Blaze and I are trying something new here, so go easy on us... Introducing the first episode of (one of) Our Trust Fund’s newest podcast featuring two stoners discussing god knows what while fried.
We don’t have a catchy title for this project yet but really couldn’t wait to be stoned and chat together—something the two of us used to do eons ago. We plan on doing more of these, regardless of your opinion, but it would be awesome if you find it funny. Do note that, as you’ll notice upon hearing this episode, we are the opposite of professional podcasters and I literally edited this episode together THIS MORNING. So, like all things of mine and OTF’s, its a work in progress.
Enjoy! 🌬️🍃

Show Your Support: ShatterProof
Apologies for the delay and thank you to Aimée for pointing out I had yet to change this month’s Show Your Support Organization! Everyone, welcome Shatterproof.
Shatterproof is a national organization that focuses on those struggling with the disease that is addiction. According to the CDC, there were over 107,000 fatal overdoses in the U.S. in 2021—the highest number in history. Shatterproof shares that 295 Americans die from overdoes every day. But if these numbers are so horrifically high, what is being done about it? Stigma, says Shattproof, is the missing piece in our nation’s response to the addiction crisis. When we view addiction as it really is—a disease—more people will seek treatment and fewer will die. Shatterproof outlines National Principles of Care they believe will assist in better serving Americans with or without addiction:
#1: Routine screenings in every medical setting
#2: A personal plan for every patient
#3: Fast access to treatment
#4: Long-term disease management
#5: Coordinated care for every illness
#6: Behavioral health care from legitimate providers
#7: Medications for addiction treatment
#8: Support for recovery outside the doctor’s office
Shatterproof reminds us that for every major disease in this country, there is one well-funding national organization—except for addiction. Shatterproof’s goals are simple: Transform addiction treatment, end the stigma that perpetuates addiction, and educate and empower our communities to get the help they need and deserve. In the OTF fashion, we have already donated $50 and encourage you to do the same. Addiction is a treatable disease.
