If you dare come at me about banning straws, I will throw you into the sun cannon. Iām disabled, Iām crippled, I need disposable plastic straws, and all those pricey ridiculous alternatives arenāt working as well. Plastic straws were invented for the disabled.
Way to shit all over a vital access need because you think straws are worse than corporate greed.
We all care about the turtles, the seals, the oceans, obviously. Notice how the easiest thing to yell about was something that would barely affect anything but appealed heavily to emotional discourse.
The disabled community is huge, and it can be joined by anyone. Most of those As Seen On TV products were invented for us. Society still mocks us and ignores us, and often outright harms us in multiple ways.
Communicate better. Listen better. But stop putting us out in the cold because you are inconvenienced by our simplest needs.
Straws arenāt killing the planet, its animals, or people. Theyāre a microscopic fraction of an iota of a percentage of the problem. You want to do something? Ban plastic fishing nets. Anything else is just a hollow feel-good gesture at the expense of real living disabled people.

i have an environmental degree and iāve been saying this since this straw ādebateā started: its all a tactic by those in power to distract peopleās attention from bigger issues such as fishing waste. donāt fall for it. and donāt be a dick to disabled people who need straws to make their lives easier.
Trying

Leaving this for myself if not others because someday I want to be able to grow my own food

THANK YOU
Iāve asked parents about this and they always say they are teaching the child responsibility and ārespect for other peopleās things.ā If I point out that the child accidentally broke their own toy they always sayĀ āI bought them that toyā orĀ āmy sister gave that to them.ā
The problem is that parents view all possessions as not really belonging to the child. A part of them always seems to think that the adult who provided the money is the real owner
If a parent breaks a dish they see it as breaking something that already belonged to them, but if a child breaks it they see it as the child breaking something that belonged to the parents
People raising children need to realize that household possessions belong to the entire household. If everyone has to use that plate then it belongs to everyone and anyone can have a forgivable accident with it. Itās okay to deem certain possessions as just yours and ask everyone in the house to respect that, but extend the same respect to your childās belongings
Big mood. I know most of these are talking about little little kids, but hereās a tale from middle school. I had forgotten to charge my phone one night, and this was back when cell phones used to beep loudly when they were low on battery. I kept hearing the noise throughout the afternoon and not recognizing what it was because Iād never heard it before. When I finally did realize what it was, I was in science class and my fellow classmates were making presentations. I reached into my bag to try to turn off the phone, and then the low-battery sound went off, loud enough for the teacher to hear it. She confiscated my phone in front of everyone, and I didnāt get it back until after the weekend because it was a Friday. I was really embarrassed, especially to tell my parents.
When I got my phone back that Monday, my teacher said it was important for me to learn this lesson now since in college they wouldnāt tolerate phones going off. Fast forward to when I was in college, any time someoneās phone went off, either the professor would tell them to turn it off, or they would say, āOh, my bad,ā and turn it off themselves, and everyone would move on. I even had a professor who danced around while someoneās phone went off, and it was a welcome moment of levity during the lecture.
I say all this to say, one of the worst aspects of being a child/teen was adults assuming my intentions were malicious.
God Iāve been reading these posts for a while and each time I am struck with the realization that certainly not all parents were supposed to be a parent
āI say all this to say, one of the worst aspects of being a child/teen was adults assuming my intentions were malicious.ā YES this
The problem is, even if families are forgiving the culture around children still effects the child. I use myself as proof of that.
A few times between the ages of 4 and 18 I broke things. I broke my grandmaās favorite Christmas ornament. Her first question was: āAre you hurt?ā and when I apologized profusely she said āIām just glad you werenāt hurt.ā
I broke a few plates. I broke a couple glasses. Every time my dadās first response was āDid you get cut?ā the second step was cleaning up the broken bits, and the third was a discussion of what led to me breaking it and how I could avoid doing that in the future.
Same with spills. Same with stains. My biggest āpunishmentā from my immediate family was being taught how to clean up the mess I made and being shown in detail how to avoid the same mistake in the future if it was avoidable. There were consequences for my actions, but they were the direct result of those actions and nothing much beyond that.
My family tried so hard to teach me how to deal with accidents in a healthy way. They were patient. They treated every slip-up as a learning opportunity. They showed me a lot of love. The other adults still got to me. Teachers still punished and publicly shamed me and other students for our mess-ups. Extended family members outside of my small supportive circle still yelled at me. My friendsā parents still got mad.
To the point where whenever I messed up my first instinct was that my dad or grandparents were going to punish me, or yell at me, or hit me, even though they never did. They just didnāt. They always responded with patience and an attitude of āIām glad youāre safe and I want to help you learn from this.ā And I was still afraid of messing up. Mortified. Expecting the worst every time.
Itās like⦠we need to change the culture around this, man. Completely.
Ha ha seriously tho.
I needed to hear this right now. <3
My new favorite post.
As someone who finished her undergrad at 40, I feel this later update. Take your time. Progress made at any speed is progress.
Right on the money
