All that ketamine and this dude still doesnt believe in introspection lmao

Today in 1954 at Bikini Atoll, the United States conducted Castle ROMEO, its third-largest thermonuclear weapon test (11 Megatons, a proof test of the Mark-17 bomb) and the first detonated on a barge (inside the March 1 BRAVO crater, because testing was rapidly vaporizing the atoll’s coral islands).

This is only gonna lead to more death on the streets… just like what happened when all the sites closed in Toronto We need *more* #HarmReduction services, not less! They don’t just save lives, they also save the healthcare system a ton of money!! (Don’t conservatives claim to want to save cash?🤬🫠)

the city stopped using both the squatter and the obstruction classifications from July 2023 to August 2024 recording the vast majority of complaints as Open Drug Use, an increase that was attributed to decriminalization a claim that was never investigated Eby caved #bcpoli

@charlesrussell.bsky.social reporting yet another wild, wild story about Alberta politics, this time another chapter in the recovery facilities saga, where various contractors allege they're owed millions thetyee.ca/News/2026/03...

A psychologist designed this program around the unique needs of children released from occupation detention, and partnered with me to make sure this special program happens. EIGHT days left!!!! Support is for materials & facilitation. Let's do it: chuffed.org/project/hmg

this is the worst rendition of "No Exit" i've ever seen

an entire hour of these people talking can you imagine no don't imagine that

oooh some #drughist altho, "poppy" not "opium" would be a more accurate title opium (the sap cut from papaver somniferum) is the latex, normally constituting morphine, codeine & theibane australian poppy plants only produce thebaine & in industrial licit agriculture poppy stock is used

@leahgazan.bsky.social is one of the few federal NDP parliamentarians left standing. She believes the party needs to embrace "unapologetic socialism" in order to rebuild. I spoke with Gazan for our latest @breachmedia.ca podcast breachmedia.ca/this-ndp-mp-...

*Ibn Khaldun intensifies*

reading thru records/reports from thailand's early crop substitution (now called "alternative development") & rehabilitation programme it's sort of strange to see someone be absolutely shocked that the prohibition of opium led to heroin use (circa 1972)

one of the things ive been thinking about as part of my dissertation is the transformation/limitations of the "review" (particularly in health) as a methodology in the digital age when so much historic knowledge remains undigitized, especially internationally LLMs would seem particularly vulnerable

Every candidate in NDP leadership race comes in third

Doug Ford launches transparent effort to end transparency

Interesting article about stimulant replacement therapy, similar to medications for opioid use disorders. Prescribing ADHD meds is one option and has been successful in Canada. #harmreduction #addiction #stimulants www.talkingdrugs.org/stimulant-re...

The Carney government is also cutting prison librarians to save…$2.5m. This is now a theme with the federal budget - it’s not about cost savings, it’s about destroying access to knowledge and information. #Cdnhist

“Librarians, criminology professors, criminal reform organizations and countless others have argued that if the government has concerns about public safety, access to reading and reading materials for the incarcerated should be a priority.” buttondown.com/leftcoastdis... #CdnHist #cdnpoli

not since the jacobins has a liberal government invested so much power in the ministry of public safety C-12 also gives powers to the Minister of Public Safety to criminalize substances

"arms up" would've been a more accurate campaign slogan

every week this government announces a new bill expanding police unaccountability, militarization & the degradation of the civil liberties of residents of canada (which incl refugees and immigrants) its pretty clear who the government is listening to & it's not every day people

Logan was an extraordinary writer. this is a terrible loss rip.

finally a policy eby and the bc ndp can be proud of sort of like when harper got rid of the penny

Having similarly dealt with far-right characters I’ve reported on engage in stalking / harassing behaviour to the point where lawyers needed to be engaged, I can say Canada’s laws are completely insufficient to deal with these problems and I have zero trust in the legal system to protect journalists

Thanks @cajournalists.bsky.social for this message of support ❤️ (Fun fact, CAJ is almost entirely fuelled by volunteers and - disclosure! - I’m one of them)

This International Women's Day, please remember that trans women are women. Full stop. No qualifiers.

happy international women's day to all of the carefree women who do as they please & are unapologetically themselves every single day

for international women's day, i bring these articles written by addiction science journalist and the editor of the Addiction Research Foundation's 1970-80s publication "The Journal" from International Womens Year 1975, Anne MacLennan 1/ #histsci #histsky #Drugsky #HarmReduction

No supervised consumption sites? Then every alley, park, and bathroom becomes one! It's just that simple.

like the iranian response is currently quite constrained, but that doesn't mean it's going to keep being like that

wait why didn't anyone say this could backfire?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

ok 5 min w/o the brace was fine, but being forced to wait at the counter (and therefore put weight on my knee) at the pharmacy did me in 😅

first day walking outside without a brace! wish me luck!

i would frankly rather be rejected from a conference, in the case where ive submitted a theory paper, then be asked to submit a poster like i get the idea is to be nice and inclusive, but in practice you're just making me do the rejection for you

if theres anything ive learned from hours of listening to know your enemy, its that conservatives (with limited exceptions) have not had anything worth reading for like 20+ years

OH MY G-D

I know the link banner is really cutesy, but this is a serious, solemn project. Children who experienced detention in occupation prison face extreme, enduring trauma. This program will try to help their mental health & reintegration into society. Chip in: chuffed.org/project/hmg

The Abusable Past published a microsyllabus on Radical Iranian Theory and Praxis last year that seems more relevant than ever. Please check it out and share widely: abusablepast.org/radical-iran...

It could be a couple things 1) Possibly tactical to save powder for later 2) If you look at Houthi discourse for the last 1-2 months, they haven't been hot about getting into a conflict for Iran. Before 1-2 weeks ago, they were still stressing Gaza. 3) They're in a tricky spot w/ the Saudis.

Some of yall are getting a little too comfortable with your antisemitism that yall are trying to cloak around being anti-impearlist.

Each one of those three missiles costs 33% more than the annual budget of the national park where I work.
