Si algo sé -dentro de todas las no certezas- es que voy a escribir una novela de M, de la implosión que ha traído a mi existencia y toda la revolución que él y su pueblo encarnan.
Implosión que tenía que ser para dar paso a mi metamorfosis.

Peace is the best medicine!
The #Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal is welcome and encouraging. Too many lives have been lost and too many families have suffered. We hope all parties will respect the deal and work towards lasting peace.🧵

Prices, availability, and affordability of adult medicines in 54 low-income and middle-income countries: evidence based on a secondary analysis
Access to essential medicines remains a global challenge. Medicines consistently display high prices, low affordability, and poor availability. Although there have been some advancements, the overall accessibility of essential medicines remains a substantial global concern. Innovative and targeted strategies are essential to enhance access, requiring a concerted effort from governments, health-care organisations, and international bodies to implement solutions that address both economic and logistical barriers.

In an interview with TIME, Trump said he would have a "big discussion" with RFK about ending childhood vaccination programs. He suggested that they could get rid of some vaccinations if he thinks they are "dangerous." This is so incredibly reckless and will kill people.
