Naloxone should be widely distributed for free, but at least it's a bit more accessible now for folks in California. It can be purchased here:
"Any Californian can purchase naloxone, an opioid overdose reversal medication, directly from the state at a discounted price, Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office announced Monday.
"The medication is available online for $24 for a two-pack of the nasal spray, roughly half the market price of the drug. Previously, the discount was available only to government organizations and businesses."

OK. Just binged FEEL GOOD season 1 + have to add it to my #rebcommendations. Two seasons about the Canadian Mae Martin as Mae Martin, a comedian that struggles with gender issues, priviledges, and relationsships.
"“It’s so frustrating that so much of identity is about comparison,” Martin says. “I just feel like myself. I don’t even feel nonbinary. I just wake up, have a coffee and go to work.”" <333

A post about me
https://nilio.ca/post?title=A%20post%20about%20me
This post is an attempt to start writing on my blog, it's a journey to find a creative direction for the future of what I will write while I don't want my blog to be too tech-oriented (just enough).
In this post I write about myself, my struggles and how I've overcome them. There is a bit on how I use computers and my current projects.

Which of my characters would I consider healthy or unhealthy?
I've got a character (more than one, actually) who leans on wine/alcohol when they're stressed, and makes bad decisions under the influence.
I've got 2 salamander characters who're drawn to the fire, one leans on family to deal--the other . . . doesn't.
Unstressed well-adjusted folks are less fun to write.

Today In Labor History April 7, 1915: Jazz legend, Billie Holiday, was born. She was one of the first to sing Abel Meeropol’s, “Strange Fruit,” and performed the most well-known version of the anti-lynching song. Soon after her first public performance of the song, in 1939, the new Federal Bureau of Narcotics started gunning for her. Harry Anslinger, who was a racist, prohibition zealot, led the assault. He hired a black agent provocateur, Jimmy Fletcher, to befriend her and sell her drugs. And Fletcher conducted her first drug bust.
