slip into the diamond life

Humans have been smoking shit since we first figured out how to light things on fire. Humans will always smoke. You will never, ever, EVER get everyone to stop.

The GOAL should be better safety regulations for what goes into smokes and vapes, better social support networks for people who want to quit, better safety nets so that poverty and stress and unmedicated conditions don't drive people to smoking as self-medication, and the creation of effective safe-usage sites where people can get their fix without impacting others unnecessarily.

Smokers aren't evil cackling villains who want to personally pollute your air. We're just...people. Personally, I probably wouldn't have started smoking as much if I actually had access to some ADHD medication. But that costs a fuckton of money and requires a doctor who gives a shit.

And the kids are like "but they get into our bug traps" and "we didn't catch him he followed us home"

And their parents are like. Please i do not believe that 6 fucking pixies smuggled themselves into our garage on the underside of your bicycle saddle and then set up shop in the old dolls house. These are living beings they're not toys it's not kind to treat them like this

And the kids are like we are NOT treating them like anything you said we're not allowed to trap them and they always get into our traps so we always run away when they see us and then they follow us and get inside our backpacks and stuff

And the parents are like

Stop lying!!!

And then they set up wildlife cams and not only can pixies apparently do all of that and are very desperate to hang out with these human kids (who have fun life-sized toys and are covered in wonderful things like glitter and are a free source of fresh bugs and pop tart crumbs)

But they can also like. Fully just pick locks and shit.

🚨Safety Alert Australia

If you rely on a hidden phone for your safety, be aware that Australia’s new emergency warning system, AusAlert, can send alerts that override silent and “Do Not Disturb” settings.

If safe to do so, turn off any hidden device before the scheduled test and only switch it back on after the test period has ended.
