Imagine equating that paragraph with saying “I have a husband” or “my wife’s name is Liz”.
There was only one teacher I had growing up who never mentioned anything about her family. We all thought she was a crazy cat lady, and she got treated with a lot more shenanigans than most other teachers did.
Teachers shouldn’t be putting their personal drama on display and transferring their stress to their students, but being disallowed from sharing anything about the existence of their family as you seem to suggest is the proper course of action here is asinine.

Ah yes, the ol’ I don’t believe in the globe because a few things line up with this map which I also don’t believe in argument.
The best defense of the bi-polar model is…the monopole map?

As a parent, I want kids to have access to ask difficult questions, or things they don’t feel comfortable about with their parents, to other qualified people they trust.
I hope my kids feel comfortable enough to ask me anything once they get to an age when questions start to come up. But if they don’t, I want there to be someone trustworthy, and accessible to them.

Goodbye Russ.
Hello draft picks that we desperately needed. Let’s not screw this up, Schneids. As soon as a decent coach becomes available, let’s let Pete ride into the sunset too plz.
Here’s to being garbage for a few years.

If you read what I said, I’m not completely in favour of just handing out clean needles and pretending you’re solving things. That should be a minor part of tackling the broader issue.
A quick google shows the WHO reported 1.3M deaths annually from dirty needles, costing $535M/yr. That report is from 1999, so I would expect that both deaths and costs are actually higher today.
To me, a higher priority for today is probably fentanyl detection. Regardless, I would prefer to see a more fulsome approach - and better funding and education - to addictions, homelessness, and mental health issues.

And in Asia as well, Azerbaijan a few years back and currently in Myanmar.
I’m not sure how that devalues peoples’ outrage over what’s happening in Ukraine.
Especially in the west, as Russia has been the boogeyman for the last 75 years. The media adds some sensationalism, but this is a world superpower undertaking forceful expansion of a sovereign country. It’s #kindofabigdeal

Yea, drugs should be legalized. No, generally, people shouldn’t do drugs. People especially shouldn’t do hard drugs.
But legalizing and providing clean methods for existing addicts isn’t going to increase the number of addicts. It’s going to reduce the number of adverse side effects of drug use from unsanitary paraphernalia. That’s all.
People can’t get help if they are dead. Clean needles, fentanyl testing kits, whatever else is needed. Drug addiction doesn’t need to be a death sentence.
The one actual downside of providing abundant clean needles without installing safe injection sites is that it increases the amount of discarded needles in the community, which is an actual problem.
Public health measures should go beyond helping people not kill themselves with drugs to helping people stop doing drugs.

Certainly not representative of:

- their old women “I hope you carry sunflower seeds in your pockets so something good will come of your deaths”
- their border guards “go fuck yourself”
