I need advice, like seriously. My elderly landlord just moved into our place without telling me or my roommates. He said he rented out his own place, so now he’s crashing in our spare room. That was two weeks ago and he’s still here! 😱

I’m still in shock. My 16 y/o daughter punched me in the eye during an argument over food. I was holding my baby when it happened, and my husband (not her bio dad but close to her) saw the whole thing. I’ve never hit her, never treated her badly—she’s had a good life with us. But this week, I’ve been walking on eggshells in my own home, and she hasn’t even apologized.

A possible surge in overdose deaths in Denver could indicate some irregularities in the street drug supply, Harm Reduction Action Center warned Monday. The Denver Post reported there have been a dozen outdoor deaths in March in Denver, including nine in a nine-day stretch. “Over the past month, there have been a lot of reported overdoses in Denver being responded to with naloxone by people who use drugs, services providers, and around the Colorado State Capitol,” HRAC Executive Director Lisa Raville said in the needle exchange’s newsletter Monday. “Over the past couple of weeks, we started noticing the public death posts on social media and then multiple sources from the city reached out to let us know they were overdose related. We alerted HRAC participants and other service providers for quick communication. Unfortunately, many in the city have expressed that we will need to wait for weeks and months before they will officially determine these deaths as overdoses. That is incredibly frustrating as we need real time information of the drug supply and the names of those we have lost.”
