Just saw somebody refer to highly disposable collectibles (labubus, funko pops, stuff like that) as "landfillcore" and I'm stealing that.

#Beanie babies were at least nice toys (via @tallgreenlady)

okay this has actually led me down the rabbit hole of the beanie baby environmental impact, and apparently the big problem is that they used to be stuffed with PVC pellets. the science in all that is REALLY over my head, but from what i can tell from wikipedia and some googling around, that's actually a suuuper nasty plastic to have your little kid potentially gnawing on. like, "may release noxious chemicals and give them lifelong respiration problems" nasty.

granted, the worst case scenario there is mostly from burning them, but you'll never guess what people commonly did after they became landfillcore.

The problem really isn't even the product itself, it's that we treat ravenously buying things like it's just a hobby, when in truth, it's also falling for propaganda and a failure to reduce consumption.

These companies are convincing people to buy as much useless, plastic crap as possible, crap that can't be reused (because it isn't useful in the first place) and won't be recycled (not that recycling them would even do much).

There's nothing wrong with buying things you enjoy; the problem is that the person with a room full of 3000 unopened Funko Pops isn't enjoying the figurines, they're enjoying buying and owning. It's buying things for the sake of buying things, literally the opposite of reducing.

[geek-ramblings]

I like funkos from a like "I love this character. I want them on my office desk" standpoint. but also I love checking on etsy and stuff and trying to find hand knitted versions when I can. Highly recommend!

So while I love these:

These are AMAZING!

Our president raped a kid and that's just like a little fun fact that doesn't faze anyone

[thundergrace]

Our president finally just had to transfer $5.7M to a woman this week after he was found liable for raping her in civil court a few years ago, and it's not even a major headline.
