new from me in WHYY: Kensington gets another cleanup effort. What’s changed this time?

As Philadelphia’s Kensington “Blitz” continues, outreach workers and people on the street say services are still missing.

@tyler_craw2 @pucadots i literally write about addiction every day for work & am 4 years clean. the way SWU presents these stories is exploitative and not helpful.

[andrew mcgurl @andrewstiwitter]

@ColonelJCuster @kevinvdahlgren much appreciated. i spend most of my days at work on the street with people who aren’t clean yet. compassion for people engaged in shocking behavior like this is difficult, but necessary. hatred keeps them dying on the street. love gets them clean.

[andrew mcgurl @andrewstiwitter]

@dope_fiendish you’re right. even 7-OH is far preferable to this, but the government and media establishment have made a point of demonizing both. it’s shameful

new this morning in WHYY

Medetomidine is complicating withdrawal from illicit drugs, leaving people in Philadelphia’s Kensington neighborhood struggling to find treatment that can help them recover.

@ColonelJCuster @kevinvdahlgren as someone who has been clean since 2022; you don’t know what you’re talking about and i encourage you to find empathy and compassion for these people instead of hatred and scorn

[andrew mcgurl @andrewstiwitter]

@ColonelJCuster @kevinvdahlgren you are literally saying you want them to die. your point is ridiculous on the face of it

[andrew mcgurl @andrewstiwitter]

@grove_tender @kevinvdahlgren (that was my point)

@hvsperus @theranosblood not always, devoting a majority of time to that has led to solidarity movements unlike any other country though. the us civil war, hugh o'flaherty, spanish civil war, the panthers, humanitarian and ground work in lebanon... what you put out come back too :p
