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.

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.

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! 🩶

Thank you to each and every one of our speakers, to all who attended, and to everyone who was part of our conference planning committee this year! We look forward to doing it all again in 2025!

In addition, we heard about PA Groundhogs from Christopher Moraff and Dr. Ashish P. Thakrar, MD, MS, and we hosted an engaging local government panel with Stuart Fisk, Ben Talik, and Bethany Hallam.

We were thrilled to have @myharmreduction.bsky.social deliver the keynote address and to again have Dr. Joshua Lynch, DO, FACEP from MATTERS Network back this year.

Cohosted by the AHN Center for Inclusion Health, UPMC Addiction Medicine, and Highmark Wholecare, our topic this year was “Bridging the Harm Reduction Gap”, a nod to both the bridges of the 412 and @myharmreduction.bsky.social’s book, “The Harm Reduction Gap” (a must-read!).

Yesterday’s 2nd Annual Pittsburgh Addiction Medicine Conference was great!

An incredible evening with this diverse and passionate group of #harmreduction champions. Excited for tomorrow’s 2nd Annual Pittsburgh Addiction Medicine Conference: Bridging the Harm Reduction Gap. Amazing food, unmatched company, and inspiring conversations. Let’s keep building bridges! 🌟

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

Interesting choice for a bathtime snack! 😂

I’m elated that Samantha Hartle, BSN, RN, CARN, CRS (and soon to be FIAAN!) will be co-presenting at the International Nurses Society on Addiction’s 2025 conference! 💚 #IntNSA47 #IntNSA2025

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!
