always remember that chell is canonically* a transgender woman

Now, I have heard some people try to reason this away with "but tossing a still warm cigarette butt into the trash can cause a trash fire so if there isn't a cigarette disposal box around smokers have no choice but to stomp it out on the ground and leave it there!" However, there is something that exists called a pocket ash tray which does allow smokers to safely store away their cigarette butts until they're cool enough to properly dispose of.

If you stomped it out on the ground it is definitely cold enough to be put in the trash can. You can pick it up. You just don't want to.

Pocket ash trays can also be super cheap and easy to find and carry. We sometimes keep them in our field kits in case we are working with someone who smokes and doesn't have one, to help prevent forest fires as well as reduce litter. It's such a tiny amount of effort; please use them!!

I live in an area where there are no storm drains and we get the runoff from a busy downtown area with several restaurants and bars, and the amount of butts that end up on our street and in our yards after a rain is outrageous. And if I don't scoop them up, their next stop is the creek at the end of the block.

so violent, so sweet

in like 5-8 years when gen alpha starts really making fun of gen z no one is allowed to complain because like 99% of people do nothing but treat those kids like shit

so much of what gen alpha is made fun of (by literal adults!!!) is stuff they absolutely have no control over and is not their fault. they have no control of whether their parents choose to stick an ipad in front of their face day 1 instead of being parents. little girls becoming obsessed with sephora and skincare should not be a reason to make fun of them but a reason to question the beauty industry and its predatory behavior. “brainrot” is intrinsic to every generation. it’s not their fault that schools are increasingly becoming underfunded and kids are becoming more and more left behind by the system. not only are kids gonna be kids but they’re also so insanely vulnerable and unable to do anything about that fact due to being literal children. and it’s so disheartening to see so many things that should be obvious societal issues and causes for concern brushed away or turned into jokes because it’s only affecting children, like they somehow deserve the horrible hand society has dealt them for the very sin of not yet growing up

#A REAL GEN Z NEVER SPEAKS ILL OF GEN ALPHA#<- meme reference#but for real i will go to bad for any child. leave those kids the fuck ALONE#you WILL listen to gen alpha and treat them as the authorities of their experiences!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#on god we are gonna break the cycle of intergenerational division and rise up against ageism
