A rock opera made entirely by med students in Cleveland

If you were wondering, we had watched the pangolin documentary, then poop cruise, and then we started holding hands during rob ford: mayhem mayor.

explaining how in 2014 the methadone changed and everyone went back to heroin and there wasn’t enough heroin so they had to buff it with fent.

Afterwards I’m typical Juls, talking about ODs, and he asks, “why even is fent, I mean why did it explode like that?” A perfect moment there, in a living room nest wearing only thick white adidas socks

I really can’t believe the fucking 10s I bag sometimes. 6ft, 31, fit, Lebanese so those perfect fucking curls, does maintenance for non-profit housing. I made a nest in my living room today and there we watched 3 documentaries then kissed, etc.The whole time I’m thinking How!! Is this happening??

Everyone knows that scripture says “give me your wealthy, your diversified stock portfolios, your recently-detailed Porsche Cayennes”

In Prince George, businesses could even get grants from the city to implement these psychological torture tactics, but such things often discussed in closed meetings.

The high-pitched noise? You would imagine! I certainly suffered from it. I only heard of it for the first time last week in Surrey, they do it at a skate park there starting at 10pm. previously I had only known of the super loud looping opera music in many communities

So the drug supply is very unpredictable, PLUS intentional use increases to treat isolation, desperation, and despair. This is even more dangerous when combined with criminalizing just existing—unhoused ppl always need to hide. It’s a recipe for death and it’s being prepared every night, across BC.

So far one takeaway is this: all these things we as a society do to control or deter unhoused/drug-using ppl—displacement, loss, hostile noise environments—just increases drug use. Drugs are cheap and available and effectively numbs anguish.

The entire town of Duncan is filled with a high-pitched squealing noise intended to deter loitering. I stopped there to rest my brain last night but the noise had the opposite effect. I was returning from Nanaimo where I was interviewing about how built environment helps ppl survive/succumb to OD.

She is very timid and cute and a people pleaser and also gave me way too much money for a 7-month-old puppy

Okay I got such a giant singular random donation and I went and checked and it was from this dog that Teddy bullies 🤔

When your university rejects your travel grant application despite being accepted to present your thesis research on an international platform, all you can do is turn to the internet to beg (after exhausting all your resources).

people are dying from drug policy, which governments can change.

the relentless messaging that this is addiction and trauma and individuals is preventing all of us from confronting the overwhelming horror of this and seeing it as systemic violence for which the only solution is systemic change.

How I respond tho (happy to help)

The types of texts I get, two years after retiring from front line

The conference is the International Network of Health and Hepatitis in Substance Users @inhsu.bsky.social! It is in mid-October.

I have 3 minutes to convince a large international audience of prescribers that based on my thesis research, the body of clinical research is largely asking the wrong questions while under-paying and over-burdening participants!

Lots of things need money and support right now which I am cognizant of! However, stimulant users are dying of exposure to the toxic drug supply and some users require a pharmacological intervention. We have one but everyone thinks it “doesn’t work” because of misinformation and bad research.

Hello I am humble recent masters student asking for your support to get me to Cape Town to present my research on user perspectives on stimulant agonist therapy to an international audience of addiction medicine doctors!

two scandals here: VPD fuelled panic over stranger attacks even as they fell dramatically in 2022, and then refused to release records about them for 14 months, which is against the law

Screen of tinder conversation: I say “where are you from?” Man says “good morning, Ontario, where are you from?” Then he says “I have crazy morning wood! Hehe”

Everyone: “why don’t you try dating nice, normal, age-appropriate men?”

“Nice normal men” out of left field after a week of small talk:

Whippets?

I think they should re-assign all the dogs to do watching instead of mauling, just my two cents!!

I mean it’s a dumb idea, but essentially, why is one group of people engaging with drug users and assisting them
in bettering their lives while they are still using “enabling” but the other group is “building recovery capital”? I’m serious. Like what am I missing here?
