Starting Feburary by *trying* to take more photos on top of making poses, so here's the first of hopefully many ❦

Job 7:5 “My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and suppurates.”
“B.C. plans to give ‘safer supply’ fentanyl to minors. And parents won’t have a say”
“In a sad twist, the same laws that allow the government to give recreational fentanyl to kids without parental consent also prohibit parents from sending their children to involuntary addiction treatment — in other words, the government won’t help you force your kid to get clean, but they will give them unlimited ‘safe’ drugs against your will.”

The train doesn’t stop here anymore. A southern looking Greek Revival courthouse sits on the north side of the town square. Lincoln spoke here in October of 1858 when it was still brand new. No one remembers what he said. In the old days they mostly tried cases concerning chicken thieves, public drunkenness, bootlegging, and stuff like that. Now it’s mostly meth and fentanyl possession, domestic violence, and burglary. It’s still a great little town to settle down in. It just ain’t what it used to be.
Ollie- coming out of of torpor again.. Rehab.
Vampires don't usually get addicted, but having struggled in her previous life with fentanyl- Fey drugs hooked her and years of torpor ensued. Being supernatural does not allow one to escape themselves. <3 Love and kindness to all that struggle.<3
If you are a new follower, I want to introduce you to my big sister, Nikita named after the TV show Nikita played by the beautiful Maggie Q.
You can check out her photo album below. She told me to stop hanging out with fentanyl addicts and weed dealers in the DC metro. Maybe I will take her advice.
Not sure where this is going; working on a blogpost on visualizing urban distinction for www.screenpunk.nl. Skid Row and the fentanyl crisis in the US are maybe too straightforward subjects to express la differance. Allthough the images have great narrative powers, the expression of urban differences may need a bit more subtlety.
I make no apologies for my language.
Today we met Richard an addict who is living on the streets of Albuquerque.
He was in a place where it's unusual to find the homeless and addicts. We chatted a long while and in his moments of clarity, if there is such a thing when taking fentanyl idk, he told me he's 51 and has a wife somewhere and ihe is totally aware he's an addict but so very much wants help. We also talked about tattoos but that's a whole other story :)
He has gotten help previously but today he lapsed. He wanted me to take a photo for all to see the effects of this fecking awful drug called fentonyl. We made sure he had food and gave him lots of water and got Richard the help we could in this moment.
The reality of his situation is unthinkable and perhaps inevitable.
I have thought long and hard before posting this but decided anyone who sees this to please, please, please do what you can to help a lost soul.

On Monday we learned that our other dog, Kaley, was not developing arthritis as we thought but instead had advanced bone cancer in the head of her femur that had already spread to her lungs. This was an utter shock because she had shown no symptoms other than avoiding jumping and climbing. Since there were no valid options for surgery or chemo we brought her home with a fentanyl patch to relieve her rapidly increasing pain long enough to say some kind of goodbye. By Thursday it was time to let Kaley go.
We are all devastated. Gracie seems puzzled not to find Kaley in any of her usual spots around the house and yard. They had been together for all of Kaley's 12 years. We'll get through this but right now we are thrown for a loop and missing our sweet Kaley terribly.
Tremendous Success has eluded these two. Spotted in Vancouver's Down Town East Side (DTES) on Powell Street in Gastown. Drug users, definitely, homeless, without a doubt, desperate, likely.
This report summarizes all unintentional illicit drug toxicity deaths in British Columbia (accidental and undetermined) that occurred between January 2019, and November 30, 2020, inclusive. It includes confirmed and suspected illicit toxicity deaths.
Inclusion Criteria: The illicit drug toxicity category includes the following:
Street drugs (Controlled and illegal drugs: heroin, cocaine, MDMA, methamphetamine, illicit fentanyl etc.).

The number of illicit drug toxicity deaths in November 2020 equates to about 5.1 deaths per day.
In 2020, 70% of those dying were aged 30 to 59. Males accounted for 81% of deaths in 2020 to date.
The townships experiencing the highest number of illicit drug toxicity deaths in 2020 are Vancouver, Surrey, and Victoria.

In 2017, over 1400 people died of drug overdoses in British Columbia. 2018 is heading to break that sad record. Here, in Vancouver's Downtown East Side (DTES), it's not uncommon to see people carrying Naloxone kits. An injection of Naloxone can quickly reverse the efffects of an opioid overdose. This man has used his kit a number of times when he encounters people in distress in the streets and alleys of this troubled neighbourhood.
Benni is loving the company; 2 of our children have been visiting. Doug is very exciting and Kerri is doing a great job of giving her lots of attention even with Rena in the house. Kerri is a cat person, works in a cat clinic but loves all animals.
Doug is a dog person, has had a K-9 law enforcement dog in the past and is currently training another Malinois in search and rescue and Fentanyl finding. He gets a kick out of bouncing Benni, no prey drive or sniffing skills but a total lovebug.

