me being stranded in Dublin because fucking Munich airport is a shitshow due to the snow and probably not getting home until Monday evening (earlierst) would be annoying on its own but then also probably missing the joker out concert on Monday is really just cruel

What is harm reduction outreach? I saw you mention it in a post.
Sure!
So I do outreach through an org in my city that provides harm reduction services to people who use drugs and sex workers. We have specific areas of the city that we go to on specific days, and also do deliveries. We also do at least one overnight shift a week to be able to better provide services to sex workers. For outreach, we hand out safer use supplies including needles, sharps bins, tourniquets, cookers, sterile water, stems, Narcan, fentanyl test strips, condoms, lube, bad date sheets, wound care supplies, food, water, etc. We also try to help provide people referrals to services like HIV and Hep C care, share what resources in the city are trans friendly and how to navigate social services with the least bullshit, and also provide peer support and harm reduction education to help people have all the information they need to make choices, and help reduce risk.
It's really important to us that we are not acting like exploitative nonprofits that come in, hoard resources, and expect people to be grateful. outreach is pretty much done entirely by people who are also drug users and sex workers. We are also really involved in local advocacy--we participate in a decriminalization campaign, a drug users union, and a sex work advocacy coalition. and i think nonprofits and government attempts to coopt harm reduction are so fucked up and actively harmful--you can't do harm reduction without also fighting to abolish the oppressive systems that are targeting drug users and sex workers. we have a lot of ties to the community that we're doing harm reduction in--for most of us it just is our community + neighborhoods lmao, and we make sure that we're always getting feedback, respecting autonomy and consent, and building mutual relationships. we've been around for a while and do have a lot of community trust, but we always want to be making sure we're respecting what people want and need instead of coming in with ideas about what services + supplies they want.
anyway. harm reduction is so fucking important to me and it's not just like, something i do to like, build my resume or to try to "save people." i'm a former sex worker and when i first started doing sex work, i didn't have any information, community, or access to anything that would have helped me to be able to work safer. it fucked me up pretty bad and i survived a lot of violence. i wish so fucking badly i had all those things, and it's super important to me to try to build community, care for each other, resist fucked up systems and protect each other.

i can't even put into words how much i want sm's downfall and by the looks of it it's gonna happen soon with the way their artists are leaving and they are resorting to debuting an alledged sa-er i mean..... but what i hate is how much they dgaf about their current groups enough to protect them this honestly tale as old as time and anyone would know this if they at least staned one sm group in their lives but i feel like it's becoming so apparent they dgaf about their artists especially when it comes to riize and now the karina situation like instead of protecting them you are putting them on hiatus for dating and smoking predebut?? making them apologize for wanting to date?? and now the person that invaded seunghan's privacy is now doing it to sohee and anton and this would not have happened if they sued this person in the first place because now wtf are you gonna do?? put them on hiatus?? how is that gonna solve the insane elephant in the room rn?? your artists are being harassed and this is your only solution?? don't fucking piss me off

Can confirm the territorial stuff. I got the books mixed up and read Jason's first and I hated percy so much for no reason at first. Like who is this guy and why wont they shut up about him.
I don't think its helped either that it takes time to get used to a new protagonist and we just didn't spend that much time with Jason the heroes of olympus books each had multiple pov characters so unlike the original percy Jackson series we don't have that connection like if we spent the whole books from just one person's perspective
