Wrote this piece for @newrepublic.com with Professor Brandon Marshall about how the overdose crisis is driven by poverty and how harm reduction measures get the blame for larger structural problems they aren't designed to fix. We need economic populism and economic justice.
Collective members Professor Brandon Marshall and Abdullah Shihipar write about viewing the overdose crisis as one driven by material suffering and explain that pursuing economic justice can have a real impact in reducing overdose deaths.

The Populist Approach to the Opioid Crisis Can Save Millions of Lives
The overdose epidemic is often framed as a public health concern. But what if we treated it as an economic crisis, which policy can alleviate?

Advent is all about Grace. We wait for God to do what God wants, when God wants it, and how God wants it done. The collects for Advent in the BCP are good examples of the theme of Grace in Advent (the actual word is used in three of them.)

After a year building noise and another of anti social noise from ‘DIY’ which I suspect is actually a business, I finally saved up enough for some noise cancelling headphones.
I take them off and…things pause? This is both…very handy and cool and also… I feel very old 🤣

I am still hunting for the tiny deer stag! Perhaps you brain would like a pause, and to look for it, too?
My mental health declined pretty badly last wk but some of you asked for more photos like the hunt-the-tiny-owl one I made & I wanted to try to make an advent calendar so:some lovely things that fell off trees & this time a tiny deer stag to find.
Do let me know if you enjoy this & I'll make more 🦌

Not sure what the fuss is about the additional tax on houses worth more than £2 million.
Surely their owners can just cut down their spending on avocados and lattes, as is so often suggested to those attempting to get on the housing ladder 😉

It's such a bizarre framing. Labour MPs think taking 450k kids out of poverty is putting the country first! That's why they wanted it to happen! It's not because they personally benefit.
Headline on The World at One just now:
"Sir Keir Starmer has denied putting the Labour Party before the country by ending the two-child benefit cap".
Can we please go back to reporting the actual news, not someone's partisan take on it?

This is not having nearly as much coverage as it should and, yes, other systems exist, but this is a fundamental part of English and Welsh criminal law and has been for 800 years, and we shouldn’t do away with such things without a massive public debate.
Can't believe they're going to end trial by jury. It's one of our most fundamental rights. Literally Magna Carta stuff.

Survived driving the car on my own.
I didn’t get the memo about not opening the windows when it’s cold, though, so today was also the day I learnt out how to re-seat the passenger side glass in its cradle before I rolled it back up! Thankfully none of the components seemed to be damaged.
