I did some organizing with a woman who, in my area, was doing a lot of stuff to make sex-workers lives better. Like pressure the city to pull back on laws that allowed them to use the possession of condoms as evidence of sex-work. Pressuring them to get the local PD to refocus their vice department. Building a network of people sex-workers can turn to for support. Amazing woman whom I wish very much I could have helped so much more to do all the things she wanted to do. She was speaking out and contacting sex workers across the country to build a movement. Then one day, out of nowhere, she died of a fentanyl overdose. She wasn't a user. She wasn't an addict. Her partner and room mates found her. They were shocked. She just, as it turns out one night, decided she was going to IV a heroic dose of fentanyl. Just a normal thing people who have no history of addiction or hard drug use do. Just something that can happen to anyone whose friends would never be the wiser.

Anyways, probably a coinkydink. These things happen every day.

Reminds me of the time I went to an anticop protest and a week later my vehicle got flagged for an outstanding ticket. Turns out that a few years ago when I was in an accident where someone slammed into me they had gotten a ticket for that. Somehow, and isn't this just the funniest thing, the ticket got changed in their database 2 days after the protest to show that the ticket was never paid and was actually issues to me instead. If I didn't pay I was going to get a warrant out for my arrest for this outstanding ticket. Luckily I caught the issue before it came to that and squared it away. Was a real headscratcher to the boys in blue as well. They swore they had no idea how such a computer glitch could happen.
