Plastic #TeaBags Update: How To Avoid Harmful Release

Jan 03, 2025

Excerpt: "Some tea bags are better than others if you want to avoid ingesting plastic. The tea bags studied by the Barcelona scientists contained polypropylene, cellulose and nylon, but there are many tea bags in stores which are plastic free.

"To work out whether your tea bags are free from plastics, check the packaging. Plastic-free brands are likely to use this in their marketing, so check for labels such as 'plastic-free,' 'biodegradable' and 'compostable.'

"If the box says 'PP' (meaning #polypropene), 'PET' (meaning #PolyethyleneTerephthalate) or '#nylon,' that means the tea bags contain plastic.

"Another way to avoid plastic from tea is to switch to loose-leaf tea and a plastic-free tea strainer, such as those made from stainless steel."

Better Living Through Chemistry (slogan)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"The phrase 'Better Living Through Chemistry' (BLTC) is a variant of a #DuPont advertising slogan, 'Better Things for Better Living...Through Chemistry'. DuPont adopted it in 1935 and it was their slogan until 1982 when the 'Through Chemistry' part was dropped. Since 1999, their slogan has been 'The miracles of science'.

The phrase 'Better Living Through Chemistry' was used on products that were not affiliated with DuPont to circumvent trademark infringement.[citation needed] This transmutation is now more commonly used than the original. This statement is used for commentary on several different topics, from the promotion of prescription or recreational drugs, to the praise of chemicals and #plastics, to the sarcastic criticism of the same."

🫟 𝑪𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒐𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒔 🫟

Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial ocurrió algo curioso que hoy parece casi increíble: muchas mujeres comenzaron a pintarse las medias en las piernas.

En los años cuarenta, las medias de nylon eran un símbolo de elegancia femenina.
Pero cuando empezó la guerra, el nylon dejó de destinarse a la moda y pasó a ser material estratégico: paracaídas, cuerdas, redes militares… el ejército necesitaba cada hilo.

Para muchas mujeres, esto significaba perder un elemento esencial de su vestimenta.
Pero la creatividad apareció rápido.
En lugar de renunciar, empezaron a recrear las medias con maquillaje líquido, tintes o pinturas especiales, y dibujaban incluso la línea trasera que imitaba la costura de las medias reales.

El resultado, visto a cierta distancia, era sorprendentemente convincente.
Tanto, que surgieron salones de belleza especializados en “maquillaje de piernas”, donde las mujeres podían acudir para que les pintaran las medias con precisión profesional.

Aquella moda improvisada se convirtió en un ejemplo curioso de cómo la vida cotidiana se adaptó a las restricciones de la guerra.
Porque incluso en medio de un conflicto global que transformaba industrias enteras, muchas personas encontraban formas de mantener la normalidad… aunque fuera dibujándola con un pincel sobre la piel.

This pose and outfit was directly inspired by John Willie's old bondage drawings! He was absolutely an inspiration for so many kink artists, and it was a delight to try to recreate one of his iconic images with Crimson here! By her expression, I think she's excited about it as well!

From Naeema's family:

"It's a very strong storm; it will tear the tent off the ground.
Help us get a new tent or new nylon💔"

Ich fange an: Nichts, wirklich nichts auf der Welt, hört sich erotischer an als Beine, die sich in #Nylon- oder besser noch #Seidenstrümpfen unter einem Rock beim Gehen aneinander reiben. Das wunderbare leichte „ssss! ssss! ssss!“ - womöglich noch in Kombination mit dem rhythmischen Klicken von Stilettos auf einem Holzboden … egal, wo ich bin, was ich tue, wer dabei ist, was sonst um mich herum passiert, ich höre dieses Geräusch … und bin sofort hart. 🥰

Yeej finally a new piece finished 🥳

Some words to wet your appetite 😲
