@AmyKPeacock And the second with Cate King, @AmyKPeacock , Dr Jodie Grigg, & @WingSeeYuen1 which found that people who inject were more likely to have an invasive drug dog encounter than those who use MDMA, despite being no more likely to be carrying drugs at the time.

Dr Rachel Sutherland, @DrCaitlinHughes & I wrote for @ConversationEDU about the need to stop weaponising beautiful dogs as a tool of the carceral system.

Based on our 2 papers, first working with @AmyKPeacock Dr Jodie Grigg & Kali Chandrasena which found that anticipated presence of police drug dogs at music festivals may increase drug-related health, social and legal harms for ppl who regularly use MDMA. https://t.co/WhejLbSfSU

Great to be at the #SANDAS2022 Symposium with Dan Howard and @DrCaitlinHughes talking drug law reform. Stigma and harms are directly related to the legal status of drugs. Drugs are more dangerous because they are illegal. We can’t address stigma while drugs are criminalised.
My book officially has a cover, and a birthday!!! I am grateful to Beth Steidle for this design, which celebrates one of the novel’s big themes: women being alone in the water. Coming to the US via @Tin_House March 7, Pisces season 🌊
