Happy birthday to me! 🩷💜

If you work 40+ hours a week in America, you shouldn’t be living in poverty. 🇺🇸

USAID matters. I've often disagreed with their strategy and choices, but their work saves more lives than any philanthropy can. It's a rounding error in the federal budget, and one of the best things we do as a country. To see it destroyed overnight by one unelected man is an unmitigated horror.

We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines.

The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds.

It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.

We do not ever ask you, the people we serve, for money.

I wrote a poem about earth‘s mini moon, which we have for a few more days. Check it out in issue 3 of @sillygoosepress.bsky.social here: sillygoosepress.com/issue-three/...

I think I'm just going to put on noise canceling headphones for the next four years.
