This morning, I stepped outside, took a deep breath of cold, early morning air, and realized that I have a secret.
The secret is this: the world is beautiful, and there are so many people in it who are filled with love and compassion.
I’m here, you’re here, we’re here.

I hope everyone knows that it's very easy for any social content platform, including Bluesky, to be a misery machine and that if you aren't intentional about it, they will absolutely decrease the positive impact you have on the world while making you less happy.

It's #WorldTBDay. Let's remember that even before recent threats to #Tuberculosis funding, there was a funding gap for #TBdiagnosis, #TBtreatment, and #TBresearch.
We must increase (not decrease) global health investments to fight this epidemic.

It's #WorldTBDay 2025, and #Danaher is still price gouging for TB-RIF and XDR-TB tests. Now, more than ever, corporations need to sell their tests and medicines at a fair price so we can finally #EndTB.
It's #WorldTBDay.
To ensure quick diagnosis and early treatment, WHO recommends the use of rapid molecular #tuberculosis (TB) tests as the initial diagnostic test for all persons with signs and symptoms of TB.

Humming along in an old church, the Internet Archive is more relevant than ever
The Trump administration's erasure of federal data has put the Internet Archive in the spotlight. The organization, with its small but mighty team, is working to help save the world's digital history.

The fact congressional Democrats have not hired three dozen D&D rules lawyers with oppositional defiant disorder and turned them loose on parliamentary procedure with the goal of maximum obstruction is such a fucking missed opportunity
I’m bringing this up because this is a simple procedural way to fuck with republicans even if they’re in the majority. Call them out of order, rise to a point of personal privilege, use the very procedural rules that organize their meetings to strangle them. It fucking works.
