sketchbook voryns :]

love david and goliath being like one of the main bible stories for kids. like yeah you might be small but with god on your side you can kill someone with a rock

Oh so when golden boy David does it, he’s heroic and a man after God’s own heart, but when I, CAIN-

first it was girls' locker rooms vs boys' locker rooms then it was the feminine urge to vs the masculine urge to now it's girl dinner vs boy dinner when will it end when will we escape i feel like maybe some of you guys dont even want to escape doesnt anyone else want to escape

Oh Jeffrey? Jeff the killer? Oh yeah he's not a teenager anymore. He's 28. Yeah he's still into the killing part just not as much. He says it lost its spark. Yeah he still says go to sleep but he'd honestly rather go sleep himself. He's pretty chill. Past the killings. He's a beloved member of the community. Yeah he's on estrogen

Ahahah, guys I put my jeans on this morning that have holes in and one of the holes lines up perfectly with my tattoo 😭

Loooook

Clean the mold out of your reusable water bottle including the cap and straw

Mold poisoning will kill you and has a high chance of causing severe hallucinations and nightmares while it's doing it. My final message goodbye

Oh, hey, yea that's a good reminder! Wait a second tho

A year or so ago I saw someone who studies bacteria on food surfaces talking about how she never ever uses a water bottle for longer than 2 days without washing it with hot water and soap or running it through the dishwasher and I've become really adamant about it ever since. Everyone has enough water bottles to keep them cycling through the dishwasher and in use.

Also please don't die.

Yup to all of this, but also, if you read this and went “lol, I have too much ADHD for that - do you know how many water bottles I would actually need to buy?”

I need you to listen closely, right now

Yes, you might, in fact, need to buy a mountain of water bottles

“But the plastic-”

There comes times when disability, sustainability best practices, and your health cannot co-exist

And you cannot stop being disabled

You might need to not only buy a mountain of water bottles, but also keep prepackaged single use water bottles for emergencies when every surface of your house is covered in reusable water bottles that haven’t been cleaned, and you find yourself asking “what’s the harm in using this one for one more day?” for the seventh day in a row

Or going “well, I’m not that thirsty anyway” and stopping drinking water altogether

Don’t make yourself ill holding yourself to standards you cannot meet

Well, this stopped me cold.

i don't wanna be a weird old person but there's this great invention that holds liquids you can drink from, it's called a cup or a glass, it can come in all kinds of shapes and sizes, and you can use it any time you're near the source of the liquids you like to drink, and you can just refill it whenever, and you can wash it however you want, and if you're lazy about washing it, it's open on one side so there's nowhere for bacteria to really build up? anyway i recommend them, they used to be so fashionable as to be omnipresent and nobody seems to use them now but i promise they work great.
i even like to bring them places and then pour my water from my bottle into them, and then i never put my mouth on the bottle so then i can share it without sharing germs, and don't have to wash my bottle as often, so i don't need that many bottles.

cups or glasses often come in sets of multiples, so you don't tend to run out of clean ones either!

you can even wash and reuse smallish glass jars for this purpose. salsa or jelly jars work great. a little harder to clean because the mouth is threaded, but still more sanitary than a water bottle because the mouth is wider so you can get your hand in there to scrub it. Can't recommend 'em enough.

I know this sounds condescending but I am fully losing my mind at the thought that someone would need so many water bottles to have a constant supply at all times every day or otherwise they'd get dehydrated. I'm sure there are a few lifestyles where that's the case but please let me preach to you the good word about just having a cup of water in your house. If you ever spend time in your house I really cannot recommend a drinking glass enough. You can ignore this if you like but if you had not considered drinking out of a cup let me remind you it's a thing you're allowed to do, especially if you left your good water bottle at work and don't have a spare.

Bonus: They make these things called pitchers, which you can leave in your fridge, and then you can have cold water whenever you want, in your cup!

Might I suggest the best of both worlds and introduce y'all to mason jar drink lids?

Can you drop them on the floor while capped and not have them leak? Yes. (IME the glass of the jar itself is too thick to break easily)

Can you stick a straw down the spout if you can't pick them up to drink? Yes.

Can you get different ones with infuser baskets (if you want mint water or iced tea) or other fun shit? Yes.

Can they contain both hot and cold liquids? Yes.

Most importantly: are they dishwasher safe? Typically yes.

Also IMO they taste better than normal reusable bottles because glass doesn't have a taste like metal or plastic does. I can't drink from most reusable drink containers because they taste weird to me.

ALSO, you get to drink out of a mason jar, which is always better than drinking out of cups or water bottles.

I will gently push back at @bomberqueen17 though in noting that often, these issues apply to people who don't have easy or reliable access to a water source . . .which is why they have water-bottles.

If you move around a lot during your day, you're not guaranteed to have access to a tap or a fountain at the moment that you get thirsty: waterbottle! If your job allows for water bottles but either penalizes leaving your station or is just flat out unlikely to have a moment for you to leave where you're working: waterbottle! If your situation literally forbids open-topped drink receptacles but will allow waterbottles . . .

You get my drift. And that's without actually getting into mobility situations that may make just getting a cup of water/etc non-viable. Or the fact that some of us are just so damn clumsy that an open-topped cup left around is GOING to get spilled, whereas we can more or less train ourselves to close a waterbottle.

Also I'm pretty sure that the person directly prior was going to the furthest possible imagining to make a point; mostly the people I see objecting to this kind of thing with "but then I'd be a horrible person because plastic!" are people like, for instance, my sister, with whom I had this conversation over disposable gloves for the days when her sensory shit about touching dirty dishes becomes Untenable but she still, you know, needs to use the kitchen, and when I'm not there.

This happens maybe once every couple months. But that still felt like "so much" wasted disposable stuff to her until I walked her through it.

Now on the other hand it also would not actually be unreasonable if we literally had to go thru a pair of gloves or two a round of dishes because fuck you it's a needed aid. Which is the point I think that poster was making: EVEN IF this was your use case, for whatever depressive or anxious or mobility or other disability reason, DO THAT and meet your needs of non-poisonous hydration.

But also if you are framing "so many water bottles!!!!" as "in order to keep water with me all the way through my day, I'd need at least two bottles in my bag", also: fine. That's fine.

Yes! There are other options! If you're at a place where sinks or water fountains abound, cups are a great option. Kids sippy-cups come in cool patterns if you're afraid you'll knock it over, and are all able to be dishwashered. Those mason-jar lids are EXCELLENT and likewise.

But also if you just need to buy several flats of water and put some water-bottles in your bag, just do that. Disability is a thing.

i have witnessed unspeakable horrors . the horrors weren't undescribable or anything, i just had to sign an NDA
