May 11th, 1985: American activist Aubri Esters was born.
Esters was one of the most important early names in harm reduction advocating. The harm reduction movement emphasizes decreasing stigma and harm of various behaviors without requiring total abstinence--often in regards to drug use or sexual activity. Today, harm reduction is typically considered both the most effective way to address drug use, and the most dignified for the people it helps.
Esters herself was a drug user, in her own words, "a person who happened to use drugs". She benefitted from available services, notably methadone access (methadone relieves opioid cravings, allowing people with addiction to function). She saved many lives by carrying naloxone (Narcan, used to reverse the effects of opioids during an overdose).
Esters was a disabled trans woman. She was a drummer. She pioneered and fiercely advocated for people in her community, and changed the opinions of politicians on drug users.

when you grew up as a lonely uncool girl it will never stop haunting you by the way. you will meet a cool person at a bar or the train station or at a friend's party and you can wear your most stylish outfit and striking eye makeup and you will swear that they can see through all of the facade and see the lonely terribly insecure teenage girl you used to be who desperately wanted to connect and you will swear that they know that there is like an insurmountable gap between you. this will happen forever

Hey everyone, my name is Abdelmajed. I donโt usually talk much about myself, but today, I want to share a little piece of my story.
I was born and raised in Gaza, a place that has always been my home ๐ก. I grew up surrounded by my family, my friends, and the streets that I knew like the back of my hand. Life wasnโt always easy, but we had love, laughter, and dreams. I used to think that no matter what happened, home would always be here. But life has a way of changing things in ways we never expect.
Over the past months, everything I once knew has disappeared. The streets that were once filled with children playing are now silent. The houses that held so many memories are now just rubble. And the people I lovedโsome of them are gone forever. ๐
And I'm now waiting to be Vetted by @gazavetters ๐
