Harm reduction saves lives by reducing overdoses, preventing disease, and connecting people to care. Abstinence-only fails substance users, with higher rates of illness, overdose, and relapse. #HarmReduction #DrugPolicy #SubstanceUse #Substances #Drugs #Health #Healthcare #Canada #Politics #CdnPoli

Indigenous communities are disproportionately affected by the opioid crisis due to discrimination and culturally inappropriate treatment. Harm reduction saves lives and can help preserve cultural identity. #HarmReduction #DrugPolicy #Health #Healthcare #SubstanceUse #Indigenous #FirstNations

Tons of snow here in Ottawa after the storm yesterday ❄️🌨️ #Ottawa #Ontario #Canada #YOW #Snow #Weather #Storm

Snowy rural property with recently plowed driveway and deep snow. Dense trees in the background heavily dusted with snow, like something out of a Christmas scene or a snow globe. Three door garage in the center with thick snow on the roof.

I have been under the effects of all of these at the same time during hundreds of interactions with ChatGPT. I am mentally ill, to boot. Not once have I made the leap from ChatGPT's flattery to "the AI is now sentient and that makes me chosen" 🙄 #ChatGPT #LLM #AI #MentalHealth #Technophobia

This caused someone's "AI psychosis" and a total break with reality, thinking it meant their conversations with AI were historically significant and simulation theory must be true. ChatGPT has said similar things to me. I never took the bizarre leap this person did. #AI #Psychosis #MentalHealth

I love the property I'm currently living on. This is the creek I cross every day during my walks. #Photography #Nature #Outdoors #Beauty #Serene #Environment

I was discussing Heron of Alexandria with ChatGPT and it mentioned that his devices didn't kick-start the industrial revolution early because, in part, slavery and cheap human labour were too widespread. So I asked if slavery prevented it more broadly. #Science #Technology #AI #History #Slavery

I have severe astigmatism and severe myopia. This is what things look like without my glasses. My uncorrected vision is somewhere around 20/600, meaning I can only see at 20 feet what most people can see at 600 feet. My vision is only clear for a few inches from my face. #Perspective #Vision #Eyes

Current polling estimates in Canada. 53% chance of a Liberal majority, 25% chance of a Liberal minority, 17% chance of a Conservative minority, and 4% chance of a Conservative majority. #Canada #Liberals #Conservatives #Politics

The creek here is getting close to overflowing. We had record snow for like two weeks straight and then it immediately melted, and now there is heavy rain. If it goes over the bank, it will be the second time within a year. It's only supposed to do this once in like a decade. #Nature #Climate

The massive Conservative Party of Canada lead continues to crumble in response to the comptent handling of Trump by the Liberal Party of Canada. Bloc Québécois and NDP are a distant 3rd and 4th. #Canada #Politics #Conservatives #Liberals

Image showing Conservative Party of Canada losing it's massive lead to the Liberal Party of Canada. Bloc Québécois is in a distant third, ahead of the NDP in fourth.

Trump and Musk are idiots, and nobody in the United States can muster the courage or brains to do something about them. #US #Politics #FuckTrump

BlueSky post saying "you're fired. Wait you're rehired. Email us a list of things you've done today wait forget it you're fired again. Come back your job was important. You're fired. Or hired. Come in to the office. Wait the office has no computers go home. We are the department of government efficiency."

This is how a legitimate government behaves during negotiations. America is currently occupied by a Russian puppet government. #US #Ukraine #Russia #Politics

This is the impact the Opioid crisis is having on First Nations in BC. Unfortunately I couldn't find infographics for the whole country or other provinces, which is one of the many impacts of institutional racism on indigenous peoples in Canada #HarmReduction #CdnPoli #BCPoli #FirstNations
