Want the real story behind the opioid overdose crisis? Here’s a hint: it’s not so much about drugs, but about PAIN. How We Hurt will be out in September, with this gorgeous cover by @OxUniPress.

@CHSmithPhD was a member of my dissertation committee, a wonderful teacher, and a true friend. He has a dedication in my book, and I’ll never forget everything I learned from him. Rest in power, my friend.

@hilaryagro I like thinking about it in terms of “moral injury” vs burnout, especially when the factors wearing us down are failing institutions, the erosion of collective structures of care and the corresponding strengthening of neoliberal capitalism. Would ❤️ to talk more about this

Naloxone availability in 100% of SF permanent supportive housing bldgs is critical, but we also need to financially support the PSH residents who engage in this life saving work. The SRO Project @DOPEproject @DISHinSF completed a sucessful pilot - fund and expand it!

@tomphillipsin I freaked out/flipped out
