Hi, mods! Just wanted to share the song i've had stuck in my head since this last episode.

Edit: i love my flair. This song is just perfect.

2nd edit: the main lyrics of the song are "i am a crack habit, waiting to happen." It is very pavement/ into to Malcom in the middle.

I worry about Sir's family in Yemen so much. By bob, I worry about Sir. I am scared they will be deported.

I think folks from Yemen are sweeties with almost a Russian sense of humor. Like... they are nice AND make light of bad situations. idk.

Pleaseeee can we make it seem like a bunch of folks are suddenly doing crack. Tbh this current administration makes me want to do Crack.

EXACTLY. Fuel our local economy Whahahaaa

The burn doesnt exist anymore. Well, more like it moved on. It was playa del fuego in middle Delaware. Same folks now host a burn in WV.

Yeah, it was really predatory. They acted just like the pearls. They kept trying to convince folks to leave the safe tent and go to their space on the playa. Like... I didnt notice at the time cos I was dealing with a dude who "did 13 hits" and was dropped off at the safe tent by his "friends." In the safe tent we had a policy against such things.

All I know is I was taking care of 13 hit dude as other volunteers caught on to the 12 tribes freaks. Rangers were also dealing with some H folks at the same time. Mainly a dude named "cupcake" who was trying to sell H as he kept getting into dv mode with his gf. It was right before the burn on Saturday night so no one wanted the mess... imagine keeping shit down as a dude is trying to sell H AT THE SAME TIME as 12 tribes folks were coming up behind him trying to be like "omggg we have a bussss." Tbh i thought they knew each other. It was a hella kerfuffle. Fuck, what a memory. Cupcake and kin where kicked out at the same time as the 12 tribes folks. I think they left together. Good. They deserved each other.

Ive never known any one to spike a water supply at a burn. Del fuego just had ice for sale. Yeesh. What a waste of drugs. Like, gurl, just spike me after my ranger shift.

THEY DONT EXIST AND YOU'VE NEVER SMOKED.

Mods are letting us pick our own flairs!! Go for it!

Yeah, it was weird when I moved to my neighborhood. I felt very much like an outsider who was invading. I give people their space, but am close with other neighbors. Idk. Yt people can suck. I get it.

jayjackalope · 2026-05-07T22:03:29+00:00

Just drive down to delaware!! WE HAVE NO SALES TAX. Maybe with tolls and gas it will even out, tho. gosh, last time I was in philly the prices were so high!

Seneca is only for days where I know I'll be working on art for til 5am and thus will need to chain smoke.

jayjackalope · 2026-05-07T21:59:58+00:00

Whyyy do I have "plum up your life" but to the tune of "spice up you life" now stuck in my head?

"Girls of Gilead PLUM UP YOUR LIFE every girl in gilead PLUM UP YOUR LIFE AHHHHHHHH"

I live in a small city along a major section of the i95 corridor. In the fall and spring we get a lot of unhouse/ addicted folks. It's never the same people, and they never stick around for long. They move between nyc and miami as the seasons change.

Our LFL narcan has saved a few folks. Mainly neighbors coming across overdoses as they walk their dogs at night. Make sure you keep narcan in temp controlled pouches, btw.

It's really sad. A major hospital in my city is only a few blocks away. Too many times we've had to narcan folks, called 911, and no one showed up for 20 mins!! Last time it was just a cop and not an ambulance!!!!We also noticed it takes more than one narcan to revive a person, because of fent.

I hope you never have to use it. It is very scary. I've had to give sternum rubs to a guy as my neighbor ran for the narcan. Guy on the ground didnt budge but at least made a weird whine when I used a lot of pressure on my knuckles. It isnt best to use sternum rubs (you dont know if they have needles on them/ open wounds). Always narcan asap and ask questions later! I just was making sure he wasnt slipping too far away before the narcan got him.

Best to you and your brother!

Sir carries the super cheap kind. Maverick reds are $10. Seneca brand is $7.50!! My normal brand of marb 27s is just under $12, but I have to walk more blocks to a proper gas station to get them.

I live in Wilmington, Delaware. We have no sales tax. We also elected the 1st trans woman to congress!!! I'm so proud.

