As a former public librarian and current person who walks their dog, I’m of two minds.
I’ve seen less drug use and public sex at local public libraries than at interstate rest areas and on hiking trails.
If you’re going to overdose, I’d rather you do it in public where you can get help. If you’re going to engage in public sex please don’t do it around people that aren’t into that. There are private clubs for that.
Almost no one does that stuff inside the library. Maybe they have more instances in places like LA, Chicago, Miami, etc.
Most abusers drink, do drugs, fuck, etc. then come into the library and stumble around. Like OP said, it’s acceptable bc it’s safer. Just as long as they don’t disrupt services or break policies.
Yes, but my local dungeon closed during the pandemic so I don’t know where to point folks anymore. I’d check on FetLife if I were you. There’s also the Queer Liberation Library if you’re in America and looking for “objectionable” reading material online.
And I’ve never been hip with the drug scene, as I imagine the young’uns say.
The Rhode Island Department of Health was giving away free Narcan at Providence Pride this weekend, so I picked some up. I’ll keep it on hand in just in case someone needs it. Go fuck yourself :)
Everyone else: Narcan’s readily available in states and there’s very little risk to administering it. It’s a spray up the nose.
(eta: context. My brother overdosed and you pretty much wished that others experience the same pain.)
As a precaution, you should expect that the person who you give narcan to will become violent for you taking away their high. You should still save their life, but be careful and be prepared.

If it’s a private club, it’s no longer public!
Well, it’s more public than your own home and everyone there consented to being around potential strangers having sex. Consent is sexy!

Or set off the fire alarm by vaping in the bathroom. I hated when teen boys did that. It was always belligerent teen boys.
Yea, but are you a …… sexy librarian with the glasses?

That’s quite fair. People don’t tend to react well to becoming suddenly not-high. I don’t even react well to becoming suddenly not-asleep.
dont complain to me, I didnt sell drugs to your junkie brother. Maybe you should have taken better care of him
