This is a very fun way to close out the week. Thank you for the kind and generous words @nytimesbooks 💙🌊💙
Beautifully lyrical author (and my client!) @camdros's THE BOY AND THE SEA, illo'ed by Amy June Bates, was just featured in the @nytimesbooks review & they called it "emotionally daring and poetic". WHICH IS 100% TRUE! 😭🌊 https://t.co/85wTEPaepV

I wish everyone a restful and reflective Memorial Day. And the next time you see ice cream, think about the future we can build together in North Carolina! Because we’re really very good at growing grass- and everything that comes with it.

When I grow up I want to be @sportswithjohn 🫶
🧵Today I’m on Capitol Hill, where Dr. Atul Gawande just announced @usaid will commit $10,000,000 this year to radically reduce TB in the Philippines. Together with a million dollars from our family and matching funds from the government of the Philippines, over $22,000,000...

All the dads happy that their daughters finally watched a football game with them know they could have been watching Taylor Swift videos with their daughter all this time, right?

Please stop using cursive fonts for YA book covers. I can't get them to circulate because the teens can't read cursive.

Me after booking a 5 day family cruise for Christmas. Also—What is feels like to let go of the mental/emotional load of planning, shopping, cooking, and cleaning for a family of nine.

$2 off the price of one test is not enough. People are dying for all the tests to be <=$5. #Timefor5
@DanaherCorp and @CepheidNews must drop the price of XDR TB test now!

Meg actually did the difficult legwork of exposing the grift of Tim Ballard, as an independent investigative journalist from a community inclined to take Ballard’s word, and was instrumental in breaking the story. She deserves named credit in all the exposés.

We lay down our arms So that we can reach our arms Out to one another. We seek harm to none, and harmony for all… Victorious, not because we will never again know defeat, But because we will never again sow division.

FINALLY!🥳🥳🥳
BIG NEWS: @JNJNews just publicly confirmed it will not enforce its secondary bedaquiline patents in ANY of 134 low- and middle-income countries. That's HUGE. Full credit to Johnson & Johnson for this commitment. This is what we've been waiting for.

Great to hear @UNITAID sharing our concern that @JNJNews's enforcement of their secondary patent is still causing harm, despite their agreement to allow generic competition in most low-income countries. This is an important, nuanced read for TB fighters.
In an open letter to @JNJNews CEO, Unitaid expressed concern that recent #bedaquiline pricing agreement still unfairly restricts access to the critical tuberculosis drug in countries where the need is greatest, requesting immediate action. https://t.co/rR2McrfuJg

Critical tuberculosis medication is currently unavailable in India--worsening our drug-resistant TB crisis and causing needless death. As one man puts it, "If my wife dies, who would be held responsible for this crime?" Pls join me in signing this letter:

Everyone wants the rom-com book between Taylor & Travis. I want the romance between the agent/manager of the global pop star in the middle of world tour, who's life is suddenly smashed together with the footballer's agent/manager as they're forced to coordinate time for the stars
