Doomscrolling reaching epic levels not seen since early Covid lockdown
One of the most popular posts I’ve ever had on TikTok is about the invisible homeless folks that live in extended stay hotels. I’ve had close to a thousand ppl say they currently live or have lived in them recently.

The past 24s have been a great example of why I don’t post my first or even second thoughts when I comes to current events. I was screened for a clearance last years and they went through ten years of my social media posts including likes, comments, etc

I feel weird about the fact that I spent twenty years of my life normalizing Naloxone use and now it’s SO normalized that SAMSHA wants to completely spilt it off from other forms of harm reduction. What freaking times we are living in.

I’ve seen trafficked teenagers try to get their pimps convicted of sex crimes and conspiracy charges. The Diddy trial was way too similar. The jury would have trouble emphasizing with literal children because “they could have just left”

My primary care Dr is prescribing me ozempic after I’ve spent six weeks in the weight loss part of my HMO. Since quitting drugs, I’ve lost and regained 50ish pounds at least 5 times. Very nervous about the whole thing.
