FYI - I am on the other blue app at the same handle and will try and post more. But I will not be leaving Twitter. For over 14 years, I shared thoughts, musings, and extensive threads that I've been told have impacted many. I don't want to lose them. They'll be here.

Our harm reduction family continues to experience tremendous loss. I am deeply saddened by the loss of Naomi Burke-Shyne and Peter Krykant. Both made a tremendous impact in the short time they were with us. I wish we had more time with both. May we be their continuation.

Absolutely infuriating. These cuts are putting our most vulnerable at risk while enriching those who need it the least. There's a reason why it happened in the middle of the night.
