The holiday season is upon us, and for many people that means a lot of opportunities to drink and exposure to drinking. I talked to NPR Life Kit about myths and misinformation about alcohol and hangovers, and revealed all of my most advanced, secret toxicologist tricks to get rid of those hangovers.
before those nonperishables are banned because they are UPFs
This is exactly what folks in the US have to deal with when their drug of choice is NOT regulated. eg heroin, cocaine.
"Methanol is sometimes added to mixed drinks at disreputable bars as a cheaper alternative to ethanol, but can cause severe poisoning or death. It is also a byproduct of poorly distilled homebrew liquor, and could have found its way into bar drinks inadvertently."

Substance Use Stigma/Harm Reduction: Undoing Drugs by @maiasz.bsky.social Maia Szalavitz
my cat is TERRIFIED of the outdoors - I have tried to take him out and he immediately finds a place to hide and he mews in distress. Well, I tried it twice and then respected his wishes!
my feed is full of NYTs headlines, I have to scroll down for days, to find my folks! I am still on the other because of this.
don't worry, its all on camera!
stigma and ignorance
Great to get pics of our Mass Overdose Helpline billboard up right above Pittsfield’s very well attended Halloween parade! Our line reversed 2 overdoses within 1 mile from here this year #HarmReduction
Billboards are being installed in Berkshire County, MA for our helpline! These are funded through the HEALing Communities study and I responded to overdoses in this neighborhood in Pittsfield many times in the past. Hope it encourages someone to call!
@stephenhrnrp.bsky.social Thank you! My students are already emailing me to say how wonderful it was to have heard the podcast www.thisamericanlife.org/809/the-call and then gotten to meet you. You have once again inspired folks to pursue #harmreduction and treat people who use substances w dignity

slow down and believe in yourself
Hey Pennsylvania! 2 state senators are planning to introduce legislation to require involuntary treatment for anyone who receives naloxone. Please let them know this is ignorant & wasteful, and locking their own constituents up against their will for having medical emergencies isn’t good governance.
