Awkward and wayward. Drug War survivor. Old school syringe slinger. One foot in the rabbit hole.

@SmokeWorksBos I do not agree. Not at all. I've been working in harm reduction for 26 years; the majority of the first decade unpaid. I am a person who injects drugs. My knowledge and experience is invaluable. We did it for free for far too long. Not any more. My team deserves to be paid!

[Jess Tilley @JessTilley7]

@ztalbott @Gail_G_Scott It frightens me how many people are discussing XtheX without considering what patients want.

@sarah_ziggy I am so sorry, Ziggy. There is no room for petty ego bullshit in harm reduction. Just know you are better than this childish behavior.

[Jess Tilley @JessTilley7]

@itsror9 @ChiRecoveryAlli Brandie, you need to be silenced. You have harmed our community with your erratic behavior and fantastic accusations. I will remain silent no longer. We aren't scared of you...WE ARE SICK OF YOU.

[Jess Tilley @JessTilley7]

@sarah_ziggy Unfortunately it is not their responsibility. I went through the same. So infuriating.

[Jess Tilley @JessTilley7]

@keithbrownmph This is devastating news. Our drug supply will continue to be poisoned as the poppies disappear. Absolutely disgusted and full of anger.

[Jess Tilley @JessTilley7]

@MyHarmReduction I have been talking about this for years. EMTS do the same. Years ago, while on outreach, I reversed an overdose while waiting for the paramedics. The individual was revived and able to speak. Upon arrival, the paramedics started to administer IM narcan as a punitive measure.

@ADAWnews @DanielGarrettHR Alison, I think you should know this piece was written by someone who has no idea about drug user organizing (or harm reduction) refreshing? Please explain to me why a stigmatizing classist fluff piece that vomits drug war rhetoric brightens your day?

[Jess Tilley @JessTilley7]

@DanielGarrettHR @flufftronix @DMcDRecovery We don't need to roast you. You will burn yourself out soon enough.

[Jess Tilley @JessTilley7]

@DMcDRecovery @DanielGarrettHR My thoughts exactly.

[Jess Tilley @JessTilley7]

@veruka2 @DanielGarrettHR I am baffled. I tried to meet him where he was at when everyone was torching him. But I give up. Also, he does not exist as far as public record. No arrests. No address. No birth record Nothing.

[Jess Tilley @JessTilley7]

@DanielGarrettHR And what are those weak spots?

[Jess Tilley @JessTilley7]

@DanielGarrettHR Tell me, seeing as you have NEVER BEEN PART OF A UNION NOR EVEN ATTENDED A MEETING,how are we making ourselves look bad? Do tell..Do you even know what a union does?

[National Harm Reduction Coalition @HarmReduction]

"The call for action provides an undeniably comprehensive outline that supports basic human rights, any other approach is just inhumane and based on stigma and fear-based institutional idealism.”

Absolutely disgusting. We need to ensure this never happens again.

[Ben Levenson @BenLevenson]

We’re so abstinence-OBSESSED it’s disgusting.

Why the hell would we RAISE barriers to admission and care right NOW? We don’t stop treating diabetics because of a McDonalds habit!?

This is 1%er BS.

@BenLevenson @WeezieBeale It happens all the time. No more. Time to push back and push back hard.
