The best of Salem Saberhagen from “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” (1996-2003).
“Midnight Garden” full version (square version on twitter)
I made some personal animated work for the first time in ages! This is my real-life midnight garden, on a shelf in my bedroom. Featuring some of my manga and other books, my cat PJ, and some catnip and dill seedlings.
Enough with this!! I thought we were above this type of behaviour? How are we any better then the fascists if we resort to violence. Instead of punching a Nazi how about befriend and inspire a Nazi to change. We are all human at the end of the day
Fuck that mentality. Nazi’s and fascism do not deserve a platform. They do not deserve civility. Their views are built on dehumanizing others. Punch a Nazi in the face
Cant people like this see that they are now the ones dehumanizing others! Nazi or Fascist is just a label, these are people whose minds can be won over through methods other than violence. If you have to punch somebody to get your message across, what kind of message are you trying to teach?

Plastic Straws Aren’t the Problem
The anti-straw movement took off in 2015, after a video of a sea turtle with a straw stuck in its nose went viral. Campaigns soon followed, with activists often citing studies of the growing ocean plastics problem. Intense media interest in the so-called Great Pacific Garbage Patch – a floating, France-sized gyre of oceanic plastic – only heightened the concern.
However, plastic straws only account for about .03 percent of the 8 million metric tons of plastics estimated to enter the oceans in a given year.
A recent survey by scientists affiliated with Ocean Cleanup, a group developing technologies to reduce ocean plastic, offers one answer about where the bulk of ocean plastic is coming from. Using surface samples and aerial surveys, the group determined that at least 46 percent of the plastic in the garbage patch by weight comes from a single product: fishing nets. Other fishing gear makes up a good chunk of the rest.
The impact of this junk goes well beyond pollution. Ghost gear, as it’s sometimes called, goes on fishing long after it’s been abandoned, to the great detriment of marine habitats. In 2013, the Virginia Institute of Marine Science estimated that lost and abandoned crab pots take in 1.25 million blue crabs each year.
This is a complicated problem. But since the early 1990s, there’s been widespread agreement on at least one solution: a system to mark commercial fishing gear, so that the person or company that bought it can be held accountable when it’s abandoned. Combined with better onshore facilities to dispose of such gear – ideally by recycling – and penalties for dumping at sea, such a system could go a long way toward reducing marine waste. Countries belonging to the United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organization have even agreed on guidelines for the process.
That’s where all that anti-straw energy could really help. In 1990, after years of consumer pressure, the world’s three largest tuna companies agreed to stop intentionally netting dolphins. Soon after, they introduced a “dolphin safe” certification label and tuna-related dolphin deaths declined precipitously. A similar campaign to pressure global seafood companies to adopt gear-marking practices – and to help developing regions pay for them – could have an even more profound impact. Energized consumers and activists in rich countries could play a crucial role in such a movement.

Straws help many disabled people drink. Including me.
I feel like if anything straw bans do more harm than good, because it’s a ‘change’ that doesn’t require any real change at all. Most people who don’t need them barely ever use straws, so avoiding them costs them no effort. But it feels real good, like something big has been done.
Controversial opinion: although plastic straws may not produce as much waste as fishing nets, they are still a threat to marine life and banning them is definitely a move in the right direction as it raises awareness for the cause. The issue here isn't with a few individuals who barely uses straws but with the industry giants who mass produce and waste plastic staws every day. I think its wrong to shame one movement while pushing another, All positive change should be recognised and in regards to the ban affecting disabled people low-cost metal straws and other non-plastic alternatives are available
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm pretty sure deception and threats dont have anything to do with free speech? Also, who are you to determine the value of someone else speech.
