Recent TB and more recent CRC survivor. Would give this decade of health poor reviews. KFG kids.
Congressional staff are really really really in need of something else to talk about, so why not support a great cause (#Biased because I know a lot of these folk)
It's today! Help support the people on Capitol Hill: Call your Congressional Representative and two Senators and ask them to speak up for $225 million for CDC's TB programs in fiscal year 2027 (FY27). 1-202-224-3121. Leave a message if no one answers. Legislator look up link in comments.
In the last few decades, maybe a half-dozen Passovers, one funeral, two bnei mitzvot and one wedding... If @theradr.bsky.social helmed the local synagogue, I'd be there Friday night, Saturday, Thursdays....and even Yom Kippur, post-CRC treatment intestines would just have to deal.
No, bitch. Worrying about kids playing a ttrpg with orcs and elves or listening to metal (or hip hop) is moral panic Raping stolen children is a moral evil. And it is literally only my long-held beliefs against the death penalty keeping me from burning every one of you at the stake.
My Mork Borg CYOA/solo, "Dying on Stage" is part of this!

Considering I'm as observant as a plastic pig, I am duly touched (make sure you have the volume on)
Incredible
Effing hero. (Need someone to check out her pics so we TB folk can get her a proper cape)

Chilling. @wearetb.bsky.social @tschampl.bsky.social @robynwaite.bsky.social @globalsentinels.bsky.social @younite4tb.bsky.social @tbfighters.org @stoptbcanada.bsky.social
World leaders, are you listening? The data is overwhelming. The time for action is NOW. Restore funding and programs to #EndTB #TBServicesDisrupted #GlobalHealthCrisis #RestoreTBFunding #EndTB
Good games. Really good people too--an asset to the Los Angeles design community.
I've read most of Hotez's general audience books for my work with @stoptbusa.bsky.social. Highly recommended.
🦆🚨 Quack alert: Mark Blaxill, major anti-vax author who blames his child's autism on vaccines, is now occupying prime space in CDC’s Immediate Office of the Director 😫 For perspective, pediatrician, vaccine scientist and parent of an autistic child Dr. Peter Hotez writes about his own experience
Yes. I know. But we still need him to act.
Testing for latent TB infection (LTBI) saves lives and money. But Medicare has stalled... - Over 25 organizations called on CMS to act nearly 2 years ago. -TB cases are the highest in a decade. - Older Americans are at greater risk. @globalsentinels.bsky.social @tbfighters.org @wearetb.bsky.social
The new year just began, but I think I've already hit on 5786's understatement winner: I needed this.
Also yes, I gave @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social a challah I made (round of course), it's how we celebrate 🤷♀️ I did forget to include the honey, but we may we all have a sweet new year 🍯
The livestream has been amazing. And call your reps and senators: their staff will be doubly eager to take good notes about something that doesn't involve Epstein, Israel, or last week's shootings!
For the next 24 hours: saveaidsresearch.org
If you haven't read her book...time to change that.
Celebrating life in TRANSition: 10 YEARS! A thread with photos: Hard to believe it myself. In many ways, Sep. 4th is a birthday for me: on Sep. 4, 2015, I took my first dose of HRT. Just 2 small pills: a 50mg Spiro, and a 2mg estradiol. It changed my life for the better, in every way! 1/13
TB and CRC survivor here--that's enough seriously ill time to understand at a deeper level just what a f&*!ing threat he is. @wearetb.bsky.social @tschampl.bsky.social @younite4tb.bsky.social @globalsentinels.bsky.social @tbfighters.org (Thank you for signing: @stoptbusa.bsky.social)

Look at that lineup of sponsors and speakers...not to be missed.
There's going to be value for everyone, but especially TB peeps north of the border. us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi... @tbfighters.org @tschampl.bsky.social @wearetb.bsky.social @globalsentinels.bsky.social
Pretty much the same (except I'm 58)
I'm a 57 year old college educated man. I learned about the Tulsa race massacre from a TV show 6 years ago. Schools have been very selective about the history that is taught. That's just one of the reasons why this matters.
Eight time zones away from @rebellionunplugged.bsky.social's home base, T&T TNA hits @strategicon.bsky.social in Los Angeles. @tunnels-and-trolls.bsky.social @deluxetnt.bsky.social @voxparlour.bsky.social @loottheroom.bsky.social
FWIW: TB is a bacteria, so it's safe to promote this and make it go viral...<rimshot> @jesthehuman.itch.io @wearetb.bsky.social @stoptbusa.bsky.social @globalsentinels.bsky.social

Good night, friends Truth to power - right on the windows riddled w/ bullets from a shooter poisoned by anti-vaccine lies. Fuck RFKJ (However, from a public health standpoint, we strongly advise against anyone fucking 🧠🪱) ✨Huge respect for the courage it took to put up that sign. Absolute legend❤️🔥✊
Great organization, and though you want to be there real time in case you have follow-ups, because it's reddit, the answers will still be online. @wearetb.bsky.social @stoptbusa.bsky.social @globalsentinels.bsky.social
Global health funding just took a major hit. So… what happens next? Ask us directly in our Reddit AMA on Mon, Aug 18 at 2 PM ET with Vincent Lin & Lucas Allen from our advocacy team. Follow the thread for more information and get reminded of the event: bit.ly/3Hkyv2S
Turn off the devices. The Internet is not going to get any better than this.
I think this could work!
I know the 100k matters most, but I love some of the other numbers, namely 268 creators and 6907 buyers. In the venn diagram of humanity, the easiest way to find some good folk clearly is to start with the circles around @jesthehuman.itch.io
We have just 11 hours left for the No ICE in California itchio charity bundle! itch.io/b/3110/no-ic...
