The hardest part of working in harm reduction isn't the patients, it's the resources, says researcher Emilio Flores:
Lord when I die please make sure all communications refer to me exclusively by the crime I'm most recently alleged to have committed.

the WH has “urged” Israel to “protect civilians in Gaza” Oct 11, Oct 16, Oct 29, Nov 3, Nov 10, Nov 29, Dec 6, Dec 12, Dec 14, & Dec 17 and yet the pace of killing has not decreased at all. One wonders: Is the purpose of these “urging” to mitigate harm or cover their ass PR-wise?

Have you seen our ad in the @nytimes?
In Gaza, no place is safe.
The bombing doesn't stop and there's barely any food or clean water.
End this humanitarian catastrophe.

10 simple ways to improve your health
🏥📈
1. Drink 2L of tap water every hour
2. Sleep from 1am-2am (optimal moon usage for brain neurons)
3. Turn on your microwave all day, the brain needs these waves
4. Stare directly into the sun for 2 hours a day (helps stimulate eye neurons)
5. Add microplastic powder to each meal
6. Avoid eating anything that naturally grows in the ground
7. Get deep tissue, fully nude massages from your neighbors (helps with muscle neurons)
8. Stretch for 8 hours a day to improve flexibility
9. Take up smoking, your lungs are most likely on autopilot and need a stimulation for their neurons
10. Ask your mom to make a doctors appointment for you at least once a year, if you’re too scared to call yourself. Annual checkups are important for bodily neurons

The medical staff of Al-Shifa Hospital delayed one of the most powerful armies in the world without weapons. And they sealed the tunnels with unbreakable cement while taking care of hundreds of patients. They are truly remarkable.
ALT The medical staff of Shifa Hospital delayed the IDF for 3 days and cooperated with Hamas during this time they disappeared evidence, including sealing tunnels with cement and ceramics so that they would not reveal the tunnels' openings.

We denounce the death warrant of civilians trapped in Al-Shifa hospital signed by the Israeli military. #Gaza

The most we can hope for from Ivy Leagues and tenured professors is a conference 20 years from now in Charlottesville titled 'Post-Gaza Genocide Arab Literature: The Decolonial Poetics of Loss and Remembrance.'
Give me the Nobel while I live
Something to give me pride
Useless the prizes you met give
After tenure denied

Unlocking my account and leaving this here in reaction to the 14-1 vote to prohibit supervised injection sites in Philly. Unsanctioned supervised consumption sites exist. It can be done. Not all efforts for SCS in the U.S have to, or will be able to follow the Onpoint model.
