Harm reductionist. Upstreamist. Health Policy Wonk. Medical Administrative Genius. Reiki Master Teacher. Indignant.

@RS_McNeil @SBS_Yale I found this tweet in a Google result and am so grateful because myself and a colleague are coming up with a syllabus for a harm reduction course and now we don't have to totally reinvent the wheel.

@lycosses @_breadpilled @SweatieAngle Believing that abuse has to be intentional to be considered "real abuse" kept me in an abusive relationship for a long time.

[Athena Huckaby, MPH @athena_huckaby]

@lycosses @_breadpilled @SweatieAngle Being intentional is not what makes it abuse.

De Niro is really phoning it in at this point, that's all I'm saying. #KillersoftheFlowerMoon

"We asked Health Canada for permission to do it legally and they said no. None of us want to be outlaws in this but they forced us to. I can't believe two of my friends got arrested for saving lives," he said.

@AkilahObviously I make but batches of meat in a crock pot, and a big batch of rice in the rice cooker. And then rice bowls all week. Also good for breakfast.

This week, Scorsese releases his film Killers of the Flower Moon: the true story of the mass murder of the Osage and the theft of their oil wealth. But the story doesn’t end when the credits roll. For 27 years, I've been investigating what happened next... 🧵

My new loan servicer. Ugh

[The Debt Collective 🟥 @StrikeDebt]

MOHELA—a broken student loan servicer that got student debt relief struck down by the Supreme Court—has miscalculated nearly half a million people's student debt payment in the first month of repayment.

We saw this mess coming. Why doesn't the Biden admin just fire MOHELA?
