To make a bamboo based cup the bamboo must be grounded into a powder and then a Melamine and formaldehyde containing resin is added. Although one-off exposure to large amounts of these chemicals isn’t necessarily problematic, the BfR estimates that regularly using a bamboo mug poses a serious health risk.” “all bamboo mugs released ‘alarming’ amounts of the toxins into 70☌ / 158F drinks, up to 30 times the EU’s safe limit for adults and up to 120 times the limit for children. Pura Kiki Stainless Steel Toddler Sippy BottleĪ recent study in Germany looked at bamboo coffee mugs and found that Here are some of my favorite Early drinking cups Straws should be made of silicone (stainless steel could hurt very young babies) Glass should be slightly thicker glass and if you are worried about breakage consider a silicone sleeve. Silicone should be food grade or medical grade and lead free (and never heated over +/-320F Sticking to glass, silicone and stainless steel In terms of materials used, just like baby bottles, I recommend: While you might choose to avoid sippy spouts- there are other options little ones can use to help with this transition (or for moments when you just don’t want to deal with a spill) like straws. Yes things will get wet and the cups might be thrown across the room, but that is how they can best learn. So how do we teach a 6 month old how to drink from a cup after drinking exclusively from a bottle? Patience ! Take your time teaching them how to drink first by modeling and allow them time to explore and try it themselves. In fact, The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that you can transition children as young as 6 months into an ‘open cup’. Their reason? These can cause ‘ development delays’ like speech delays. It turns out, many experts also recommend skipping sippy cups. The reason? A couple of years ago it was almost impossible to find a sippy cup without plastic and I just was not comfortable with that. I get asked a lot about sippy cups but, while I did use one with my oldest, I did not use one with my youngest. As soon as you think your little one is ready (and sometimes sooner- it can be as early as when they start eating solids!) it is a good idea to transition them away from bottles and into cups.

It’s the exaggeration of that believable idea that makes the situation so humorous. Of course there is no one in this world as nonsensical and absurd as Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum but they are believable because they represent an emotion and personality trait we’ve all seen in real life. At some point everyone has run into someone on the street who wasn’t very helpful to them, gave ridiculous answers, and kept going on about some random, irrelevant topic. Last this part is very funny because it’s a satirical, exaggerated version of something we’ve all experienced in life. Also this allows her to like in this scene challenge the logic of the other characters and this serves as a source of good entertainment. I prefer this version because it allows her to be a voice of reason in the film and remind us of how ridiculous the behavior of the other characters is. This gives a sense of familiarity to the character and lets us connect with her (and if you’ve been a teenage girl put in a similar situation identify with her completely.) This contrasts with some other scenes where she is portrayed as a younger, more sensitive girl. As a teenager myself (17 at time of writing) I can indeed confirm that the way she carries herself and the way she acts her is very true to the way many teenage girls act. In this scene it’s worth noting that Alice is portrayed as an adolescent girl who’s very self-aware, intelligent, and perhaps has a bit of an attitude. The contrast between her stuffy, uptight attitude and the irreleventness of Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum(who resemble vaudeville comedians) makes this scene very entertaining. Normally lines like “Because I’m looking for a White Rabbit” or “Because I’m curious to know where he’s going” are pretty bland but she says them with such an attitude that they can be rather humorous. Although Alice isn’t wild or crazy I find that she can be very funny because of the way she responds to the situations she’s in. Seuss books and lyrics in John Lennon songs (fitting because he himself was a big fan of the Walrus and the Carpenter in the book version.) These lyrics were written to be animated to and the combination is contagious.Ī big part of what makes the section with Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum is that the absurdity of those two characters makes Alice’s reactions and responses to them very funny. They make absolutely no sense but they sound great together and are so absurd they’re hilarious but in a smart way. I recommend searching on Google and reading out loud the lyrics to the Walrus and the Carpenter because I guarantee you’ll cry laughing. The lyrics and dialogue have strong use of wordplay and have a nice ring to them. Although story isn’t really the focus here I find that the writing in this section is very clever and witty. I could see Joe Grant and Dick Huemer working on the half with the Walrus and the Carpenter because they were all about New York-flavored comedy and vaudeville. Certainly the half with Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-dum looks like it could have come from his drawing board. I don’t know who storyboarded this section but a guess would be that Bill Peet had some involvement with this scene because he was involved with most of the comic highpoints of the film. All these virtues come together to earn this scene a much-deserved place on our countdown at number 43. The writing, animation, and music is all top notch here and this song is a very memorable one. Characters like Tweedle-dee, Tweedle-dum, the Walrus, and the Carpenter very much resemble vaudeville entertainers from the past and bring back that same type of wit and humor, with the help of animators such as Ward Kimball and Norm Ferguson. In a way it actually feels like a short inside a film because the most of the characters in the segment are only present in this sequence with the exception of brief cameos at the end of the film and the fact that there is a continuity within the scene that mostly is irrelevant to the plot. It’s irrelevant, satirical, and full of slapstick but stays true to that premise. The Walrus and the Carpenter segment in Alice and Wonderland is one of the high points of the movie and a good example of cartoon craziness. Synopsis: Alice runs into Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-dum in the forest and they entertain her with a story called the Walrus and the Carpenter or the Story of the Curious Oysters.

