Medical bias is killing addiction patients — safe treatments exist but doctors refuse to offer them https://www.npr.org/2026/08/06/nx-s1-5845162/addiction-treatment-overdose-deaths Addiction treatments are safe, effective — and rarely offered to patients. That's because many doctors and nurses still view people with alcohol or drug addiction with suspicion and hostility. #wellness #addiction #healthcare

📣 If You Can Help Them, Don’t Hurt Them I’m on my way to volunteer at the New England Center and Home for Veterans here in Boston. ➡️ It’s a reminder that when we see someone who may be experiencing homelessness, mental health challenges, or active addiction, we’re seeing a human being. They could be a veteran, someone’s father, mother, son, daughter, grandparent, or loved one — someone who belongs to somebody. I’ve been homeless before. The only reason I was able to rebuild my life was because people believed in me and gave me hope. ➡️ If you’d like to support the NECHV, they always welcome volunteers, donations, and community engagement at https://nechv.org 🗣️ At the end of the day, we have more in common than not. If you can help someone, don’t hurt them. #Boston #veterans #addiction #recovery #ODAAT #housing #homelessness #mentalhealth #hope

Coupe du Monde : les pubs pour les paris sportifs sont omniprésentes. Mais avez-vous vu ou entendu ce clip de prévention sur les dégâts liés aux paris ? Non ? Normal : les régies publicitaires ont refusé à Addiction France de le diffuser. C’est une forme de censure — ripostons en le partageant à leur place. Plus d'infos sur les conséquences de ce type de ces publicités → https://addictions-france.org/actualites/coupe-du-monde-face-a-lomnipresence-des-paris-sportifs-addictions-france-alerte-14067/ #publicite #football #coupedumonde #parissportifs #addiction #antipub

All of this is reason to end the #oil #addiction API gravity tells us how light or heavy the oil is. • US WTI: ~40° API — light, golden, and easier to refine • Iran Light: ~34° API • Russia Urals: ~31° API • Venezuela: ~8–12° API — extremely heavy, like tar Oil quality plays a major role in global energy economics and politics — not just the amount of oil a country has. The lighter the crude, the cheaper and easier to refine into gasoline and diesel. Heavier crude requires more refining. #energy #crude #pimpsofthepumps #fossilfools

"Fracasse est un ouvrage collaboratif hybride fait de textes et d’images en tous genres. Il vise à questionner ouvertement les liens entre l’alcool et nos vies en prenant soin de s’épargner au maximum le jugement moral et les a priori portés sur ces questions. 24 contributeur·ices, artistes et amateur·ices ont participé à ce projet de plus de 60 pages qui contient également un fascicule de ressources pour mieux vivre avec ou sans alcool. Par la pluralité des expressions – BD, témoignages, poésies, illustrations, archives – qui y sont rassemblées, Fracasse tente avant tout d’ouvrir les voix et de sortir des schémas binaires et des positions de surplomb, pour se sentir un peu mieux, peut-être." Un grand merci à @chdarling@mastodon.social, @lisiere@mastodon.social et Max Cahun d'avoir initié ce projet que je suis extrêmement content de pouvoir diffuser avec la BIM et dont la lecture m'a vivement enthousiasmé ! #fanzine #alcool #addiction #rdr

Next week we'll be recording an episode asking what is #addiction with Hanna Pickard from Johns Hopkins University, author of "What Would You Do Alone in a Cage with Nothing But Cocaine? A Philosophy of Addiction." Got a question about whether addiction is a brain disease, a problem of character, or both (or neither)? Let us know below, and we may ask yours on the show!

The European Commission told TikTok to “change several key features, including disabling infinite scrolling, setting strict screen time breaks and changing its recommender systems. The demand follows the Commission's declaration that TikTok’s design is addictive to users.” Now do the same for the US services! https://www.politico.eu/article/tiktok-meta-facebook-instagram-brussels-kill-infinite-scrolling/ #tech #eutech #tiktok #socialmedia #addiction #politics

Someone sent me this Hansard record of the MP moral panic about Space invaders from 1981 “the increasingly harmful effects on young people of addiction to "space invader" machines. Since then, I have seen reports from all over the country of young people becoming so addicted to these machines that they resort to theft, blackmail and vice to obtain money to satisfy their addiction.” https://hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/1981-05-20/debates/f983574e-4775-427c-a6de-7448e56f49ad/ControlOfSpaceInvadersAndOtherElectronicGames #gaming #onlinesafety #addiction
