Ack! Tough one.

Keep less taxing, current job and do the passion stuff on your time schedule as you can?

Methadone is one of the most studied, safest, & most effective medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), cutting overdose risk by about half. But due to strict regulations, it’s only available through federally approved opioid treatment programs. Learn more at drugpolicy.org/resource/med...

Sorry, I don't have subscription to share. But this is a cool story.

Chilling that big pharma is resistant to looking into these medications for drug and alcohol treatment....

Great looking reading list for Indigenous Peoples Day!

Storytelling is a source of power. Sharing stories changes minds, guides actions, creates connections, & builds community. Reading lists share stories, of course, but also can be an act of storytelling themselves. So here is a reading list & story for #IndigenousPeoplesDay...

And YELLING and chainsaws...

All so stressful. Honestly wish I was not here for it.

I think all the hearing damage plus working around such loud equipment all the time just leads to more LOUD!

Hit the nail on the head. 🔨 Thanks.

I live in Oregon. Not Portland. Grew up just over the border in Northern California.

I think this thread does a good job capturing an angle of the Portland ethos. And general PNW ethos.

What The Hell Is Going On, a thread:

I’ve seen some thinkpieces and posts about Portland protests that fail to understand the long-term hyperspecificity of Portland culture/humor, and frame it as a sort of shitposting meme-pilled ironic thing. Which is wrong.

So I’m gonna give you my breakdown.

It's crazy how every October a lot of Americans still observe a holiday commemorating horror, death, bloodshed, and greed. And also Halloween!

Both are a terrible racket.

Agree. Could be electric. And seems unnecessary half the time.

Dr.DreadPirate ☠️ 🎃 @pnwdreadpirate.bsky.social · 1d

Yup. Daylight burning!

Sorry neighbors.

Just the most disruptive sound.

Chat:

Which is worse: wood chipper or gas leaf blower?

Dr.DreadPirate ☠️ 🎃 @pnwdreadpirate.bsky.social · 1d

7:57 A.M. and the wood chipper is ROARING about 25 feet from my neighbor's house ...😬😬

Dr.DreadPirate ☠️ 🎃 @pnwdreadpirate.bsky.social · 1d

Tree guys are here. It is not a quiet operation.

And they haven't even revved up a saw or chipper.... @lornetoledo.bsky.social

Y'know, I have the day off, and this has been sitting on our bookshelf for eons....

Born This Day 1937, Joe Henderson.

I was lucky to receive this CD from a friend of his/patient of mine.

CD titled Joe Henderson page One. On cover, man leans against a Gray stone wall with a saxophone case standing upright next to him
