You really have to read both of @kwardvancouver.bsky.social’s skeet’s to get how fucked up this is. I’ll just put the headlines side by side.
Displacement and evictions are forms of violence. They result in very observable harms including death and irreparable injury.

People who use drugs are far less likely to access sites when police are seen or suspected nearby.
These sites rely on being low-barrier and trusted. Allowing that line to blur will deter access and result in delays in overdose response and engagement in care.

From a community perspective, the evidence on SCS shows they:
-reduce utilization of emergency services
-reduce publicly discarded drug use equipment
-reduce public drug consumption

#Tallinn city 🇪🇪 is a rare and beautiful combination of history, architecture, and way too many ways to spend money.

Rainy day in #Helsinki means a trip to the beautiful Central Library Oodi.
I fucking love libraries and this library is stunning—from the architecture to the amazing services available to the public. So glad I got a chance to visit.

Heading to #Finland for the International Council of Nurses #ICN2025 Congress to talk about why #HarmReduction should be woven throughout nursing curricula.
Due to the break in my schedule, anticipate a higher than normal volume of drug policy, tourism, and general shit posting.

Fentanyl is a molecule, it does not compel people to use it and if it suddenly disappeared from the unregulated drug supply, people would still use drugs.
Interdiction is a game of whack-a-mole: fix your gaze on fentanyl too long, then nitazenes arrive.

Deprescribing, forced tapering, drug seizures, involuntary “care”, and all the other manifestations of criminalization—does not stop people from using drugs.
But it does lead to drug supply volatility, increase risk for harm, and death.

“Xylazine is for animals, but chances are that it’s laced into the street drugs where you live–and it can cost users their memories, limbs and lives. How did it come to Canada, and what’s being done about it?”
It is true, the doubling of xylazine’s presence in opioid samples should have us worried.

Nearly half of all drug poisoning deaths occurred inside a private residence.
There are no “others” in this emergency, just us.
When we subscribe to the narrative that drug poisonings only affect certain individuals, then we become complacent. It is a dehumanization tactic.
