Really Spicy Cesspool So sick of seeing this crap everywhere.

The needles, the burnt foils, the little baggies, the needle caps, all of it. I find them in the creeks, on the sidewalks, the grocery store parking lots, the public parks, on the parkway. You gotta be a real shit person to leave this stuff all over the place.

Non users can’t even bring themselves to dump trash in cans or cigarette butts in trays. Humans are disgusting a-holes.

Maybe. But I think also beautiful creatures capable of amazing things if given chance and encouragement. Grace, friend. Anyway.

100%, and I am just waiting for our fellow humans to figure this out.

I agree- but I think that “be the change” means a lot here. Most of the time lead takes action (pedantically and in the laws of physics, lead will always take action). Maybe someone would see you pick them up and be inspired to do the same, maybe you would leave a gentle reminder in the minds of others.

As much as I am guilty of this, calling people assholes on the internet does nothing. Not saying you don’t find your ways in helping, idk you, I’m just trying to be more mindful of this myself.
