I'm humbled by -- and grateful for -- the support Ismail and I received from the team and community with this news. And honestly, I couldn't ask for a better partner in this evolution of the work than Izzy.
Just listened to the MK Ultra ep (I'm a back cataloguer when I love a pod) and thought "I should get these folx to PS2025." This morning you asked us to invite you to our conferences. Perfect!
If you're interested, let's chat. I think it would be a blast.

Congrats to these authors for coining "the Musk illusion," forcing countless future researchers to the thesaurus as they uncover modern fallacies and delusions.

I just had to go on that other platform to monitor some breaking news, and listen, I know you've been telling me it's gotten real bad, but how does one prepare oneself for that? It's a mess, y'all.
My colleagues see gaps between established scientific knowledge and community wisdom, then engage in years-long disputes with the FDA to remove barriers to research. From now on, research on cannabis' potential benefits will be allowed to mirror real-world use...creating real-world useful data.
Clive I see you're a novelist. There are so many garbage novels, tho, why try again?
I believe it's a worthwhile project, no matter how many times we try.
1. Public education & comms & co-creating a post-prohibition world
2. Training the dogs to ride in their sidecar.
a. At work it's strategies to support safe, equitable access to community-based psychedelic care (aka "the underground")
3. Silo (always a sucker for post-apocalypse sci-fi)

There are some 40+ federal death row inmates. Biden should commute their executions before he leaves.
I'll be spending the next 6 days helping people cure their ballots...how about you?

What's your preferred non-judgemental term to describe drug use by people in an undesired relationship with drugs, née "misuse" or "abuse," #HarmReduction & #DrugSky?
Looking for something person-centered that captures dependence, addiction, and high-risk use for our comms guidelines. 🙏
Trans folx, what do you wish your parents would have said to you in these moments? What do you wish your cis friends parents would have said to them?
I've had a couple convos with parents grasping for how to talk to their kids today, so if you have a little energy to answer, they'll appreciate it.
For my non-contentious divorce, I wrote up the agreement and booked a 30m free consultation with a lawyer from my employee assistance program. Only paid for the filing fee.
DHS spent millions on surveillance of anarchists in Portland to "only amass a giant file of who's canceling whom on Twitter"
I take it back, maybe endless leftist infighting is good
“The availability of vast amounts of alcohol and controlled substances gave rise to the lack of control of the hormonal imperative,” this lawyer continued, “which inspired people to engage in intimate behavior that may or may not have been because they were financially remunerated.”
This sentence, tho. Lawyer, or word artist?

Got to announce some incredible news about MDMA-assisted therapy today! maps.org/2024/02/09/m...
Really great news for anyone living with trauma (i.e. everyone) + drugs in yer comics
A page from Dr. Strange #10, in which a PTSD-stricken fragment of the Doctor comes under psychedelic attack from Dr. Strange's friends.
A page from DS #10, in which the Doctor explains to his fragmented self that he believed it when it said it was too powerful and ruthless to defeat.
A page from DS #10, in which the Doctor explains that all that ruthless power was just another way of saying that war had stripped it of its humanity, of its compassion and empathy. So Doctor Strange decided not to fight it, but to heal it.
Beautiful full page image in which the Dr. describes his friend's experience healing combat PTSD with psychedelics.
Huge news lost in the shuffle yesterday - the US Vets Adm will start funding psychedelics research for PTSD! Which brings me to these incredible pages from @jedmackay.bsky.social + Pasqual Ferry + Heather Moore from Doctor Strange #10 (2023). I live with PTSD - these pages brought me to tears.
Very pro. If you're interested in a casual backgrounder, happy to chat.
Nailed it.
15 years in, TIL the most important drug facts of my career.
While I was gearing up to get annoyed, I thought "but wait, what's the scientific name for cocaine?" and immediately learned why I can't remember Methyl (1R,2R,3S,5S)-3-(benzoyloxy)-8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-2-carboxylate off the top of my head.
Ohhh it's a good thing I'm not your kids' auntie! I acknowledge that my primary job as an auntie is sending percussion instruments and teaching them how to curse well.
“As cannabis, MDMA, psilocybin, and other drugs inch closer to potential FDA approval as safe and effective treatments, yet another harm of the War on Drugs is revealed: decades of missed opportunity to reduce suffering among people living with debilitating conditions."
Ok so I seem to have forgotten how to social media. I think you start like this?
