Has anyone done 'Something Might Be Tuberculosis' yet?

Despair Is Not Wisdom

I’m hosting an advocacy session again at 5pm EDT today! Immediate goal is getting our Senators to sign on to the Dear Colleague letters for #tuberculosis and for the Global Fund, but it’s also a good time to hang out and work on other TB-fighting tasks. Stop by and you might even see a cat or two!

😮

Amazing job, Nashville!

The fact that our leaders can’t get together and say “hey, literally everyone (including the leaders at these companies!!) want this to happen more slowly so how about…you can’t build an AI data center unless it meets requirements including zero CO2” is embarrassing.

“The numbers are clear,” said Em Friedenberg, Researcher at Transportation Alternatives. “When women have access to protected bike lanes locally, they take advantage of this uniquely convenient and affordable transportation option. When they don’t, they’re stuck.” momentummag.com/the-bike-lan...

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

In addition to their excellent work in healthcare and disability advocacy, Matthew once helped me get out of a bad rental situation, just because I was a person on the internet who needed some help. I am forever grateful. If you have the ability, please consider sending some money their way!

Another successful TB Ed talk complete! If you weren't able to watch this one live, you can catch the recording at www.youtube.com/live/g4gE2bp... I'd say it was a good one, but they really all are.

HOLY SHIT Y'ALL we raised over $15,000 for BIPOC trans folks in Portland and mutual aid / rent assistance in Twin Cities, and I venture to say that all four hours of this telethon are absolute bangers. the whole thing is available to rewatch here and you can still donate for the next 24 hours!

If you want to support our little gang of whistle printers, @mostlybree.kitrocha.com has an ongoing thread of wishlists for folks printing with us who are running low on filament. Filament is the ONLY thing we need to make whistles go toot. So help support some printers!

This would not have happened if advocates hadn’t been insisting on this funding relentlessly for a year. When everything is terrible and things move slowly, it’s hard to believe that adding your voice to a cause actually does something. It does though

Thank you JD!! 🥹

Thank you Tori for the kind words! TB Ed Talks have been an absolute joy to work on.

I'm looking for work! I'm most experienced in virtual assistance, project management, and administration. Open to part-time permanent roles, #freelancing, and one-off projects. If you have a lead or just want a few hours of help with your inbox or a project, I want to hear from you! #lookingforwork

Today we are launching a new intitative of Stand With Minnesota—KeepMNHoused.com, a rent-relief campaign backed with a $1.5 matching fund from the Wilson Foundation. Thousands of MN families are at risk of eviction because of the ICE occupation’s lasting impacts. We can keep them housed.

Thirteen babies! And many new mothers and soon to be new mothers getting top of the line healthcare in a country that historically hasn't had access to it.

For the first time in my adult life, I own a food processor. I already have no idea how I've gone so long without one. Hummus, falafel, and protein bars are at the top of the list, as is batch grating lots of cheese. Anything else I should try doing with it?

May I present John Green, pacifist. #p4a2026

Threads? That's what I was making while watching #p4a2027 with @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social and @hankgreen.bsky.social 🧶 #p4a #projectforawesome

A rare Magic card! #p4a2026

Spot the Difference #P4A2026

Something I love about nerdfighteria is that when asked how we should celebrate hitting $2 million in #p4a we immediately said "use the machine to straighten the papers"

Oh, these are INCREDIBLE! projectforawesome.com

Everyone deserves access to safety. to housing. to food. We are all worthy of care, compassion, and support. Let's make that reality. That's the world we need to build.

A beautiful piece of writing on Renee Nicole Good from @garrettbucks.bsky.social. Never stop caring, friends. thewhitepages.net/p/heres-what...

#P4A2026 Reasons why you, yes you, should make a P4A video this year. 🧵 1. We cannot vote for a video that does not get made. 2. Your video can help make bad things less bad. 3. Your video can help make good things happen. 4. Even if your charity does not win, ripple effects can help your charity.

The world is descending into ever more chaos and I need to focus on looking for work so my partner and I can keep paying rent and buying groceries and other such things. If anyone has some spare good vibes to send our way in favor of me finding a job ASAP, I'd very much appreciate the support. 💜

I really should have anticipated that joining multiple "We're here because" threads would lead to an unprecedented number of notifications. Not complaining, of course. Just surprised, and also surprised that I am surprised.

Final stream of 2025, and probably my final stream for a while as my focus shifts to accommodate some life changes. Grab your projects and hang out with me so we can end the year on a high note! [https://www.twitch.tv/melodyofwoolves](www.twitch.tv/melodyofwool...)

I keep wanting to be more active on BlueSky but I've been mostly off feed-based social media for the last two years and I barely remember how it works. What's a person to do?

Flashback post and yep, still our favorite.

this is wonderful

Yes, what is possibly the biggest and most important project of my life happened because @hankgreen.bsky.social said a weird thing about boobs. Absolutely honored to be a part of this work.

Just a little stream today, because I have the sniffles and the stuffed up head. Gonna knit on this cowl either way, though, so maybe you can keep me company? 🧶 www.twitch.tv/melodyofwool...

The brioche cowl I started last week has been a lot of fun to knit, so we’re doing more of that today! Whether you join me in the chat or take advantage of the chill vibes to get some things done, I’d love to see you there. 🧶 www.twitch.tv/melodyofwool...

Yes, that’s right, I’m playing with yarn on stream again! Come hang out, chat Mercury Retrograde shenanigans, or just enjoy the chill vibes and do what you need to do. I’ll be here regardless! 🧶 www.twitch.tv/melodyofwool...

Today I’m live with Leafiefest, a celebration of streamers in Courtney Visser’s community of Leafies. I will be mending a carrot. Join us to find out what that means! 🪡🥕 www.twitch.tv/melodyofwool...

I’m running out of active knitting projects so today on stream I’m trying to pick up a scarf I started 6 or 7 years ago and haven’t touched in at least 3 years. Will it be easy or absolute chaos? Can I even remember what pattern I was using? Only one way to find out! 🧶 www.twitch.tv/melodyofwool...

I wasn’t quite able to knit a hat in four hours last week, so I’ll be finishing it on stream today. Maybe we’ll have time to work on something else as well! Bring your projects or just your gorgeous selves and accompany me on this crafting adventure. www.twitch.tv/melodyofwool...

Closing out my birthday month with one final stream for the Team Holocene Fall Festival! I will be attempting to knit a hat from start to finish in under 4 hours. Will I pull it off? Probably not, but that won’t stop me from trying! www.twitch.tv/melodyofwool...

I have *four* ongoing projects (knitting, sewing, mending) that I’d like to finish as soon as possible. Can I finish all four in one afternoon stream? Let’s find out together at www.twitch.tv/melodyofwool...

Celebrating my birthday on stream today by finishing some projects, mending a favorite sweater, and, if everything else gets done, maybe starting something new?? Come say hi, cheer me on, and maybe finish some things yourself at www.twitch.tv/melodyofwool...

Playing Genshin Impact today. www.twitch.tv/melodyofwool...

Kicking off my birthday month celebrations with, well, more of the same. More knitting! Join me as I work on this blanket that I might even finish this month (almost exactly a year after starting it.) Wouldn’t that be an excellent birthday present? www.twitch.tv/melodyofwool...

After another month of faff and red tape, I have finally finished moving and am ready to start streaming again. Join me as I try to remember how knitting and the internet work. www.twitch.tv/melodyofwool...

Today I'm playing Genshin Impact on stream because it's Summer Event time! Let's see what fun nonsense is coming for us this year. www.twitch.tv/melodyofwool...
