It isn’t an insult. I don’t feel insulted by being called woke. I distribute a lot of harm reduction supplies and I get a lot of eye rolling, hard exhaling, shouldn’t they just take responsibility for themselvesing, I had hard times in my life tooing, etc. I am woke. Fuck you gonna do about it? Nazi wimps.

I feel insulted it is used in the name of bills designed to inhibit help to people in crisis. But I am (maybe) accidentally in a job that wasn’t meant to exist? I don’t seem to report to anybody? So I am going to do whatever I want until they fire me. And what I want to do is harm reduction and crisis intervention.

Edit: and since the Internet has maybe provided me with a soapbox, I will continue. You can seek help even if you aren’t homeless. It is better you do before that is even a possibility. If you feel substance use is diminishing your enjoyment of life, come for help.

I do understand hesitation. In some places, this costs money. Even in places these services are free, you feel shame. People are judging you. And — to be honest — a lot of healthcare providers are also judgemental. And I am currently in a small town of fewer than 2000 people. Your private business is maybe going to be everyone’s entertainment. Be strong. Once you do get into the mental health and substance use pipeline, we are mostly good and we are mostly there because we have big hearts yearning to help.

A lot of the reason I have opted to spend much of my time in the community is to overcome those barriers to access to help. Come say “hi”. I will say “hi” too. Maybe that is the first step. Worst case scenario is we were friendly to each other. Gross!

And if you are one of those skeptics who have said I am enabling substance users and let me know that opinion— even angrily — water under the bridge; you are not the first person experiencing substance related symptoms; we got you. Don’t let embarrassment stop you, please. Come back for help whenever you like. Seriously, I’m happy to help. I look forward to meeting you (again). And — if you don’t live near me — someone in your area is too.

It’s me. Sorry, everyone. 😔

“You want to protect Christians and Muslims who have sex with children?”

“Who said anything about Muslims?”

“You’ve done a lot of work to make this work. Do you really want more work?”™

Excuse me, Satan, that’s my email.

Satan: I’m the mailer demon.

To be fair to American cheese, I think the fact that the only thing anyone says about it is that it’s not legally cheese gives people the impression it’s spooky chemicals. It’s really not so bad. Here’s the recipe:

8 ounces solid mild cheddar
¼ cup nonfat milk powder
2 tablespoons tapioca starch
⅜ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
¼ cup dry white wine
¼ cup water

I am looking forward to the muck. None of this is even confirmed but I am excited and comforted by the thoughts of being soaked in blood and semen and feces.

My weekend is not officially over but it functionally is. I have been talking with interesting people for a bit.

🍆🩸😭

Yes, that one.

SKA?

I am going to wear a thrift store black shirt and buy a white shirt when I get there. Thank you, friendo.

Umbrellas are used in sunshine and are often called parasols. It’s not a bad form factor, it just seems to have practical limitations, like being foldable and still useful. Love the idea, though.

Japan is ready. Other places can be made ready. It isn’t hard to prepare people for bikes or whatever. Solar panels on everything are potentially a good idea. I only worry that my umbrellas do not last.

It is sort of my understanding that they were not really a band as much as they are a franchise. The music being second fiddle is fine with me. God, this is terrible. Still excited. Woo!

What have I done?

Pretty sure it is GWAR and then I should probably put an exclamation point after it.

Maybe I will just buy a shirt. If it does stain, I might put it on display.