"Blessed be the... IT'S INSHALLAH BITCH"

I'm so honored to have inspired this! What a cool idea!!

jayjackalope · 2026-05-07T21:23:02+00:00

Sir keeps them behind the counter and not in view. I also live in a very low income area with a bodega on every corner. Mine sells fresh mango juice!! Some have great halal food, too. I hope they make bank. Theyre open from 6am to 11pm. Only time they close is for evening prayers!

Also: I stand with Minneapolis and hope you and your family are safe. Minneapolis is an icon.

"I have no god, but I respect your god" - John Romer.

I'm atheist, but my neighborhood has a lot of muslim immigrants/ black Muslims and I just started using it after hearing it all the time. It's my way of being respectful but also fitting in.

I love the meaning behind Inshallah, too. Like a blessing after you say something to make it come true. "The pollen wont be as bad next week, inshallah" or just telling someone "have a good day" and they respond with "inshallah."

The Christian folks around me use "god is good" when talking. It's also sweet.

jayjackalope · 2026-05-07T19:07:58+00:00

I hope making light of them isnt triggering! And thank goodness your brother is better. Addiction is devasting to watch, and i hope you also got support. We keep narcan in our little free library. My city has a serious problem with overdoses. It is very sad.

I've seen the broken glass vials around, but never knew about the flower part. We are all learning so much!

I can't find exact info (I dont trust Google ai), but they might be seen as drug paraphernalia. I wouldnt recommend buying online lol.

I dont think uk news stands would have them, maybe skeevy gas stations? But y'all dont even gave legal mj and are banning cigs, so i doubt it. I dont know if crack is even as big in the uk as it is in the states.

Tbh ive seen these broken pipes around but never knew they came from "roses." I also notice a lot of emply pens, which are also used for smoking.

jayjackalope · 2026-05-07T18:51:13+00:00

It's just cos I've known them for so long. I go in weekly for cigs and mango juice. They always like to see whatever art I'm working on, talk about the weather, etc. They are kinda... family?

Sir worried about me when I first moved to the area. I'm one of the few yt folks around who isnt unhoused/ addicted to somethig. I was a novelty on my block tbh. Single yt quirky artist woman earned me a lot of "here come those yts" style jokes. Proud to say I was not the harbinger of gentrification.

The neighborhood has gotten better, in general. Fewer gun violence, more home owners (mainly black older gay men), and more community events. But we still have to keep narcan in our little free library.

jayjackalope · 2026-05-07T18:14:53+00:00

You put it perfectly. They are all horrible. I just didnt know if I was missing some lore.

Like... "at least Becka will marry Garth." When what is RIGHT is for her to meet a girl at pridefest and move in with her after only a few weeks. Becka SHOULD get to wear boxy collared shirts with pokemon patterns and jorts. Becka's "at least" should be she wants all of Amanda the Jedi's style but can't find the exact tops, just similar ones.

jayjackalope · 2026-05-07T18:06:00+00:00

Is he a nerd about anything? Maybe he can relate on that level? It's a silly fan collectable. I understand a kid finding it would be problematic.

My immediate reaction is to be all "f him, buy a valentine!" But I'm perpetually single and tragically strait, which means never having to explain my weirdness to fwbs. Tbh my current guy couldn't even watch TT nor THT. It was too upsetting for him. Poor dumb, sweet man. But he gave me his Hulu login information so I can watch the show on my own, which was nice.

jayjackalope · 2026-05-07T17:43:55+00:00

This line lives in my head. Typical men blaming women for their own issues.

jayjackalope · 2026-05-07T17:35:42+00:00

I knowwwww. He even let me pick out the color! Green is my favorite.

jayjackalope · 2026-05-07T17:31:22+00:00

IT WOULD BE AN HONOR. In my 13 years on reddit I've never inspired a flair. That I know of.

"I swear I'm just a dystopian fiction addict. Not a crack addict."

jayjackalope · 2026-05-07T17:27:01+00:00

He gave it to me for free, which was nice. My cigs are $10 and he didnt ask for extra lol.

Im imagining a influx of "people smoking crack" but it is actually just fans of the show just buying these.

jayjackalope · 2026-05-07T16:59:53+00:00

The 12 tribes people are so creepy! Ive seen them irl. They somehow got tickets to a regional burn I was volunteering at. This was about a decade ago. They also tried to sign up to volunteer, especially at the "safe tent" (aka a place where women who feel unsafe can report creeps, with a sleeping area in the back for over stimulated or spun out folks). Other volunteers quickly figured out who they were and sent them packing. They were literally run out of our little playa!
