@seananmcguire.bsky.social I was pondering Coyotes and animal control and thought of you :) In our area we have a pretty big coyote problem in our area and the Coyote are looking pretty sleek, like they might be eating premium dog food!
Wow, Abe Books! Someone needs to have a look at your UI strings! Lols! : D Anyone else seeing this? www.abebooks.com/servlet/Book...
Scam alert, it looks like bitcoin etc scammers are being extra aggressive towards folks in #ebola high risk zone. Emotionally and financially stressed folks are ideal targets. Please spread the word and help people be safer
Yesterday I visited Mulago National Referral Hospital in Kampala, where a separate unit has been prepared to treat #Ebola patients. I'm glad for the opportunity to meet with health workers in charge and thank them for their dedication.

Ughhh, gross, just got a text nominally from Obama for money that smelled bad and it was even more off than usual. I googled “.cc domain meaning” and somehow I don’t think he’s fundraising from the Cocos Islands.
<3 people being safe on such a significant day. When you think 300 people came to celebrate there’s a lot of community pulling together to shrink themselves down to the permitted 50. Unlike Covid, it’s not transmitted by breath, so that is why you don’t see masks. #ebola youtu.be/C55VhuHUsnc

When supporting folks in disasters, it’s helpful to remember you’re also donating to help prevent abductions & exploitations that abusers will do in any situation. If Weinstein files pissed you off, donating to any Reputable #ebola cause helps w biosecurity & how some exploit vulnerable situations
An #Ebola outbreak is affecting Uganda & the DR Congo. As in every crisis, children & girls are on the front line. Plan Belgium is activating an emergency budget to support local teams in the most exposed areas. Our priority: protecting children & families & strengthening girls’ safety

if Kennedy Jnr and the orange guy wanted the world to adjust to America no longer being a global power, I would have preferred options with less loss of life. Now whenever I think of the orange guy I think of this billboard, except with “withholding global aid, no one things big of you” #ebola

Faith, fear and trust: Inside DR Congo’s fight against #Ebola Community mistrust of health workers, often rooted in historical exploitation and current insecurity, is allowing Ebola to spread in DRC. Authorities are struggling to rebuild the faith needed for outbreak response to work
Faith, fear and trust: Inside DR Congo’s fight against Ebola
In a village in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), health workers arrived a few days ago to help bury a person who had died from Ebola. Instead, they were threatened, told armed rebels would be called if they stayed, and forced to leave.

@declanwalsh.bsky.social do you or other #ebola folks know if the larger open cut mines use illegal ticketing systems or similar that might encourage dangerously unsanitary practices as people don’t want to leave mines unless they have to?
Short video journal of what some of the gold mines in DR Congo look like. Powerful to see what it looks like. Looks like the majority of mines in DR Congo are open cut, but still not the best conditions www.instagram.com/reel/DZM8Fw6... <3 @declanwalsh.bsky.social ‘s #ebola journalism
There is so much potential with the plan laid out from African CDC for fighting #ebola. Northern Uganda has been chronically under funded for much too long. We can see with Kucwiny Cultural Group how powerful a bit of local government funding can be for years to come youtu.be/om4N6BVOjlQ?...

I love this song. And speaks to a broader beauty of what happens when communities are supported to take care of their orphaned, endangered and disadvantaged children. I don't know of a government that invests enough in communities to enable this universally, but <3 <3 www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-wM...
