Ending the stigma of drug use will save lives.

“Never Use Alone” is a number you can call when you have no choice but to use when you’re alone.

If you call (800) 484-3731, an operator will answer your call, and ask for your first name, location and whether you have any allergies, or medical conditions. After you’ve given us this information you can go ahead and inject your substance. After you’ve ingested the substance, we will continue communicating with you. If you do not respond after 30-45 seconds, we will notify emergency services of a possible overdose at the location you’ve given us.

We will never shame you, judge you, or preach at you to quit. If you are ready to quit though, we have treatment resources for every state in the US. Regardless if you have insurance, or not. We will do our best to connect you with the help you need. please call. We are on standby.

This seems like a solid and real thing, I did my best to vet them and found their FB: https://www.facebook.com/Neverusealone/

They also seem to help with getting Narcan.

holy shit this can actually save Real Lives like dudes this isn’t a joke and isn’t to be passed off

from this reddit thread that has a lot of people talking about the hotline, including sharing their own experiences. additionally, it looks like there are also similar overdose prevention hotlines in other countries now, such as canada and scotland

For those in the notes wondering about their cop policy, here’s what they say on their website’s FAQ:

They also say that all of their volunteers have personally experience with substance use, and that they do not accept volunteers employed by addiction treatment centers.

Have you reconsidered embracing ceremorphosis?

Sudan still desperately needs aid--it needs a lot of things, but it is approaching a dangerous point with famine and mass death due to hunger imminent.

These are the kinds of headlines we're getting now:

Here's an ongoing fundraiser:

I linked it before, to help with Ramadan, but it's an ongoing initiative, the need has not stopped.

I picked this gofundme because it's been boosted by people I trust and you can see pictures online of the food they've provided, e.g.:

But I also picked this because you can see the amount of donations. It's 2pm ET on Saturday, April 20th right now? For the next week, whatever's donated, I'll match for a total up to $2,000 (we'll say 2,750 CAD, since the gofundme is in Canadian dollars).

You don't have to send me a receipt, I just ask that you donate and boost.

Hey, amidst the chaos of... everything on the internet, pay attention to Hawaii/Hawai'i!

There have been plans from a non Hawaiian organisation to build a 5 acre parking lot, 13 lot subdivision and a comfort station for tourists on the ridge of the sacred Pololū Valley!

This project doesn't acknowledge Pololū Valley as a wahi pāna (a celebrated and storied place in the cultural traditions of Hawaii/Hawai'i) and instead treats it as just plain land that can be sold to a highest bidder.

Pololū Valley is anything but that.

So please sign the petition to stop this project! As of writing this, 883,470 people have, but we need more!

Petition to protect Pololū Valley

Reblog to reach more people, please! Don't just like and move on, sign the petition and make sure more people see this!

you should also donate if you're able

and if you want more details on what's going on, there's a website by the organizers of the petition, you can sign up for their newsletter to get more updates

Just be silly bro please. You're forgetting your whimsy, this isn't you.

happy birthday to weed

what's the first movie you remember seeing in theaters? don't try and be all edgy and cool and say like tetsuo: the iron man. be honest.

Go!!

all the new god portraits (so far) in hades 2 !!!

i run ttrpg games *very* rarely, just halloween one-offs every couple of years. but! here is the the most fun theatrical trick i've played on my players. it totally got them

this was a story that was going to begin with the players playing themselves, sitting around the table in my living room, and then in-game the living room (and the players) would be transported to another plane

i rigged up a bluetooth speaker next to the window and closed the curtains. about ten minutes after they came in, before the game even began, i began playing rain sounds very quietly over the speaker. every couple of minutes i turned the rain up louder. just as the game began, with the rain at near maximum volume, one of the players even said "wow, it's really coming down out there, it wasn't even raining when we arrived"

i wrote a creepy verbal ritual the players had to complete as a group to transport the room to another world. right as they finished the ritual, i turned off the lights in the room using a remote and turned off the rain sounds at the same time

it was crazy effective. realistically it only took them a couple of seconds to figure out how I'd managed to turn off the rain, but they all said later on that those few seconds were completely disorientating, even frightening

anyway, i'm still proud of it 💜
