Just received this photo from a friend of a warehouse in Kinshasa.

TB treatment is being interrupted in SO many patients around the world. What does that mean? (1/2)
Major breaking trans news: The States of Washington, Minnesota, and Oregon have sued the Trump administration to block it from enforcing a national gender affirming care ban for those under 19 years of age. This is the second major lawsuit over Trump's trans ban EO. Docs to come.
People care. People are fighting. Please don't think that no one cares. Please fight back where you can. Maybe you can't march. Call your reps. Reach out to local orgs to volunteer, or donate what you have. Build ties in your community. There is something you are good at. Use it to fight for good.

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.
I'm about to drop some random scripts and carousels tonight. It's not going to be as orderly as I normally am; there's just a LOT going on. But follow this thread. Script 1: RFK has made it through committee. CALL. YOUR. SENATORS. We have to do everything in our power to defeat him.
![RFK HAS MADE IT THROUGH COMMITTEE. CALL YOUR SENATORS:
YOU: Hi, my name is [name], and I’m calling from [zip code].
YOU: I’m calling on [SENATOR] to vote against RFK Jr.’s nomination to HHS when it comes to the floor. His stance on vaccines and non-medical science is dangerous, and will absolutely cause medical harm.
YOU: Is [SENATOR] really okay with someone this inexperienced running such a sensitive position? What will [SENATOR] do, when we have outbreaks all across the country and the next pandemic? All of this comes at a cost.
YOU: I am calling on [ SENATOR] to reject his nomination when the vote comes tot he floor.
YOU: [ADD MORE/PERSONALIZE/CLARIFY IF YOU WANT A RESPONSE]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vdabazxnghujbebpi2ektqgi/bafkreicr3qkl2d7cgukjjofikrz5cpzou5drn26akiygd37tpzoszb54ba)

Tom@darthinternous.bsky.social · 2y agoShout out to Grant Griffin and our art/design team for these amazing #StarWarsTheHighRepublic covers. Our big goal with this final trilogy was to build from night to day. From out of the darkness and into the light. Think it worked out rather well.
The 💿🐎 about the S&S blurb essay is interesting. But remember 2 things can be true at the same time. Yes, too much emphasis is put on getting blurbs (to the point of too much stress on authors) AND anything that's free promo is often the main/only source of promo for marginalized authors.
