Valuable thread. His comments on the hyperlocality of homelessness and the mirage of "solving homelessness" that criminalization and encampment clearing provide.
In Evidence-based practice, we use ‘evidence’ instead of ‘proof’ to emphasize evidence isn't the same as proof: it can weak and unconvincing or so strong no one doubts its correctness. EBP is the conscientious use of current best evidence in decision-making about patient care.

Directing a graduate program is not always pure joy.
But some days, like today, I get the chance to work with my generous and accomplished colleagues and my ambitious and brilliant students.
On those days, like today, I am deeply grateful and humbled.

You think 9 years in a Russian prison for cannabis possession is nuts?
Wait until you hear about the guy who got a life sentence in Mississippi for possession of 2 ounces of marijuana.

This infuriates me. We have Canadian members of our monthly wine club and it is next to impossible to have the rest of the group taste the wines they consume on a regular basis.

To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It’s based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives.

It’s been 7 months of not being able to take a salary. Working hard to stay afloat. To feed more families. To pay above fair wages to our lovely team. To continue rebuilding homes and empowering our community at our non-profit. – at Breñas, Puerto Rico
