    Next headline: tRump administration blocks California from issuing any more regulations, mandates microbes in drinks. tRump quoted: ‘make drinks great again! We’re bringing back the plastic straw! Paper straws, so dumb, many experts call plastic the best! Now we’re making them better with beads!’

      Well… yeah a lot of paper straws literally implode on themselves after about 2 good sucks. I tried going reusable metal straw but it started growing something in it even though I washed it daily. I think the old myth that the plastic straws were killing turtles has run aground seeing as that floating island of garbage is all fishing gear and cigarettes… so I just want to go back to plastic straws so I can enjoy a thick milkshake even if Im getting a heavier dose of microplastics my brain is full of them anyways from sitting here on my plastic sofa.
