It’s never a good time to cut funding #tuberculosis research, but this moment, when cases are rising right here in Massachusetts, when we’re so close to breakthroughs that could help us #EndTB faster, is a particularly bad time: www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/15/m...

In Chapter 9 of #EverythingIsTuberculosis , we dive into the effect of stigma on TB, but also on many other illnesses. Share your thoughts with #TBReaders or in replies!

Stephanie Nolen reporting that 1,200,000 children will die because of this decision. Unconscionable.

Play a game with me to celebrate the release of #EverythingIsTuberculosis! Instructions are simple: - Open up the Wikipedia article on Everything (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everyth...) - Try to navigate to the Tuberculosis article by clicking links in articles. Try for the shortest path - That’s it!

This is the middle of the story. We have to fight for a better end.

In case you, like me, are a high-anxiety human who missed this piece of moderately reassuring news: Despite many broken things, the FDA *did* make a flu shot recommendation for this fall. www.cnn.com/2025/03/13/h...

BREAKING: A court overturned Ohio's ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth. This is a critical victory for trans rights.

Really enjoyed this interview on CBS Evening News. www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2II...

we're not throwing trans people under the bus for any fucking reason. None. There are two sides: the one that throws people under buses and the side that does not. Choose which one you are on.

My copy of everything is tuberculosis is out for delivery and I am struck with gratitude and sadness - my child has flu a right now, we have Medicaid, I have money to buy OTC medicine, we are just 3 miles from the ER, but there are so many children worldwide that cannot get care. #tbfighters

USAID doesn't work without workers! At least 1,600 staff were fired, further gutting one of the most crucial agencies for global health funding: apnews.com/article/usai... Join us at 3ET/12PT for a group "call your reps" session to say NO to these cuts! calendar.app.google/Y8tsoGzq5jps... #TBSky

After that plane literally flipped upside down after smashing into the runway and 100% of people survived, I hope every person who ever said “what’s even the point of seatbelts on a plane” feels like a real doof.

Shout out to the nice brigade for keeping the P4A ending in .69
