Where are you being compassionate with yourself?
Where are you being compassionate with others?

Where in your life could you be more compassionate? With yourself? With others?

If we want a compassionate world, we must begin to bring more compassion into our daily lives.

Get a better paid job, get a second job, wear an extra jumper, eat for 30p, swim in shit, live with Covid, don't call an ambulance, live without fresh fruit and veg, stop buying lattes and Netflix, live with your parents, stop talking down Britain, stop ruining Brexit and shut up

[Dr Julia Grace Patterson💙 @JujuliaGrace]

Nurses aren’t the problem.
GPs aren’t the problem.
Hospital doctors aren’t the problem.

This government is the problem.
RT if you agree 💙

[Jo Grady @DrJoGrady]

RT this if you stand shoulder to shoulder with every nurse, postie, university worker, rail worker and every union member striking and saying Enough is Enough.

History will not look kindly on those who sit on the fence.

It’s us and them now.

Join a picket line.

Fantastic day at work training people on Naloxone for #InternationalOverdoseAwarenessDay 💜 Trained people who admit they would usually decline the opportunity and also friends of drugs users! Proud of all of them and pleased to give them hero wrist bands.

[Dr Dan Goyal @danielgoyal]

A reminder, the reason you struggle to get an ambulance, wait hours in A&E, days for your GP, months for your hospital specialist, and your operation keeps getting cancelled, is because this Government refuses to support the NHS, even during a pandemic. They just don’t care!

I see someone has found a copy of Liz Truss's manifesto.

@PeteKrykant_OPC I've had service users who have been set on fire whilst sleeping or had their tents set on fire whilst sleeping off the beaten track so it looks like someone set out to do it.

Thank you @ScotFamADrugs! To avoid the frustrating conversations at public events and secure units about bringing in needles 🙄 I'll now be carrying Nyxoid instead #youneverknowwhenyoullneedit

If you call yourself a harm reductionist & you think the fight for abortion rights isn't your fight, well...

Here's the door.
You can walk yourself out.

We fight for bodily autonomy for all & for all people who use drugs, whether its methamphetamine or Mifepristone.

[BR⚢KE @BabblingBrookeA]

Harm reduction isn’t anti-recovery, it’s anti-coercion.

[Garrett Reuscher @GarrettReuscher]

Recovery is not defined by abstinence.
Recovery is not defined by rehab.
Recovery is not defined by 12 step.
Recovery is not defined by counselors.
Recovery is not defined by programs.
Recovery is not defined by others.
Your recovery is defined by you. Full stop.

Is insulin a crutch for diabetics? After 2 heart attacks, no more blood thinners?

[BR⚢KE @BabblingBrookeA]

“Just say no to drugs” isn’t viable as a public health strategy for a number of reasons, chiefly among them being that there is no evidence that drugs can hear or comprehend language.

[Garrett Reuscher @GarrettReuscher]

You’re not just saying “stop using drugs.” You’re also telling someone to stop managing their pain, coping with depression, connecting with others, fulfilling sexual desires, enjoying moments of rest. Less concern about the use and more care about the reasons for using.