Many circumstances exacerbated the effects of the drought, among them the Great Depression and economic overexpansion before the drought, poor land management practices, and the areal extent and duration of the drought. In addition, because of poverty and high unemployment, migrants added to local relief efforts, sometimes overburdening relief and health agencies. These newcomers were often in direct competition for jobs with longer-established residents, which created conflict between the groups. For example, millions of people migrated from the drought areas, often heading west, in search of work. These events occurred in such rapid succession that affected regions were not able to recover adequately before another drought began.Įffects of the Plains drought sent economic and social ripples throughout the country. Roosevelt Library Digital Archives)Īlthough the 1930s drought is often referred to as if it were one episode, there were at least 4 distinct drought events: 1930–31, 1934, 1936, and 1939–40 (Riebsame et al., 1991). A dust storm approaching Rolla, Kansas, May 6, 1935. Although records focus on other problems, the lack of precipitation would also have affected wildlife and plant life, and would have created water shortages for domestic needs. The resulting agricultural depression contributed to the Great Depression’s bank closures, business losses, increased unemployment, and other physical and emotional hardships. Many crops were damaged by deficient rainfall, high temperatures, and high winds, as well as insect infestations and dust storms that accompanied these conditions. The drought’s direct effect is most often remembered as agricultural. In the 1930s, drought covered virtually the entire Plains for almost a decade (Warrick, 1980).

"I don't know anything about it," Bucky denies, getting up from his seat, "I told you before, they conditioned me to only focus on the missions."

"Then don't," Amanda tells him, "We still, however, have some questions about your wife." "Like what?" Bucky seemed confused.

Meta commentary about the platform or the owner is noise to me. I'm on twitter because some people that I follow and some friends are on twitter, and I want to see what they say. Silencing of journalists, banning accounts for saying mastodon, for saying anything negative about tesla or criticizing Musk in any way is a net positive to my twitter experience. Even if it is only specific third-party clients - then even the job of searching for and finding a different client is more effort than I want to put towards this site and its new ownership. With a client app you never saw people you didn't follow anyway, and so as long as it's more effort to leave than stay. I've been using third-party clients for over a decade, every time I've had to use the site directly it has been a nightmare. I've not had an actual reason to physically move over yet though forced to use the site would be that. Meanwhile I've collected lists and screenshots of where the people leaving said they were going. Despite yours, and apparently the new owner's perspective, not everyone on twitter talks about or cares much for Tesla and metadrama, it's the people we follow, and how.īut half of my timeline, and most of my colleagues have left, the only thing that has kept me on so far is that the Tapbots Mastodon app isn't ready yet, because I like their UIs. Yes, if this inconvenience is the case, this is definitely the last straw. Good job, Twitter quitters! Welcome to the club. We live in an age where it's impossible to live an ethically pure life, so I'm happy to celebrate steps forward as people take them. If this disruption to their usual method of consumption is what pushes them over the line, great. It's not only unsurprising to me that some take longer to quit than others, that's part of what made me leave: to undermine, ever so slightly, the rewards for staying. Most people stayed either because they decided Twitter was a net positive for them or because Twitter is a habit-forming drug, or a bit of both. There have always been reasons to quit Twitter and reasons to stay. Ultimately, I just couldn't stomach supporting Musk by continuing to view ads, contribute content, and give people positive feedback (via likes and retweets) that helped them stay: īut I don't think that people who stayed are necessarily morally defective. That cold dose of reality can be good for anybody whether than can receive or not.I left Twitter nearly two months ago. The mute button is equivalent to being quiet for the rude person in the room instead of telling them just how rude they are. I appreciate the efficiency at which you can express quick 140 lettered thoughts of what exactly is going on in your mind, but learning how to express yourself in a way that is evidentiary of some form of tact can help you in the self control department of life all across the board. You learn a great deal about a person by how they govern themselves on social networks and the person who is loudest on the timeline is not always the smartest. Often times, just because you have something to say does not necessarily mean you have to say it, which is a lesson every opinionated person needs to learn the hard way. Who has the intellect to express their opinion and who has the maturity to know its appropriate to do so. Social networks are a reflection of who has self-control and who doesn’t. I grew from this social network burn for the better, and have since changed my style up immensely from my early Twitter days, simmering down on rants and raves and only commenting on things I feel I can really contribute to without being annoying. It hurts a little knowing that a person you speak with everyday is not interested in what you have to say over the internet and puts into perspective just how invaluable your opinion really is. It happens to best of us unfortunately and I have been on the receiving end of being unfollowed by a friend. It allows you to maintain the friendship, follower count and ego from being bruised without having that awkward interaction with an individual you know who knows that you unfollowed them. It goes without saying that seasoned users of Twitter’s realize how difficult it can be to break it to your friends that you follow on Twitter just how annoying they are in expressing their often unnecessary and ignorant opinions on a multitude of things, which is why the ‘mute’ feature was created. I’m not proud to make that statement because I realize how passive aggressive it is to save a person’s feelings by muting them but not have the courage to simply remove them completely.
