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.
