Want to support my work? Any of these things would be enormously helpful!
- Support me on Patreon!
- Send some supplies for my kids, using this Amazon wishlist 🙂
- Help me with online shopping (I haaaate buying clothes and don’t even know what brands are good anymore but need some high-waisted cotton pants and long dresses lol)
- Video editing support
- Are you a musician? I need royalty-free background music for my videos, and it would be nice to have artists I can link to rather than using CapCut’s free shit!
- Are you a tattoo artist? Let’s trade some promo videos for a tattoo
- If you’re any kind of fitness person, help me body double with exercise: I need yoga help, my body, she hurts a lot
- Do you have medical or pharmaceutical knowledge? Help me with harm reduction info!
- Do you have a solid working knowledge of Canadian drug laws? I would love to chat with you! Sorting through them myself has been a big chore.
- Give me feedback on my posts. If you think I’m right or wrong about something, or have an insight on a topic to share, leave a comment!
Want to help with harm reduction in the rave/electronic music scene in general?
- Educate yourself and your friends on harm reduction. (Good resources: Trip, Rollsafe.org, DanceSafe, /r/MDMA and /r/Drugs.) Let them know that if they’re ever not feeling well at an event, they can come to you and you’ll help them, with no judgement.
- Educate yourself and your friends on the real reason for the harms that come from drugs: Prohibition. Here are some tips for how. An ex-cop explains why drug prohibition needs to end in the video below.
- Share water, earplugs and knowledge.
- When there’s no free water available at events, badger the hell out of the event organizers about it. It’s illegal and immoral.
- Use a test kit and tell your friends about them.
- Join the Canadian Students for Sensible Drug Policy (CSSDP). See if there’s a chapter at your school. If it doesn’t exist, start one!
- Volunteer for the TRIP! Project.

Hello, in Greensboro, NC doing harm reduction. I run the only drug user union in the US South. We have quite a few people involved with the EDM music scene in our union. If you ever need any info from land of conservative christian lunatics hit me up!
