Once fully operational, it will be capable of caring for 65-80 patients confirmed or suspected of suffering from #Ebola. The centre also serves as a testament to the fact people can survive Ebola when symptoms are detected early and optimized supportive and holistic care is provided immediately.

How long term investment in communities saves lives. Kucwiny Cultural Group is hard at work creating #Ebola Prevention music. But the cultural group didn’t emerge fully formed from the void. Its origins a combination passionate performers AND local government support.

I really appreciate this reporting from DW news that people are listening and wanting to work with local communities and understand the strain on local communities youtu.be/KhJEXTKugd8?... #Ebola #societyAgainstEbola

What is Ngombor? This short video I put together for Project for Awesome this year provides a pretty good overview. We didn't get one of the prizes, but it gives you a good impression of what we do with remarkably little and how much more we can do. youtu.be/kx6mQkvE-Rk #P4A #Ebola

For #ebola news @dwnewstoday.bsky.social is a source I trust. Seeing how some messaging has changed over the last few days gives me a hopeful sense of a positive direction for addressing long standing needs. We shall see what comes of it, but it was good to hear some shifts. youtu.be/jyfgs16lE_I

Children (liturgical dancers) wash hands at practice. Making #ebola safety art in an ebola safe way in a high risk zone on the DR Congo border. These young performers are at Lajji chapel, Nebbi cathedral parish, Nebbi Catholic Diocese in Northern Uganda #SocietyAgainstEbola youtu.be/T7oGwpA-KdE

@johngreensbluesky.bsky.social there is a video I have seen, shared to me from people to people of the level of community distress & interactions with health workers. Is there a journalist you trust I can send things to on WhatsApp? I don’t want reprisal against people grieving.

Is it just me or is it super spooky that I see a lot of “report others” rather than something nurturing. It gives a lot more “other” has Ebola, militarized responses vibes than working with communities. #ebola www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Dear health, aid organizations, governments and reporters. I have been encouraging folks in Nebbi to report symptoms. I have cited urging from experts saying that people should not be displaced and to work with local communities as much as possible It takes a lot for some folks to feel safe #ebola

Ngombor community members work together to grow crops. Our hearts go out to people disrupted by conflict, displacement, Ebola & other diseases. Nature does not care whether we live or die, the seasons do not wait, but food still needs to be grown. youtu.be/BYhPyDgWSWQ #ebola #permaculture

Ngombor farm is being built using permaculture principles, which means that a zone will be preserved for wilderness. Wilderness needs to be an essential part of any development plan. Especially as pressure on habitats increases risk of zoonotic diseases like #ebola heyzine.com/flip-book/5f...

Keep the distance of a didgeridoo, yes, use culturally resonant metaphors to describe amount of space to keep. We need more of this sort of thing for #ebola prevention please. #ArtSavesLives

I’m so delighted to see Ugandan Ministry of Health coming out with this sort of messaging! Lists of symptoms can feel so abstract, but people in the region KNOW what malaria looks like and feels like #ebola

I’ve been hustling as fast as I can to work with folks in Nebbi to shut down the spread of #ebola thank you Australian government Emergency Management Australia. Your pandemic preparedness plan from 2006 & the grant that gave me a job to help folks prepare for disasters continues to pay dividends

We are as vulnerable as the most vulnerable amongst us. And beyond that, the world is full of wonderful people we will never know.

Public health messaging transmits at the speed of trust. Thank you Annie Sparrow, powerful and true. youtu.be/xKc8nLLBwjU?... @dwnewstoday.bsky.social #ebola

I’ve annoyed some folks talking and hustling for Ngombor this last year. Typhoid is a real problem in rural Nebbi. The only reason Adjolo is alive is because he collapsed when Vince was around. and Vince had the ability to get him to hospital. Adjolo had malaria and typhoid. #ebola

Dear news, when you talk about people responding violently to emergency responders, burning buildings etc you must read this very important #ebola paper. Contextualize how things could be different. Do your best to interview local leaders, even if it's a WhatsApp text message chain looking around.

