YERP! (Your Emergency Response Platform) at the Florida Harm Reduction Conference. It’s an open source system that makes spaces like bathrooms overdose-resistant. Not just for saving lives but also for building autonomy, consent, privacy and trust. yerp.io

Come learn about how a handful of consumer electronics+open source code can turn a bathroom into a consent-informed, privacy-protecting, accessibility-accommodating, overdose alert-equipped* hub of semi-automated bathroom communism ❤️😎🖤 (*Also, 80s boombox-compatible)

I co-sign this Tweet 8 share to amplify. I’ve been part of creating YERP, serving as a healthcare consultant with lived experience. @flufftronix has more than acted with due diligence & made undeserved allowances.
You know what, I think I just need to rip the band-aid off on this: I’m suing SOSRCO and their “Chief Recovery Officer” John Burns for $3517 in unpaid contracting fees. Including ~$400 in unreimbursed travel expenses and $800 which was to go to PWUD as consultants.

Saw some cool projects being worked on, AI to assist in finding local donation recipients to removing barriers from illness diagnosis+advisement for isolated communities. Couldn’t care less about the biz aspects, sorry, but great to see ppl at work on helpful, empowering tech!

If anyone has a potentially useful idea for #phillycodefest this weekend and wants someone else for your team: reach out! OR, if anyone would like to build a bot that forecasts what Philly street trash piles of the future might look like, *also* get in touch 🤣

Our city and nations first overdose prevention centers are organizing to unionize. Unionizing is harm reduction!
This morning, with a super majority of support from @_OnPointNYC workers, we are demanding voluntary recognition of our union.

In honour of @OnPointUnited's vote to unionize, we are releasing our bonus episode w/ one of organizers @acabdotgov on labour politics & why "the labour movement needs to understand harm reduction as a workforce to be organized on an industrial scale" podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…
This is like if Bernie Madoff made a hard pivot into full time cheating at bingo
Twitter experienced slight degradation of service today from an old 3rd party tool used to block accounts that had no rate limit (sigh). Should be fixed now.
