live in an environmentally friendly house and to minimize my impact on the earth.
I even wrote a god damn article about environmental activism vs performative activism in the Zero Waste movement, and gave examples on how to live a more eco-friendly life.
It’s ugh, it’s whatever. People are going to complain no matter what. At least I’ll be hydrated while they do it.
Are y’all five and can’t drink from a glass without a straw?
I have profound nerve damage in my face and throat that prevents proper muscle function. I also have cfs and other muscle problems. I recently discovered that using straws helps to alleviate some of the pain and difficulty out of being able to drink fluids, because it puts less strain on certain muscles. This means that for the first time in over two years, I have been able to finish a glass of water without choking. So no, not five. Just very fortunate to be alive.
Have a good day, and I hope life is kind to you.
Truly unfortunate. Get a washable reusable metal straw.
As I have explained many, many, many times in the last 48 hours, this is not a feasible option for me, or many disabled people like me.
If you would like to know more, here is an informative video with captions to explain it:
nobody likes the “bad boys” who insult and degrade their partners while wearing pastel polos with popped collars, people like REAL bad boys who wear leather jackets and take a lot of care in how they shape their pompadour and carry around stiletto switchblades and care about their communities and ride a motorcycle and rebel against the government and says stuff like “NOBODY insults my gal” and gets in fistfights with dudes who catcall their girlfriends. THOSE bad boys are the guys everyone wants.
We want the boys society says are bad, not actually bad boys
Classic bad boys went against the mainstream masculine society of their time. They embraced attributes that were considered girly: longer hair, use of hair products, appreciation in their appearance, enjoyment of art and music. They rebelled against the notion that as soon as you left high school you needed to work a respectable job, get married, and have 2.5 children. They were bad because they didn’t follow what society said a man should be, and that’s why it was attractive
when your otp has an honest talk only in dire situations, like when they’re running full tilt being carried by the wind shouting at the top of their lungs
(the movie made this flying thing so romantic, but the book version is basically ‘howl and sophie scream into the wind as it slams them back to the castle’)
