$70k/yr is considered low-income.

$20/hr is only $41,600/yr if you work full-time and never take time off.

$20/hr only sounds high because we’ve been told over and over it’s too high by the same businesses making record profits.

[Diane Yentel @dianeyentel]

Today we published #TheGap24. There are fewer than 4 affordable and available rental homes for every 10 extremely low-income renters.

*This* is the root cause of homelessness and the urgent rental crisis that must be solved. Read: https://t.co/0mXuZLXI5q

There is absolutely no reason that “spring forward” shouldn’t happen on a Monday at 4pm.

The NYT will print just about anything these days including an article (not an op-ed) about how San Francisco's "culture" is worsening the city's addiction crisis. There is so much misinformation in this article and just blatant inaccuracies, it makes me want to scream. But instead, I am writing a detailed thread on its inaccuracies. NYT DO BETTER. 🧵1/

Just pub in @JournalGIM - *Inpatient* #HCV treatment coordination and treatment was feasible and highly effective in achieving cure among hospitalized #PWID at our institution in Southeastern US.

Articles you “plan” to read

@KateandOlive_ I am shook

[Madeline McCrary @MadelineMc5]

Same issues faced in NC. An in-person requirement will greatly impact ability to provide care for people in rural areas esp w transportation issues (often why ppl do bupe telemed and not an OTP) or long waitlist. @KateandOlive_ @Elainaaaaaaa

[Elaina Young @Elainaaaaaaa]

This. Crackdowns have never been helpful.

[Elaina Young @Elainaaaaaaa]

@KateandOlive_ Ariel feels the same

[Ruaidhrí Give4Gaza.org 🆘 @itsror9]

Been thinking a lot about how @drcarlhart said to rename “harm reduction”. I think a lot of folks felt some frustration because in the US, it was originally Black and brown led. From the Panthers to Young Lords to QTBIPOC HIV/AIDS activists. But now… 1/5

[Kathy Flaherty @ConnConnection]

It’s clear that a number of people who do not have first-hand experience of the psychiatric system do not realize how much it relies on coercion and control rather than compassion and care. This is not to say that there aren’t caring mental health professionals — there are.

@MadelineMc5 @KateandOlive_ @opioidpolicy And to add, written consent often hinders appropriate care in the context of telehealth if patients do not have the technology available to receive, sign, and return consent forms.

[Madeline McCrary @MadelineMc5]

Happy (belated) holiDAA(y)s! @asherjs @Elainaaaaaaa @KateandOlive_

[Alister Martin @AlisterFMartin]

The x waiver is officially dead!!!

With a stroke of the pen @POTUS has followed through on the promise he made at the State of the Union to:

“Get rid of outdated rules that stop doctors from prescribing treatments.”

BFD, folks.

Kudos @RepPaulTonko 👏🏽.

It’s time to #treatOUD.

[Coalition for Syringe Access @SyringeAccess]

HOLY MOTHER-FORKING SHIRTBALLS!

The MAT Act made it into the FY23 Omnibus!

When this spending bill is passed by Congress, the X waiver will have officially been X-ed & life saving buprenorphine will be easier to access!

Huzzah!!!

[Elaina Young @Elainaaaaaaa]

So accurate.

I'm 25 years old.

And I work in healthcare

This is my daily routine.

Dreaming of a world where people understand that bars are safe consumption sites and alcohol is an example of safe supply.
