“I want to remind my community that there is no moral difference between a weekend warrior snorting bumps of cocaine on the dance floor versus a homeless person smoking fentanyl on a street corner”

Police enforcement drives overdoses because people are pushed to use alone which increases the risk of a fatal overdose, and confiscating drugs makes people buy again (maybe not from a trusted source) thereby increasing their chances of being sold toxic drugs which increases their risk of OD.

“We have an opportunity to save our own lives by doing what we’ve always done: sharing knowledge and educating each other about safer practices, breaking down stigma related to drug use, and caring for each other without judgement”

LOUDER!!!

The police said the preliminary investigation indicates the marijuana was contaminated with fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid that can be lethal even in small amounts.

Police in Rhode Island are saying someone died from fentanyl-laced cannabis based on preliminary drug testing done by the police, and I just want people to remember law enforcement is not qualified to perform drug testing or determine cause of death. It helps nobody to create unfounded drug panics.

By Heather Knight Reporting from San Francisco April 2, 2025 Plastic straws are banned in San Francisco, at least if you want to drink a soda or lemonade. Those smoking fentanyl, however, have been able to get them for free, at taxpayers' expense.

truly one of the most disgusting ledes I’ve ever read in the NYT

How to Protect Your Retirement Savings Now as Markets Plunge If you’re within five years of retiring, either before or after, you’re at your most vulnerable financially. Here are steps to weather the volatility.

Here is the top comment on this article: “You are advising responsible honest people who have worked hard, saved all their lives… to scale down their retirement dreams because a one person has decided to destroy the US economy. Why not write an article about how to get rid of the real problem?”

I say this while agreeing to host an emo theme show sold out so quick deadass

*Exceptions apply*

I love an alt-nite theme don’t get me wrong…but it might be helpful for some club promoters to remember that lots of punk and metal shows already exist in most cities & the “target audience” would probably just go to an actual punk or metal show in real life vs. pay the same $ cover for a parody 🙃

Pedro Pascal’s new movie celebrates the strangest Oakland moments of the 1980s "Freaky Tales," starring Pedro Pascal, takes inspiration from a real-life nazi showdown outside the punk rock venue 924 Gilman Street.

Watch a little Oakland history "but the fourth one of its subplots, involving a brawl between Nazi skinheads and punks, is actually based on a true story. "
