Remember "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" ? I feel like there's been a distancing from the "reduce" and "reuse" part and a favoritism towards "recycle" by corporate American.

Capitalism can still thrive with recycling in the mix. You buy Plastic Thing 1, throw it away after one use, and they take that and recycle it into Plastic Thing 2 and sell it back to you. All while continuing to harm the environment.

Reusing puts a damper on things. They can't sell you Plastic Thing 2 when you're still using Plastic Thing 1. Plastic forks, for example- there is literally no reason why you can't reuse plastic forks more than once (aside from maybe microplastics, but it's too late for that)

Reducing is the one everyone wants to ignore. Just don't buy Plastic Thing 1. You don't need Plastic Thing 1. Pick up a set of metal forks and use those for years. Convenience is killing the planet

Going back to old writing is either just like:

1. “Who wrote this masterpiece?! It was ME?!”

2. “Who wrote this absolute shit? Oh fuck my life, that was me, wasn’t it?”

Wanna see a cat throwing a tantrum because she was told she can't have pizza? Of course you do.

I present my spoiled little princess, Lieutenant Nubbins.

Don't feel too bad for her though. She got some feta cheese from the salad I'd ordered.

After three months of being unemployed, I got a job offer today! It doesn't start until next month, but that's perfect timing because that's exactly when my unemployment benefits end. I am so excited!

This drawing made me realise that actually I love the comfort zone and I would like to go back into it. Also that I must draw more tigers.

Said I was going to write today. Made a bi pride cake (and cake pops) instead. It's gluten free!

I really need to write...
