It is always better to be safe than sorry. This especially applies to women who live alone and fear for their safety and security. A woman named Mary Alice–who goes by @heyitsmaryalice on TikTok–posted an important video sharing her own experience of living alone and encountering suspicious people. Alice stressed that women who live without family or friends around them should never turn on their lights immediately upon entering their apartment building. In her video, she elaborated on how one can evade a potential stalker who tracks the daily routine of women living solo.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

The oboe is known as “the ill wind that no one blows good.” There’s no question that it is a challenging instrument, but how did it earn such a dismal description? After spending a career with the oboe, I see clearly that it is the number of ﬁnicky components that we juggle. It is more of a moving target than most other instruments as the components of instrument, reed, and human are constantly shifting under our literal ﬁngertips. We have a wooden or plastic instrument with ﬁne key work, and screws that are often going out of adjustment due to weather ﬂuctuations. Performances, despite hours of practice, rely on tiny mouthpieces carved ever so delicately out of literal swamp grass, and each one only lasts for only a couple rehearsals or practice sessions. Last but not least, when students are still in the learning process of the instrument, it is easy to fall into the habit of changing the physical approach in reaction to the daily state of the oboe and reeds. How do oboists ever expect to ﬁnd consistency and a solid foundation amidst all of this chaos?
