So.... I have incurable brain cancer and I'm asking for your love & support 💖

Are you familiar with the printer ink business model? Sell a printer for a modest profit because you'll make the real money from forcing people to buy your ink? IT's also known as the razor blade business model. Danaher sells its diagnostic machines at a small profit and then price gouges for tests--thus denying millions access to affordable, accurate tests for tuberculosis. And then THEY BRAG ABOUT IT TO THEIR SHAREHOLDERS. Just listen to @DanaherCorp CEO Rainer Blair. #PeopleOverProfits

Good morning! We're kicking off this AM with some breakfast and conversation. Come join us! 🍩🍎🍵 #BarCampGR

I HAVE RETURNED TO MAIN because I am FURIOUS that @JNJGlobalHealth is preventing millions from accessing life-saving treatment with bedaquiline, thereby costing innumerable lives and increasing the global risk of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. piped.video/watch?v=tMhgw5SW…

An open letter to @JNJNews. Stop pursuing the secondary patent of bedaquiline. YOU KNOW that millions of people will be unable to access lifesaving treatment for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis if you extend the patent. YOU KNOW it violates your credo. piped.video/watch?v=tMhgw5SW…

Two hours after most massive missile strike yet. Half of Kyiv without power. Restaurants still manage to serve hot and steamy borscht. In a candlelight. Fuck you fucking russia

this should be as big of news as the notre dame fire imo. polynesian history is incredibly rich and the people of rapa nui were the most skilled sailors/explorers ever (yes, ever!). this history is important and deserves all our preservation efforts. they’ve already lost so much.

Republicans blocked a vote on gun safety bills in the Michigan Senate today. woodtv.com/news/michigan/mic…
