I think we should all RT this beautiful reworking of a familiar South African tune in honor of Elon Musk. Thank you @MarshSongs!

This is good.

@Oregonian Great job!

Feds seized 1.4 metric tons of liquid heroin from U-Haul truck stopped in lot of Tigard Motel 6 oregonlive.com/crime/2024/02/…

@PeteFerryman @fox12oregon Yikes! Glad no one got hurt.

120k #PGE customers without power as of 2pm. Trees are down across the city, including this one, which hit my house in SW #Portland this AM. We’ll have live storm coverage today on @fox12oregon

"If we never stop or reduce how many people enter a cycle of harmful substance use to begin with, we’ll forever be subject to the growth of this crisis and its tragic consequences." The necessity of prevention. My view @Oregonian. oregonlive.com/opinion/2024/0…

@DrScottHadland @NEJM Thank you for this thoughtful and reasonable analysis, Scott. It is hard to believe we are years into the crisis and the majority of people don’t recognize the dramatic change in the drug landscape and how it impacts youth. Your work will dramatically help to spread the word.

Out today: New analysis on teen overdoses in @NEJM Overdoses hit an all-time high in 2022, killing the equivalent of a high school classroom of teens each week across the US Overdoses now the 3rd leading cause of death in kids I care for these teens. Here's what's needed 🧵 1/

@hwinkler4real I loved hearing you speak last night. You are a bright light and your genuine positivity is refreshing . The world needs more people like you! Thank for making a stop in Portland!

What a thing to see in print ! Woowzer

@devin_effinger Congratulations! Stigma is a killer. Thank you for sharing your story.

Today I celebrate 10 years #sober. From IV heroin to pursuing a PhD. It all began with trauma: 6 months post-TBI, my best friend was murdered. 8 yrs, 4 totaled 🚗 , and 2 ODs later, I asked for help. Stigma keeps many quiet, but we’re dying out here. I share my story 2❌stigma.

@KayeSteinsapir The house in the cerulean sea

My fellow book lovers, I need to get lost in an engaging audiobook that won’t make me more depressed. I love memoirs. Some of my other favorites have been Demon Copperhead, Project Hail Mary, Remarkably Bright Creatures, Circe, Tom Lake. What should I listen to next?

@bmb1130 @KayeSteinsapir One of my favorite books!

@KayeSteinsapir Beneath the Scarlet Sky. Just finished it. True story. Excellent

@DrScottHadland @SongforCharlie You two are a Dynamic Duo! I'm proud of all that you are doing!

Drug overdoses & poisonings are the 3rd leading cause of death in US kids, killing more kids than cancer, infections, drowning A packed room here at #aap2023, where I’m endlessly inspired by the bravery & strong voice of friend & warrior, Laura Didier ❤️ Laura’s story of the loss of her son Zach to fentanyl overdose brought a room of hundreds of pediatricians to a standing ovation Laura set the stage for a 4-hour course in which we’re discussing strategies to prevent, identify, and manage opioid use & addiction among pediatricians Thinking about the hundreds of pediatricians here and the thousands of teens each cares for, I’m convinced Laura saved many lives today ❤️

@derekeb Love this! I'm sure you made that boy's day just by hearing him. ❤️

There’s a 4-ish “boy” here in the doctor’s office waiting area who is pretending to be a chicken. He’s flapping his “wings”, clucking and chicken scratching the carpet. He started clucking at me, and his mom apologized. “Not a problem”, I replied, “I speak chicken too!” 🐓

@mrhealthteacher Great for the maker, and the recipients! I love this!

My 14-year-old, a little nervous about his first day of high school, made cookies for his classmates.

@derekeb Absolutely beautiful! Enjoy your getaway!

I can’t ever get enough Sundance and Alpine Loop. The Utes were right: this place and Mount Timpanogos are sacred places.

@AJRBrothers So sorry for your loss. 💔

Rest in Peace Dad. Couldn’t have asked for a better Number 1 Fan.

@PeteFerryman That’s crazy— ouch!

This is crazy. #RedRocks

Drug overdoses now kill the equivalent of a high school classroom of teens every week in the US. We need to step up addiction & mental health treatment, offer naloxone & fentanyl test strips to keep youth safe. Thanks to @rosemaryCNN for covering this critical topic.

@DrScottHadland @CityOfBoston Love this! Glad to see you honored in this way!

Honored to share this special moment with my son (in all its 8-foot portrait glory!). 🥰 So appreciative to @CityOfBoston for Portraits of Pride & highlighting the hard work of our city’s LGBTQ+ advocates. Let’s keep working for progress! ❤️🌈

@GovTinaKotek Thank you to all involved in making this happen! This won't solve the problem, but it is an important step!

Opioid overdoses are preventable. Let’s make sure young people know how to keep themselves and others safe. I signed SB238 into law so school districts across Oregon will have the necessary tools to spread awareness and save lives.

@SchreiberEvan @News3LV @NapoliManagemen Congratulations, Evan! Best of luck on the move.

Goodbye, Portland. 🌲 Hello, Las Vegas. 😎 The Schreibers are on the move… Thrilled to announce that I’ve accepted an awesome offer as a News Anchor at @News3LV in Nevada. Best of all: I get to keep innovating and creating new ways to share breaking news at the #LiveDesk
