@Brian_A_Hackel Cozy but clean. Local art all around, preferably by people who use or in recovery. Focus doesn’t have to be drugs, just thought-provoking. Sitting with a warm cup of tea or coffee would be amazing. Space for yoga/meditation/creating for those of us who can’t sit still haha

There's a story going around the Milwaukee area about an alleged fentanyl contact overdose that may not be as it seems. Contact overdoses are extremely unlikely. A quick explainer:

[Coalition for Syringe Access @SyringeAccess]

Drug use isn't the primary predictor of homelessness.

Rising housing costs are.

A higher rate of people in Cleveland died of overdose than in Portland, despite Portland having more than 3x the number of folks experiencing homelessness.

Every account of a serial killer’s life and personality is like, “He seemed very successful and normal. Unless of course you count his obvious and obsessive hatred for women, which we didn’t.”

[Morgan Godvin @MorganGodvin]

Harm reduction offers unconditional dignity, regardless of a person’s drug use. It doesn’t mean I think addiction is any less miserable. It just offers a single safe space for people to keep one foot in society, and is often a conduit to health services and eventually recovery. /

[Coalition for Syringe Access @SyringeAccess]

Criminalization of a drug like xylazine won't prevent overdose. It will just provide a path for new drugs to emerge.

This is how we got xylazine.

Rx opioid crackdown ➡️ heroin surge
Heroin crackdown➡️ fentanyl surge
Fentanyl ubiquity➡️ xylazine to make fent more like heroin.

@steviegayvaughn This is my main reason

Hey y’all. Are you looking for HRT but don’t know where to start? Worried about therapist letters and gatekeepers? I made this two years ago and have maintained it since. EVERY informed consent HRT spot in the country. No therapist required.

The first woman to solo thru-hike the entire Appalachian Trail was a 67 year-old grandma who did it in high-top Keds 🧵

Sex Trafficking in its most rarest form is somebody snatching you off the street…more often than not it’s a family member or a partner trafficking a person.

What Andrew Tate talks about “making girls fall in love so they’ll do what he wants.” That’s called the Loverboy Method

On World AIDS day, I think about all the friends and lovers that died, including my best friend Mark Miller. I think of a relative that died six years ago from AIDS, after going undiagnosed (despite living in major cities where testing should have been routine).
It’s not over.

A love language for anyone trying to heal trauma is: transparency.

[Garrett Reuscher @GarrettReuscher]

What does being “sober” mean? It could mean feeling depressed. Alone. Hopeless. Suicidal. Important information to know before asking someone to stop using.
