I feel like I can’t make anything (film wise) because I don’t have the endless money and people power to do it to the absolute best of what I can imagine, so then I feel like I can’t start it because then I’ll “waste” the idea? Please tell me I’m not alone in this, and also what to do about it 🙃🙃

We had such a great time at the US #TBHillDay in April we're taking it up north!🇨🇦 Join us for the #LeadOnTB Advocacy Day on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Sept 25, 2025: bit.ly/LeadOnTB

Today I graduated with a BA (Hons) First Class Degree in Film Production. I also won the Outstanding Dissertation Award for my dissertation on ethical approaches to documentary filmmaking when working with vulnerable contributors.

This is, truly, an astonishing work of genius. To learn (much) more about TB, watch this video.

I have spent this week volunteering at Sheffield Documentary Festival, and seen some truly incredible films. It’s also helped my clarify some of my own ideas, including a short documentary about TB which I hope to make within the next couple of years!

“There’s something so interesting observing The Current US Government Situation from the peaceful stability of The Netherlands” *sees the current situation of the Dutch government* “OH OK”

Thing I am excited about for my trip Thursday night edition - the travel cards for Paris are SO COOL, and they use NFC so you can top them up USING YOUR PHONE!!! Why doesn’t London have that for Oyster cards, it would be so much easier!!!! And yes I do already have the app installed. I am READY.

🚨Tomorrow is the LAST day for House representatives to sign the #Tuberculosis Dear Colleague letter! 🚨Check out the @resultsorg.bsky.social scorecard to see if your rep has signed - if not, give them a call! docs.google.com/spre...#Tuberculosis

I love reading, but I am a slow reader. What a cruel world.

Nigerian fiction is highly underrated.

Ah I’m so close to finishing my dissertation!! It’s due a week today but I’m hoping I’ll have it done (to send to my supervisor for a final check) for Monday!!! The end is in sight!!!!

Almost exactly a year ago, I found out my dad had died. Here’s where I’m at: I have a folder of videos and live photos where I can hear his voice - I’m worried I’m forgetting it I can’t imagine what my life today would look like if he was still here - I don’t know how I feel about that

One thing I continue to struggle with is that my dad’s death was no one’s fault, but also completely preventable and unnecessary. And I find it hard to experience that anger, which I don’t think will go away and I don’t know that I want it to, and learning to be ok with a life where he is not here.

Friday 25th marked a year since I last saw my dad. Yesterday marked what should have been his 54th birthday. Tomorrow will be 1 year since he died. It’s 11 days until my mum’s birthday. A challenging time of year!!

Simply the anticipation of finishing my dissertation fills me with excitement.

I’m SO EXCITED to finish my dissertation so I can read BOOKS again.

Apparently bingo is so gripping it can distract you from the fact you’re in a war zone

🧨⏰”By slashing teams that gather critical data, the administration has left the federal government with no way of understanding if policies are working — and created a black hole of information whose consequences could ripple out for decades.”

📈 #TB in England and #Poverty: “the canary in the coal mine for other health issues related to social deprivation – everything from other infectious diseases to chronic conditions like diabetes.”

Yesterday we realized how tall a mountain 206 coffins makes. At State Department HQ, we brought one for each of the 100,000 adults & children on #HIV treatment who will die if @secmarcorubio.bsky.social is allowed to continue to decimate PEPFAR. (📸 @jimwatson_afp & @currentnoise.bsky.social) 🧵 1/x

The almost universal use of “Victorian disease” in UK news reporting about tuberculosis only stigmatises further the people living with it today. When we name TB today as a disease of the Victorian slums, we call the people ill with TB today its inhabitants.

At yesterday’s event, I had an incredible discussion with a TB specialist who works in London. She imparted so much knowledge, and told me some heartbreaking stories.

Great event at AFC Wimbledon with @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social yesterday, thanks to everyone who came to say hello and find out more about TBFighters!

Anyone coming to @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social event on Thursday, come and visit me at the @tbfighters.org table! I have leaflets, bookmarks, and stickers - and I’d love to talk to you about how we can bring an end to the world’s deadliest infectious disease! #TBSky #PeopleOverProfits

The anniversary of my dad’s death is creeeping up. I miss him a lot. But I also miss having a dad. I miss having two parents. I miss having a tight hug from someone taller than me. I miss all the little things and all the big things. Here he is at my aunt and uncle’s wedding in 2022.

I am so proud to be in community with these wonderful people #TBFighters #EndTB

TBFighters went to Danaher's door today with a simple message: it's #TimeFor5, to release their audit, and put #PeopleOverProfits. If 600 emails in one day aren't enough to make our voices heard, we'll just keep shouting louder! tbfighters.org/action

Couldn’t happen to a ‘nicer’ guy. how does 1 human have $31 billion to lose? 1.3 million deaths GLOBALLY could be prevented each year w/this amount of $. It could fund ALL TB R&D for 6 years, saving 10s of millions of lives across generations to come. #TBhillday #TBsky

I am once again complaining about medical admin. Why is it SO HARD to get something SO SIMPLE done!!! Medical systems would save so much money if IT systems were more modern and connected to each other, and patients+staff would save so much time.

There’s understandably a lot of talk during autism awareness month. But being autistic is difficult. It has a significant impact on my life, and causes me difficulty every day.

I never thought single-minded focus (monotropism) was much a part of my autism. Sure, I have obsessions, but they don’t often take up my whole consciousness. However - when I have assignments (uni or work), I stop reading books, I stop gaming, I find it very hard to do more than one thing.

Looking forward to seeing @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social talk about ‘Everything is Tuberculosis’ at Plough Lane on April 17th! www.afcwimbledon.co.uk/news/2025/ma...

It’s the world’s most deadly infectious disease. But it strikes the world’s most downtrodden and neglected, including here at home. So we turn our eyes. Not you, @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social. You’ve made the story of TB personal. And your vivid, moving, vital book makes us grateful you did.

Currently researching for a new camera, in preparation for graduating and starting a (money making🤞🏻) career. I haven’t camera shopped in about 6 years, and I feel like I’ve fallen out of the loop so much.

Today I learned that Ofcom also regulates the postal service? Which makes sense but is not something I would’ve realised!

These a truly chilling numbers. Each and every one is a person with a life as complex and rich as you and I. Oligarchal cruelty and greed condemns those rich society deems unworthy - we have to remember, and say out loud, that they are worthy.

I wrote a review of @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social 's new book, Everything is Tuberculosis, which I loved very much and which comes out on Tuesday. medium.com/@kenny.hanna...

It was super awesome to represent @tbfighters.org at today's #EverythingIsTuberculosis book tour with @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social! Thank you to all that went and stopped by our table with RESULTS! Here are some photos!

In case you missed it in the recent @tbfighters.org newsletter, we now have a letter template you can send to your government officials, or ambassador to the USA, if you live outside of the US. Ask that your government stands up for global health! docs.google.com/document/u/0... #TBSky

If you speak to a staffer instead of a voicemail, ask them to follow up with you about what actions your representative has taken A staffer told me once this is the best way to get attention on the request since they can’t close it out immediately

“People will die, but we will never know, because even the programs to count the dead are cut.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/h...

Hearing from Community Partners International, which works from Myanmar to Bangladesh, that USAID cuts mean 14,000 people with HIV losing access to lifesaving meds and a total stop in all HIV and TB screening. So many people will die due to these chaotic, sudden, horrifically implemented cuts.

Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts. Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵
