In #Utah, #Trump’s Vision for #Homelessness Begins to Take Shape
The proposed site where Utah plans to place as many as 1,300 homeless people outside of Salt Lake City.
State officials promise large-scale #involuntary #addiction & #MentalHealth treatment at Salt Lake City’s edge. Critics see “a prison, or a warehouse.”

Le sénateur LR Mouiller retrouvé ivre et blessé dans la rue à Paris. Le président de la commission des affaires sociales du Sénat est aussi un conseiller de Retailleau, qu'il a tenté en vain d'invoquer pour échapper aux policiers. Il est en train de cuver dans la cellule d'un commissariat après être passé par la case hôpital... Les addictions parlementaires, un sujet à mettre à l'agenda de sa commission. https://www.parismatch.com/actu/politique/info-match-philippe-mouiller-senateur-lr-retrouve-ivre-dans-la-rue-et-menotte-avoir-ete-agressif-avec-les-secours-258262

🚨Living with dual diagnosis isn’t easy and it’s time to break the stigma.
🎯After 11 years #sober and living with clinical #depression, old symptoms like apathy and irritability resurfaced. I realized they weren’t a failure—they were danger signs.
I used to be in denial that I live with two treatable #medical conditions. Accepting this truth was—and is—the vital step toward healing.💟
📲 The Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: If you’re struggling, call or Text 988 — Help is available 24/7
11 years sober today. Full of gratitude💟
🗣️I used to think my problem was a character flaw—that I was weak.
Then I broke the denial and learned: alcoholism is a progressive disease, not a moral failure.
✨Recovery networks, including the medical community, helped me learn how to live sober—one day at a time.
➡️ If I can do it, so can you.
📲If you’re struggling, you’re not alone. Dial 988.

"Of course, you and I can be addicted to any number of things - to love, to sex, to worship of our children or our parents, to dominance, to submission. We can even be addicted to ourselves (see Charlie Sheen, Donald Trump). Such individuals can be absolutely fascinating at the same time as they're boring as hell."

#kratom is in the #news.
I used it for a while when I first quit illicit #drugs since it massively quelled #opioid withdrawal, acting on the same receptors:
It's like the diet version of an opioid painkiller.
I slowly tapered off it until I didn't use it at all over roughly a year, and it used to be a lot more niche.
Now people are getting addicted to it in mass since it's a pain killer with extra effects, the #fda is eying it, and I'm glad I stopped.
💟 Mental Health Matters.
I live with clinical depression. I’ve lost a family member to suicide.
I know how real—and how silent—that pain can be. But help is available.
If you’re struggling in any way, please bookmark or share these lifelines.
You never know who might need them.
You are worth it.
You are not alone.

“I think the new web aesthetic is about getting active again. Platforms encourage passivity. They want us to stay still and scrolling, looking at what the algo wants to show us. Like, swipe, repeat. But the new web aesthetic is non-linear. It encourages you to move from one site to another, to dive down rabbit holes, and crucially, to continue sharing what you find.”
