Mom. Harm reductionist. Born a New Orleanian, raised a Bostonian. BU. Loyola/Roxbury CC. People should not die in vain. US healthcare is broken.

@Narcan_Nate I wonder how much is the result of conditioning from 12 Step-style institutions and how much is the result of internalized stigma. Or maybe it's both?

@OldMetJohn @mayorcantrell No chance in hell. Ownership is amazingly ethical, and this is in no way even remotely true.

@Narcan_Nate That part.

A reminder for SUD researchers we don’t need pictures of pills, syringes, baggies and beers in our presentations. You never know what experiences your audience members have had.

My work often feels disjointed, even to me. I just realized that each rabbit hole I find myself diverted down is related to the death of a client that was preventable. The rabbits I am chasing down these holes are spirits of people. They are guiding me, and I feel a new calm.

@BosLeonRivera @MayorWu Instead of reacting to a symptom, why not address the core issue? Needles are unsightly, but housing is way too expensive.

@traceyh415 Is this your first? If so, it is common to need follow-up after your first time, because they don't have a baseline to compare to. I wish someone had told me, to avoid unnecessary anxiety. If it's not your first time, maybe it will be someone else's and they will read this. GL!

@stock_seeking @EdKrassen So, I shouldn't have had heart surgery for my child at 6 months? God makes no mistakes in our physicality, then I suppose your God saw fit to kill my child?

What makes genitalia any different than any other physical attribute?

Maybe God is trying to teach us something here.

I just recognized an elevator-music style rendering of Usher's "Yeah", and I think it's time for that AARP card now.

Avg 4-year tuition:
•1968: $1,200
•2022: $45K

Avg Hospital cost to have a baby:
•1968: $407
•2022: $32K

Avg House:
•1968: $24,700
•2022: $345K

The folks complaining most about $10K student loan forgiveness seem to forget why they could afford to pay theirs back then.

Rex gives support to entities they can't support publicly. But why? Think a lot. On that. I reserve comment, but think as far as you do..

There ain't a whole lot of dancing here because they know they only here to pay "respect" to the old guard before formally being invited back into the privileged fold. #RexComus #thetweetingofthecourts @TheVagenius

I'm sorry. I just scream at the TV and am not useful here at all. But I live for y'all. #RexComus #tweetingofthecourts
