what are doing on the ground to help? or is shooting vids of the vulnerable at their worst doing something?

get sober, start working in online porn again which you can do anywhere if you have wifi and a laptop and haul your azz over to help

street outreach is a really cool thing. hard, but you can help. learn CPR, carry a charged phone and carry naloxone. in my day doing it the main thing was a chest compression technique that wouldn't work on opioid ODs. sometimes worked on speedballs, it was a crack neighbourhood mostly

naloxone saves lives. made by the same drug company that flooded NA with oxy so if there is a hell I hope they burn in it

but mostly just talking to people, getting them to trust you so you could guide them to services. a lot refused, but a few ended up getting clean and found housing through that

I think you'd be good at it as you are personable when not ranting and know what addiction is like. there is no shame in that

or just shoot footage and go home to pop a brew all false outraged that 'someone should really do something about this'

impotent reaction to a catastrophe