The Effect of Fentanyl in Toronto
Fentanyl and its analogues have had a devastating effect on Toronto, contributing to a severe opioid crisis that primarily impacts vulnerable communities.
What Fentanyl Is: It is a powerful synthetic opioid, 50 to 100 times stronger than morphine. In Toronto, the main issue is not medical fentanyl, but illicit fentanyl being mixed into other street drugs (like heroin, cocaine, or counterfeit pills) without the user's knowledge.
Public Health Crisis: The contamination of the drug supply with fentanyl has led to a sharp increase in overdoses and deaths across the city, making it one of the leading causes of overdose fatality.
City Response: Toronto has implemented several measures in an effort to mitigate the crisis, including:
Establishing Supervised Consumption Sites (SCS) where individuals can use drugs under health supervision.
Expanding the availability of naloxone (a medication that reverses opioid overdose) and educational programs.
Efforts to address underlying issues of housing and mental health.
Not a disposal box for broken musical instruments, sadly.
I recently wrote a one shot story about this photo for 35mmc:
www.35mmc.com/04/03/2026/harps-many-stories-in-one-shot/
It is a stark and sad reminder that, even in one of the wealthiest, safest, and most educated cities in America, the spectre of the fentanyl/opioid epidemic still looms. But along with this sadness is hope, hope in a future where it is redundant. Until then, I'll keep walking by these boxes, hoping to see it removed or out of use.

Yesterday, November 3rd 2023 my son is now in the arms of the angels at least I hope so. Sadly his death was due to drug overdose. As my only son, him and I had major battles, up and down mother/son relationship, and not speaking to one another for 5+ years ~ knowing his ongoing addiction with drugs I knew one day I would get a call but I never knew how hard it would rip and shred my heart to pieces. My heart has been broken many times seeing all the times we faced him standing in front of judges, going into rehabs and yes even prison time. All in the name of drugs. For years I worried, stressed, felt immense amount of pain and guilt. As a single mother working 2 jobs most of my life it was an uphill battle fighting a family of enablers who did not nor would they understand the fact my son was a drug addict and continued to support his habit by believing his lies that the monies was for other things not drugs. The drug Fentanyl took my son from me, Now I only have the memories of him as a baby growing up ~ the blonde hair blue eyes little boy with freckles across his nose remains in my mind today. I struggle to accept this that he is forever gone from my life. Sadly the last time I saw him was over 10 years ago sitting across from him as he served his time in prison. When he got out I truly thought his life would turn around knowing he could go back if he was found with drugs in his system. His nickname was Lucky and for most of his life he was till his luck ran out.
I mourned him long ago when drugs took their grasp on him. This song is sung by Sarah McLaughlin "Angel and the inspiration to write it came from her reading an article by the Rolling Stone Magazine about the death of the keyboard player from Smashing Pumpkins who passed away at age 34 of a heroin overdose in a hotel room. Since this song came out it was like a magnet to me that I would listen over and over. Her voice is that of an angel so please take time to listen to the words. Take time to hold your loved ones close as you never know what tomorrow will bring. My pain is real and the hurt is immense but I wanted this to be a memorial to my one and only son Myron...please know that I will always love you and that you have found that peace now as you lay surrounded by angels. Rest well my son ♥

A bus stop PSA warns of the dangers of fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid. Recently, it's been the cause of death for many users who think they are taking their usual heroin dose.
Larry again
haven't seen him in a long time
because I think the park is packed to the hilt and no space for him and his birds.
This one i took when the bird was looking at Larry

I have had since last sunday, 3 bowls of Cream of Rice hot cereal, 2 bowls of cold cereal, a colonoscopy, two slices of French Toast, soda, tea, coffee, gatorade, water, water, water, and more water.
I had a bad reaction to the narcotics given during the "procedure" and spent two days after vomiting with a massive headache.
how do drug addicts take fentanyl and/or demerol with a little propofol on the side ?
while I was going through my tiny ordeal, the people of Montecito in california were trying to survive a massive mud slide following the fires in their area.
I had told a friend in Brazil, "remember when I said that there'd be mudslides when it rained in the fire areas ?"

I am counting my blessings and sending my sorrow to the victims and their families.
In NYC, collectors get the 5-cent deposit back for each eligible bottle/can, plus a 3.5-cent handling fee from distributors, totaling 8.5 cents per item if sorted well (like at Sure We Can), but they get the base 5 cents when redeeming at stores. While the 5¢ deposit is unchanged, collectors advocate for a 10¢ fee, as it's tough to make a living on just the nickel, with some earning around $400-$700/week.

Because all signs here point to... don't eat the pizza...Stop right now and just walk the other way. Nuthin' to see here, folks.
We got up early today (especially for a non-work day) and did a 2-hour photo safari downtown along the (in)famous Granville Strip.... which, I hate to say, is in a worse state now than when I first visited Vancouver in '93, and even in the whole time I've lived here, which will be 30 years next spring.
Working right in downtown Vancouver again (first time since early 2018), it's noticeable how bad Granville Street has become despite its heavy revitalization about 15-20 years ago. While a lot of its latest downfall was partly due to covid, the fentanyl problem is pretty clear too, even though this is definitely not the worst part of town for that.
Could be my last year of living in Vancouver after 30 years here, so I'm trying/hoping to capture the city that I've known, loved, kinda resented, felt disappointed in, then loved again, and watched completely change (well, mostly) in that time - for better and for worse!
(For the record, I've never actually eaten at this pizza place so this is in no way a review.)
Its been so cold

Manhattan
with the wind
the temp reaches single digits
though it looks like passerbyers
