I feel like if you're using a lot of disposable plastic bags in your day to day life, you've gotta do something sustainable to make up for it. Like using bamboo toilet paper or eco friendly cat litter or something, yknow

Honestly I exaggerate for comedic effect, while I DO routinely use ziplock bags to hold spaghetti I cook maybe once a month and the bag itself is usually for freezer storage. I actually throw out maybe one bag a week? I DO hate washing plates and tupperware and junk but that usually just means I eat sandwiches without a plate.

I agree though that needless waste should be avoided, and I do avoid it- biodegradable bags and recyclables, empty butter tubs used to store leftovers, etc.

This said, though, not applicable necessarily for myself but for a lot of others- I feel that it's importat to remember that there are many people who legitimately NEED things like plastic straws, or catheters, or pre-packaged foods

And the idea that that's a moral failing that individuals need to personally make up for when a single billionaire blows out more CO2 in a long weekend than I will in my whole life on a superjet meet-cute in the Bolivian rainforest between humvee drag races funded by the river-polluting textiles plants they planted in a third world country to avoid EPA laws and give an entire village stillbirths and stomach cancer is an idea that those very same bigwigs have spent a LOT of time and money investing in planting in the public psyche.

Like- Glass bottles are infinitely recyclable, so why are so many drinks in plastic now? Loads of drinks manufacturers used to buy them back and clean them for re-use, so why did they stop? If they chose to make something out of a limited and environmentally irresponsible material, why is it my failing to track down a correct process of disposal for them? What if there are none in my area? Do I lobby for more recycling plants in my area? Do I set aside some of my limited time outside the pain factory of my job- which I have more than one of, thanks to rising costs of things just like that drink I just emptied- to properly dispose of this company's waste FOR them?

Say coca-cola just rolled up to your town and started dumping millions of empty plastic bottles in the street, going, "wow, you should really think about building and staffing a recycling depot, it would be really shameful of you to just put these in the trash." When companies purposefully use materials with limited lifespans- because yes, even plastic can only be reused so many times- and tell you it's your own fault if it harms the environment- that's essentially what they're doing, just with more steps.

Yes, its important to be as environmentally concious as we can in our day to day life, but responsible sustainability is not catholicism. We don't get good boy points from our lord and savior Captain Planet every time the average low-income household gathers together to hold hands and repent for a single-use plastic that allows them to access something they need.

Entire families could eat trees and shit dead lithium batteries for years and still not do as much damage to the planet as an average dye plant or braindead celebrity does in a week just for fun, and I'm mad about it

...this went on longer than intended.

TL/DR: DO recycle and minimize waste, but don't beat yourself up over the little waste you can't avoid, and follow the money.

as much as i love sam knowing about destiel before dean does, there's something about "i mean yeah my brother and his angel best friend are really weird about each other, live together, co-parent a kid, nearly kill themselves every time the other is gone, stand too close and stare at the other's mouth while they talk, but i mean to each their own i guess??" that's so special to me

Social anxiety level: Chatting with someone experiencing a schizophrenic episode and becoming increasingly self-concious of how I'm just saying "That sounds really stressful", "I've never heard of that but it sounds scary", and "You must be pretty worried about that" over and over again

I'm in France but idgaf

People protesting for Palestinians by not voting are contributing to the Genocide of Palestinians

This has been said time and time again that not voting is a vote for Trump and yet people seem to care more about moral purity than actual chosing the one candidate between the two that proposed a fucking CEASEFIRE.

Yes she's fucking awful regarding Palestinian issues, she's a zionist, she's being a fucking centrist about it but you know what she isn't doing ?? Telling Israel to "get it over with"

You don't get to fucking chose your options in a life or death situation, you FUCKING PICK THE BEST OPTION FOR YOUR SURVIVAL.

THIS IS NOT THE CORRECT POLITICAL CLIMATE TO BE PULLING THIS SHIT

The fact people have the fucking priviledge to smugly declare themselves morally better for not voting someone who is pro-genocide while they let someone who is a MILLION TIMES WORSE take over and not only ruin the lives of palestinians even more and also countless other minorities.

The worse fact is how these people also throw countless minorities under the bus for the sake of their activism.

Countless of queer people, POC and women who literally have to vote to not fucking lose their rights and you somehow have the gall to turn your nose away from people who are TERRIFIED of being fucking hate crimed and losing their rights.

I'm not gonna pull any of this "i know harris is awful but you still have to vote !" wishy washy bullshit

If you don't vote Harris out of activism you are a priviledged smarmy piece of shit that is putting the lives of minorities in danger for the sake of your moral purity.

The French Left didn't fucking win by turning up their nose and refusing to vote for the centrist party. We got SHIT DONE and that literally GOT THE LEFT THE WIN.

The reason I give a shit despite being in France is that puttin Trump in charge will literally poison the well for everybody. You are literally pushing everybody down to the abyss if you don't fucking vote

Bully the SHIT out of Harris's ass when she's president, right now is NOT the fuckinv time
