DULF is free. This landmark ruling could alter drug policy in Canada. There's still room for an appeal, but as of today, a judge has found a section of Canada's Controlled Drugs and Substances Act unconstitutional. Parliament was given six months to respond. www.script.health/article/dulf...

Compassion clubs save lives and I’m glad BC Supreme Court justice Catherine Murray agrees! Amidst the many ongoing battles waged as the toxic drug crisis persists, this is a huge win. WE🖤DULF

i'm in BC Supreme Court waiting to hear the ruling from Justice Catherine Murray, who is making findings: a non-medicalized safe supply program is desperately needed, the DULF compassion club didn't cause any harm, and there wasn't any licit supply for DULF to access

Sometimes a drug trip is a profound experience where you realize that you’ve been carrying pain in your heart for years, that you can forgive yourself. Other times you come up with a concept called “gay money” (money that’s gay) and you text your friend “gay money” days later. Both are healing. ❤️‍🩹

I live for that. I live for the incredibly diverse spectrum of people in my life with centuries of combined experience who argue and riff off and care for each other. genAI is just a house of mirrors, sound and fury signifying nothing. I find that repellent.

An “administrative error” will leave British Columbians with $1.5B less & LNG corporations with that much more. That's more than the budget of BC’s cancelled affordable housing program. Losing housing is a budgetary necessity, yet losing $1.5B to LNG corporations is just an error?

Remember as your eyes burn from the smoke today, Ken Sim and ABC voted to allow fracked gas in new builds, cancelled $8 million in climate retrofit grants; voted against funding for cooling kits for people in the Downtown Eastside; and got rid of the climate justice charter.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

ProPublica spoke to dozens of people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words. ➡️ This is what they wrote: propub.li/4veRIqA
Handwritten notecard. Prompt at the top asks: What object was most devastating for you to lose, and how have you been coping? Answer below: Dentures. Were thrown away and coping isn't somthing I can do. It’s made me feel ugly, unworthy, can’t go get a job with no teeth. So how can get off the streets until another pair can be made?

something to remember: fascism relies on ignorance. that's why it oppresses critical and independent thought. (it's also one of many reasons why fascists hate communists/socialists so much: communism/socialism hinges on ideas and intellectualism.) THE MORE YOU KNOW, BABY!
