We'll still celebrate the holidays...no one is taking that away from us. It'll just be different than normal. So let's chat about that. (2/13)
SEX, DRUGS & SANTA CLAUS
It's Friday, March 278th, 2020, and this is the longest thread we've ever written. Let that sink in.
So, we need to talk about how we're going to spend our holidays. Before we get into it, let's pause to appreciate being able to have this talk. (1/13)
We'll still celebrate the holidays...no one is taking that away from us. It'll just be different than normal. So let's chat about that. (2/13)
So, why not say DO NOT GATHER WITH ANYONE & be done with it? Because experience tells us it doesn't work. Look at the ill-fated "Just Say No!" campaigns of the 80s-90s. (4/13)
In our approaches to sexual health or substance use, our goal isn’t to simply tell you not to do something and then call it a day. It’s to provide you with the best information available so that you can make safer choices. (5/13)
We know some of you may choose to gather w/family from outside your household & some of you may travel. Don't do that. (6/13)
And please consider those who may be at higher risk in your family and make good choices to protect them. (7/13)
Well, to be fair, the speed limit on the 417 is 100km/h, but that doesn't mean it's safe (or wise) to drive that fast in a blizzard. The actions we take must always be (8/13)
Right now, it's not safe to gather with people who live outside of your household. But the holidays aren't cancelled, far from it! (9/13)
We know. This sucks. None of us want to be in this boat, but here we are. Speaking of boats, ever heard the phrase "steady as she goes"? It's an old nautical term, an order given to keep the (10/13)
It's nautical harm reduction: knowing that a perfectly stable ship isn't possible during rough times. But stability is important, (11/13)

Ok so there’s a conspiracy theory going around that this woman was faking her injury with an onion.
This is likely false. Onions are a folk remedy for pepper spray.
The theory, which has some merit, is that since onions make you cry, it helps flush the irritants from your eyes with natural tears.
However, this is not recommended as a treatment for pepper spray and is ultimately not very effective.
Pepper spray, tear gas, mace, CN, HC, and other agents are best removed with a flush of water or, if you have the proper mixture, saline. Nothing else.
We do not do chemistry in our eyeballs. We are not putting chemicals in our eyes. We are not putting produce in our eyes. We are removing the chemicals with safe, neutral water.

Wait, so Elizabeth from Knoxville, who claims she was maced after storming the Capitol, was dabbing her eyes with an onion towel? pic.twitter.com/99UvDcS0Rj

This is incredibly sad and disturbing.
Two women were killed last night by this man.
He was released last month after a burglary arrest.
(1/x)
According to the article he has a record of:
+ 2 counts of voluntary manslaughter
+ possession of a stolen vehicle
+ leaving the scene of an accident
+ burglary
+ driving while under the influence of alcohol and drugs
(2/x)
There is a question as to who is responsible here, beyond the suspect.
Apparently he was released on 12/23 for another crime.
There is an algorithm which makes suggestions, which judges and the DA office use as inputs.

Here is our DA's response:
It is my impression that the balance of justice is off-kilter in SF right now.
Feels like career criminals can act with virtually no consequences, until someone gets killed.
The "broken windows" theory is feeling truer and truer to me.

Is Boudin responsible for the two women killed by parole?
— Lou B (@LuigiCPA) January 1, 2021
Troy M was booked last night for stealing a car, second degree burglary, felon in possession of a firearm, large capacity magazine, meth, and voluntary manslaughter.
Boudin let the parole go as recently as Dec 23 (1/3)
Here is our DA's response:
We will make changes to ensure that people on parole receive the supervision and structure needed from parole to prevent this kind of tragedy from recurring.
