I don't know what to do except accept this and hope for the best. My credit is fucked. My body is fucked. I am fucked. I just wish I could provide better for the cats. They don't deserve this.

I've been trying to do as much delivery work as I can, but I fell really bad the day before yesterday & sprained my ankle & fucked up my knee & that is on top of the pre-existing physical strain from the surgery. I don't have it in me to beg for help again - I've done that so much this year already.

I AM FUCKING SOLD

I have not, gimme synopsis!

IT'S FUCKIN WILD.

It tells the story of Edwin Rist, who at 20 years old stole 299 rare birds from the Natural History Museum in London which he sold to people who tie salmon flies [for display, not for fishing] so he could buy a golden violin. The museum didn't notice for 2 months. 😐

I know exactly what night you are referring to. That is the night that the misinformation started to spread that the green smoke was the super toxic shit- US Marshals were using HC that night and they threw Green Smoke to hide their use of HC, which is what caused all the nausea and migraines.

Sorry for the Ted Talk but it is my life's mission to correct the prolific misinformation that HC smoke burns green because it absofuckinglutely does not and that information can & has driven people to run out of the less toxic smoke into the more toxic smoke thinking they were doing the opposite.

The green smoke is a colored SAF smoke they used to hide their use of HC smoke, which they were throwing at the same time, while collecting only the HC canisters after so people wouldn't be able to identify what it was, & the new symptoms were from the HC smoke, not the green smoke. But yeah, fair.

There are exceptions to everything, and I am not in charge of anyone, nor am I a leader, but these are things that I believe, based off my experience, can help things go smoother in the chaos and can help prevent communities from driving their medics to the point of burnout.

Just food for thought.

Like when someone is trying to find their kid at the fair- it's more effective to start with yelling specifics than explaining.

"I CAN'T FIND MY SON HE WAS JUST RIGHT HERE OH MY GOD, HIS NAME IS TIM, HE'S 5, PLEASE HELP ME FIND HIM!"
vs
"5-YEAR-OLD BOY, GREEN SHIRT, BLUE SHORTS, BROWN HAIR, TIM?!"

When you scream "MEDIC" you are giving very little information to those you are asking for help, but 17,496 other people are also asking them for help at the exact same time, and they have to assess and prioritize accordingly.

Put as much information as you can into as few syllables as possible.

People who won't respond to calls for medics will respond to calls for supplies if they have them.

"WATER"
"ICE PACK"
"CIGARETTE"
"RED BULL"
"MASK"
"GOGGLES"
"TAMPON"
"TWEEZERS"
"HAIR TIE?!"

If you need help, and you know the specific help that you need, yell for that thing specifically. You don't even need to use a full sentence.

If you get caught in the smoke, you don't need to yell for a medic, just yell "SUDECON."

If you fall and scrape your knee, you can just scream "BAND-AID."

And obviously, there are circumstances where someone might need to call for a medic. I do not want to discourage people from asking for help when they need it.

Think of it like cooperative self-directed triage. We do not want severe injury to be drowned out by a sea of screaming spice.
