Not to be a drooling socialist cuck, but if a full day’s labour can’t purchase three square meals, 24 hour’s worth of rent and utilities, a fraction of a month’s clothing budget, and a reasonable portion to be saved for when you can no longer comfortably work, what the fuck are we doing shit for
continually updating, not a complete list. feel free to add on any resources you find helpful.
Free Safer Supplies:
Each organization will have different supplies, but generally, harm reduction orgs provide things like syringes, safer snorting + smoking kits, Narcan, condoms, lube, and wound care supplies. Eachorg has different policies for how to get supplies–some do deliveries, some have drop in centers, some only do one to one needle exchange, some are more flexible.
a lot of harm reduction collectives aren’t going to have their information listed on big national websites–it’s always worth searching “harm reduction in my area” and seeing what’s around you. there’s a lot of rad people doing underground work who want to be there to help you who aren’t as easy to find online. If there’s street medic collectives, mutual aid groups or groups like Food not Bombs in your area, you can ask people in them who might know where to find harm reduction services in your area!
Drug Users Unions:
Drug users unions are activist groups made for people who use drugs, by people who use drugs! Drug users unions do advocacy work to end criminalization, as well as providing vital community support. Many drug users unions are also inclusive of sex workers and work to decriminalize sex work as well. You can search for “drug users union” in your state.
Never Use Alone: 877-696-1996. Overdose Prevention Hotline–Volunteers stay on the phone with you while you use and call emergency services if you overdose.
HIPS Hotline-1 (800) 676-4477. Emotional support for drug users and sex workers. Does not work with cops.
feel free to add on more resources. love + lube <3
puts his arm around everyone as an excuse to put his arm around daphne
puts his arm around members of his polycule
he just loves his friends a lot
Fred just enjoys sitting like that and the others take advantage for snuggle time
Fred has very wide shoulders, and if he kept his arms down at his sides he would take up a disproportionate amount of space, so he drapes them across the back of whatever he’s sitting on to be considerate to those around him. It’s the moral and philosophical opposite of manspreading.
All of them at once
Sitting like this means he’s like a trap waiting to snatch his friends up in a hug, and there’s nothing he loves more than his friends (except for maybe traps)
I was waiting for my order at the coffee shop, and they had this thing where you could draw a mask and put it on a notice board, but the part that interested me was the gender (what a surprise) field on the page. Some examples:
* non-binary
* a 16 year old who wrote “gorgous girl”
* an eight year old who either wrote “box” or “þox”
* a seven year old who put their gender as “2”
* someone who put their city as “alpha city”, age as the infinity symbol, and gender as “alpha” (clearly a visitor from the omegaverse!)
* a 15 year old who put their gender as “old”
* a teen who wrote “girl” then crossed it out and wrote “female”
* “Lady Millowee”. That’s what they wrote for gender. I don’t know if they misread and put their name, or if that’s really their gender. Maybe both.
Anyway this coffee shop is right near a high school so I’ll just say The Kids Are Alright
each night that gaza experiences is deadlier than the last, as idf soldiers record propaganda tiktoks, make rave parties and grwms and fit checks, gloat over having food and water, and film themselves deriving sadistic pleasure from torturing their hostages and victims and desecrating the dead.
Palestinians have to display their martyred before the camera for you to believe the atrocities that the zionist entity has subjected them to. they cannot even mourn in private. the apartheid entity murders them in cold blood, and you deliver the killing blow by doubting them.
babies whose families have been killed will never get to know their own name.
i can’t reshare a tenth of the videos and photos that cross my timeline. i have seen more dead children in the past month than i have known death my entire life.
israeli settlers burn olive trees, bomb bakeries and fishing boats, shower white phosphorus and earthquake bombs on the captive civilians of gaza. you already know about the disastrous effects of white phosphorus, but earthquake bombs were last used during ww2 to wipe out entire cities.
how holy is the land that seeks to be built over the mass graves of thousands of children? is it holier than the miracle of a child being born in this hypocritical world?
all 11 universities in gaza have been bombed. academics should be agitating right now, especially those who call themselves “decolonial thinkers.” destruction of universities is a sinisterly deliberate act to sabotage the Palestinians who will survive this great catastrophe.
the act of cleansing your hands before prayer is extremely important to muslims. no part of us can remotely comprehend the grief of the mother who refused to wash her hands from the blood of her children after losing them in a zionist airstrike over gaza. “I swear I won’t wash them, I won’t wash my hands, how else am I supposed to sleep near my kids.”
it is only both moral and right when one side defends itself. the other side are the price of war, no better than insects and cattle and sheep left to die within the four walls of the slaughterhouse.
this situation should not be up for debate, but let me finish with one final thing : do your research about Palestine. HOWEVER. you do not need a degree in middle east studies to object to an ongoing genocide. if someone outwits you in a debate about historical details and every nuance of a subject, you were and will remain entirely correct in objecting to a genocide.
may those martyred rest in peace and be reunited again with their loved ones in heaven’s eternal vastness.
DO NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT PALESTINE.
glory to Palestinian resistance. from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.
Dude I wish I were faking my disorders, do you know how annoying it is to live like this? Lmao.
Someone once told me that I was annoying because I couldn’t focus or remember anything and all I could think to say was “at least you can walk away- I live here”
sorry for being The Wrinkle Warrior. i think it’s so fucking sick and evil to be smoothing everyone out for the sake of “”beauty””. lines are beautiful. what if i killed you
The trouble with the rise of the YouTube Video Essayist™ is that everybody wants to be the next Defunctland or Hbomberguy, but all the wannabes know is how to be an influencer, so the resulting video essays are always really about themselves. You’ll get a forty-five-minute video with maybe fifteen minutes of actual, topical information padded out with half an hour of tedious theatrics about how hard it was to do research for the video and how nobody wanted to talk to them, and I’m just sitting here like “yeah, dude, it was hard because you don’t know how to perform research, and nobody wanted to talk to you because your behaviour toward your prospective sources amounted to borderline harassment, and that’s how it looks in your own version of events which has clearly been spun for optics – I can’t even imagine how badly you must have gone about this in reality”.
How are these people not EMBARRASSEDDDDDDDDDDD go be ashamed of yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What has to be wrong with you to say this publicly on the internet for everyone to see 🙄
Ah yes, the autistic experience of being more mature than your peers as a child/teen, and then less mature as an adult. The window of opportunity to relate is… not there
