I'm learning so much from this lovely team of folks up in Campbell River. The north Island badly needs more support, yet their city is actively working against them. The City of CR is ok with anti-abortion protests, but shows with force when people are trying to keep their grown children alive. 🫠

This interview hits important points: Witnessed consumption will make safer supply inaccessible in rural communities. Indigenous populations will be disproportionately harmed. No experts were consulted. This is reactionary politics. Keep politics out of medicine. @josieosborne.bsky.social

The end of take-home safe supply programs in BC is devastating news. Witnessed options aren’t possible in almost every jurisdiction. This will result in deprescribing, forced tapering and sadly in deaths. Cowardly politicians caving to misinformation. #BCpoli #DrugSky www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The health minister says the "significant" change to end the take-home model will be difficult for some but is designed to reduce the criminal diversion of prescribed alternatives.

Autistic people can't have one place to be themselves with the support they need, Because people will worry "what happens when the support goes away?" and think burnout and trauma is the way to independence. And parents are forced to choose between no support, or ABA. It's honestly sick.

I was reminded tonight that ABA still exists, And I still can't believe the argument for ABA is either 1) Traumatize the autistic person so they deal with scary society "easier" 2) Make them as "independent" as possible so they can navigate society You know what reduces functioning? Trauma & PTSD

This is exactly the book we need right now. It reminds us that in a capitalist society, taking time to rest is an act of resistance & liberation. Being continually exhausted/unwell/overwhelmed makes is easier to manipulate. Rest is an act of community care. #booksky @smilesavenue.bsky.social 💜

"Communication pages like this are not just for people who absolutely can’t ever speak. They are for anyone, anywhere, who for whatever reason would be unable to say things like this in situations where they need to be able to say it." Communication skills can fluctuate. #actuallyautistic

We need more mainstream info about autistic joy & thriving looks like, rather than only focusing on the tougher parts. To do this, try to learn from advocates focused on the neurodiversity paradigm rather than professionals trained in the pathology paradigm. #actuallyautistic

Earlier this week we sent a letter to Island Health in response to their treatment of Dr. Wilder following her harm reduction advocacy work. If our health authority is more willing to take action based on politics than academic research then we are all in trouble. Our community deserves better. 🧵

Today, our gentle reminder that there isn't an 'astonishing' rise in autistic people. We've always been here. Most of us weren't counted in the figures, before, because they were looking for the young white boys who collect trains. They got better at finding us. Thanks for reading.

Yesterday I noticed an Instagram post in my feed from the White House, and saw that I was somehow following that account. Later in the day I heard from a friend that their account had automatically followed both Trump and Vance. Is this happening to other people too? What the hell.
