➡️ *SAVE LIVES*

Shouldn’t that be enough?
No? Still on the fence?

Ok here are some other reasons why - a thread... because they lead to:

@DrSarahAxelrath @ASAMorg I’m presenting! Would LOVE to see you!

Im gonna say this loudly for everyone in the back 📢 forcing people into treatment has been proven to not only be ineffective but also increases risk of death. #bospoli don’t pretend this is about helping people

It’s cool how as temperatures dropped to frigid levels, instead of opening up the already built multimillion dollar building meant for unhoused individuals with ✨heat✨ they put up more police fences 😐

They DO serve the people @MAAPMass 💜

The irony of receiving a letter asking me to support a police mutual aid group for Brookline (of all towns) while the police regularly make upward of 100 thousand > me in OT in MA. I know where I won’t be donating to this holiday.

You should donate to!:

But someone didn’t just get hurt, they were killed

Society has normalized that homeless and mentally unwell people aren’t human

lock tf in. get your ass in mutual aid groups. lend your time to meal services. care for people in the way a vote simply never could. advocate for community gardens and libraries. stop betraying community. you don’t get a sticker or gold star. lock in.

Trying to put on a brave face as I enter the police state I work within realizing how few people understand the implications of this election on every marginalized person in this country.

Sending love out to everyone today, hold strong.

No matter what happens, it saddens me deeply that rape, felonies, trying to overthrow our democracy, misogyny, racism and transphobia are somehow not deal breaks for 10’s of millions of Americans.

@NanouTheNomad @TownofBrookline Ughhh no sticker is not cool, least we deserve in these trying times!

Also this artist who made the sticker makes ✨spectacular✨ art

Comic relief for this dark day is voting and my sticker option being this fine looking turkey. Thank you @TownofBrookline, I needed that moment 😂🦃

@clairezagorski What weird drug hating people think of fentanyl (also if we all haven’t perished from visualization of fent, does that mean we have superpowers?!):

[Tehya *support harm reduction* Johnson, NP @TehyaRJohnson]

One of my very favorite orgs @MAAPMass has their upcoming tag sale coming up, come check it out if you like cool vintage items and supporting our unhoused neighbors! If you can’t come, no worries, lots of other ways to support (scroll through 💜)
