I genuinely can't imagine having to be a young girl in school today and having to worry about fake porn of yourself while you're just starting to understand your own body. It is such a sexual violation and regulation needs to happen faster

So, I spoke to people getting food at a food bank and here are some things I learned from those in need:
1. Everyone donates Kraft Mac and Cheese in the box. They can rarely use it because it needs milk and butter which is hard to get from regular food banks.
2. Boxed milk is a treasure, as kids need it for cereal which they also get a lot of.
3. Everyone donates pasta sauce and spaghetti noodles.
4. They cannot eat all the awesome canned veggies and soup unless you put a can opener in too or buy pop tops.
5. Oil is a luxury but needed for Rice a-Roni which they also get a lot of.
6. Spices or salt and pepper would be a real Christmas gift.
7. Tea bags and coffee make them feel like you care.
8. Sugar and flour are treats.
9. They fawn over fresh produce donated by farmers and grocery stores.
10. Seeds are cool in Spring and Summer because growing can be easy for some.
11. They rarely get fresh meat.
12. Tuna and crackers make a good lunch.
13. Hamburger Helper goes nowhere without ground beef.
14. They get lots of peanut butter and jelly but usually not sandwich bread.
15. Butter or margarine is nice too.
16. Eggs are a real commodity.
17. Cake mix and frosting makes it possible to make a child’s birthday cake.
18. Dishwashing detergent is very expensive and is always appreciated.
19. Feminine hygiene products are a luxury and women will cry over that.
20. Everyone loves Stove Top Stuffing.

In all the years I have donated food at the Holidays, I bought what I thought they wanted, but have never asked. I am glad I did. If you are helping a Family this Christmas, maybe this can help you tailor it more. It does for me!

A new study finds that "candy flipping”—combining #MDMA with #LSD or #psilocybin—might lower some of the drugs’ challenging effects and enhance positive ones.

🤯 "MDMA therapy = more than twice as effective as placebo"

The results of MAPS second phase 3 trial were published today in Nature. The MDMA group achieved remission of PTSD at more than twice the rate of the placebo group after 3 sessions.

What's next? MAPS will use this data to support a new drug application with the FDA. MDMA assisted therapy could be FDA approved for PTSD as early as Q1 2024.

Huge congrats @MAPS & @rickdoblin

This week I attended to a 92 year old woman who was so stylish.

Her blood pressure was like that of a 30 yr old. She had pearls on her neck, paired with an amazing wrist piece

A vintage top, paired with a designer bag.
I had to ask her what her secret was?
She said...

This is incredible. Mr. Stanley, a high school chorus teacher is retiring, and he invited former students to come back and sing with him one last time. This is what happened. ❤️🎶 Sound all the way up

#BreakingNews 206 people died of illicit drug toxicity in April of 2023, one was my good friend. I'm sorry to all the people who have lost a loved one or have someone struggling. 💔

The number of deaths in Apr= 6.9 per day.💔

In 2023, 70% dying were aged 30 to 59, and 77% were male.
Sadly we haven't been able to adapt to the always changing illicit drug market .💔
