It’s hard to be proud to be an American with your country posting things like this from the official government page (among other things).

Too many people in this country claim to love Jesus but need to practice living like Him.

I am going to be so pissed if--after everything--I do, in fact, die of dysentery.

Fentanyl cannot get into your system unless you ingest it. “Fentanyl exposure” is not a thing. If the police don’t know basic chemistry or physics then they probably should stop cosplaying as experts on toxicology

Best recently relevant quote I’ve seen in a minute: “I’m loving FAFO, but I didn’t FA, so why do I have to FO.” 🙌🏼

Started and finished a book in less than 24 hours. 📖📚

If you know me and the lifelong difficulties I’ve had with reading and finishing books, you understand why this deserved its own post. Hoping to continue the momentum and maybe even reach my 2025 reading goal early!

How cute is my new #methadone plushie? 😍

Thank you, @clairezagorski.bsky.social 🥰 Get yours at PinPenMerger’s store on Etsy (www.etsy.com/listing/1846...)

Now… if I can figure out where my son hid BOTH of my naloxone plushies, they’ll make a perfect trio.

I like how sometimes folks from other countries just call us “The States” because dropping that word is the way things are here a lot of the time.

It’s disgusting to me that one can have “good” insurance coverage and still be charged hundreds of dollars for SIMPLE lab work. Make it make sense.

My fastest crocheted blanket yet! Started on the day my newest nephew was born, I was able to finish with washing, blocking, and pictures just 3 weeks later. I didn’t anticipate how much size the border would add, but it will bring comfort and warmth beyond the baby years! 🩶

I was shopping for a bath pillow, and … is that a cup of cherry tomatoes? 🍅

Interesting choice for a bathtime snack! 😂

yep, no one has any idea there's an overdose crisis. & Bill Clinton's several billion dollar anti-drug media campaign totally solved our drug problem....
The real fentanyl problem is that the media hasn’t done any fearmongering about it

Holiday cards are now in the mail! 📬 Sending them the day after Thanksgiving is a record for me, and times like these make me feel like this is it, I’m going to always be someone who is ahead now… but don’t worry, this is just a glitch and I’ll be procrastinating again in no time. 😅 Happy holidays!

Transitioning from what I refuse to call anything other than Twitter has been kinda hard, rebuilding from ground zero. If you are someone who posts on harm reduction, drug policy, substance use, etc., I probs want to follow you. Let’s connect. Know folks I should follow? Drop their @ here.
