Happy #internationalwomensday
Reflections on patriarchy in paint, paper and pills.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

At City Hall to present on SIPP Project for London Drugs Forum. Safer inhalation pipe provision for people who use crack getting lots of overdue attention. Time for legislative reform! 😃 @lshtm.bsky.social @releasedrugs.bsky.social harmreductionjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

@cnn.com It was a deliberate Nazi salute… you’re welcome

I think about this Žižek moment at least once a week

Powerful closing #EHRC2024 plenary. Now the time for "strong language" to achieve, maintain & build #harmreduction with/for our communities. "No more hiding behind rhetoric of 'target' & 'vulnerable' populations". "Zero tolerance on poverty, zero tolerance on inequality, zero tolerance on stigma!"

What an amazing location for #EHRC2024. Such a pleasure to be here, present, and celebrate with Correlation correlation-net.org their 20 year anniversary. An honour to have been a member of their network. Thank you Eberhard and Katrin!

Lost my cool @ #EHRC2024 - bound to happen! Trigger point, the why of equipment provision below. What about to promote the health, wellbeing, dignity & human rights of PWUD!! Harm & disease discourse positions PWUD as risky 'other' to be managed & renders NSP vulnerable if HCV eliminatation achieved

I appaud @unodc.bsky.social for the needed focus on stimulant drugs #EHRC2024 but urge focus beyond BBV. A cynical view that this speaks more to communicable disease transmission concern among broader 'public' than the health & wellbeing of people who use stimulants. Respiratory conditions crucial.

Crack curious or full blown #harmreduction stimulant aficionado? Come to my talk today at #EHRC2024 on safe inhalation pipe provision!! Not in Warsaw? Contribute to debate & share here what you think about their prohibition under UK law. Fyi harmreductionjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

The wonderful Lynn Jefferys at #EHRC2024 speaking out for our community "we are your colleagues" and the crucial reminder, that to advance #harmreduction access & acceptability "integration means initiatives that are peer led"

@sarosip.bsky.social at #EHRC2024 on the fallacy of much 'drug-related violence' discourse:: "most of the crime is not drug related but is related to the system and how we are creating violence through policy" & on #harmreduction: "we don't want to speak about needles, but about people"

Empassioned speech from Lithuanian member of the European Parliament #EHRC2024 railing against the political rise of the far right: "we need to fight once again those who are fighting against harm reduction... against human rights'

Delighted to be at #EHRC2024 Courageous opening from former president Poland:"I signed a lot of very restrictive bills in drug policy.. I came to realise this was counter productive...we cannot repeat the stereotypes present in the public sphere..This restrictive drug policy is the road to nowhere"

Great to see this published the first of the outputs from the iHOST Project. Great collaborative work with colleagues across the UK incl. @jscottuob.bsky.social @niamhrelease.bsky.social @danlewer.bsky.social