Songs of safety, community support & lockdown. Something we don't talk about much for Australia's amazing lockdowns for stopping the spread of Covid-19 was how much art, and especially music helped. So this is a thread about that. Ideas for #ebola & general public health safety. #ArtSavesLives

if you would like to participate, please use #ebola #SocietyAgainstEbola let’s make #ebola more than journalists, experts and videos of people in hazmat suits. More humans supporting humans.

Sometimes life is a marathon. Sometimes it’s sprints and interval training. Some 12+ hour days last week and the Sunday mostly napping. Enough stuff in place the duration of the sprint part can be shorter now. A very nice feeling. It takes a village and I have some amazing folks in my village #tired

One of the many origin stories for Ngombor comes from youtu.be/mPP7amqTGFA?... @muheuenga.bsky.social 's stirring and inspiring speech at @ubuntu-ls.bsky.social Summit. Watch it! Africa needs friends and partners that stick around. Events should have multi-year sponsers not stuck in hustle.

Why am I like this? - childhood loneliness and pain - climbing trees - permaculture & farm for school holidays - You’re not a real… - Aunties and Uncles - Music - Reading - journaling - Art - Union Strong - parents were diplomats - near death experiences - kindness, solidarity & collective action

Kucwiny Cultural Group is going to put together something special to support Ebola prevention (with a bit more distancing in the upcoming performance). And that is very exciting, heck yeah community coming together. I fricken love this community youtu.be/GIQneZngXCA?... #ebola #uganda #alur #nebbi

@arseblog.com @arsenalfc.bsky.social @eplscores.bsky.social @arsenalvpodcast.bsky.social @tedlassobelieve.bsky.social @tedlasso.bsky.social Have you folks seen this? #FootballisLife And can you share on all your socials and help footie fans around the world?

@scalzi.com Can you get folks to share any part of this thread? Help with Ebola prevention Western coolness has power and this will help our Youth Leaders in Uganda (all Black Indigenous) know the world supports them and that it's cool to be safe. bsky.app/profile/liza...

Public health awareness campaigns should be as rad as the people they're aiming to serve. And all the folks I know in Uganda are fricken awesome. #ebola #publichealth

As @skyeperryman.bsky.social writes, the first Mother's Day was a protest movement rooted in opposition to war, injustice, and political violence. Today, we see women continue to be at the forefront of civil resistance. And we must all join them in the fight. Read Skye's op-ed in @msmagazine.com:

1/ Tear gas was created to incapacitate grown men. So when I started seeing reports of kids hurt by tear gas deployed by federal immigration agents, I wondered how often it was happening. My colleagues and I started to count:

I have this terrible brain pattern issue where I KEEP saying Substack when I mean Stack Overflow, which is massively embarrassing! Anyone have brain trickery tips for this kind of frustration? It’s been going on for years now!

Rewilding and re-nourishing the internet schemes and dreams at @pdx.atproto.camp... was it only yesterday? So many reminders of why Portland is why we originally moved to the USA. @graham.systems, @brittanyellich.com

@pdx.atproto.camp Thanks for hosting a terrific meetup! Is there a chapter near Washington DC? I'd love to recommend it to a friend. Also, is there a centralized list of meetups that are recorded/live streamed anywhere? Thanks!

Yesterday I accidentally ate a chunk of soap. And I can still taste it!

@tkingfisher.com oh great author and cartoonist! It was so great to see you at Norwescon! When you are sufficiently recovered/idly waiting in the airport, please send romance novel recommendations for a lass who used to be a lot more “ewww! Kissing books!” Until she read your grumpy Paladins! :)

Norwescon! come to my reading at 10am. For a lyrical, yearning and revolutionary story about a mermaid! cascade 3! #norwescon #norweson48

And sorry folks for the heavier, day job things, I promise I’ll post more comics soon!

The AI revolution is laying bare so many biases. Research &lawsuits keep piling up around how AI job screening tools discriminate illegally, be it age, gender or ethnicity. The biases against technical writing are a little bit more complex." lizargall.github.io/blog/state-o... #technicalwriting

When some say generative AI has felt like a liberation, we should be asking liberation from what? AI as code switching and masking. lizargall.github.io/blog/code-sw... #acessibility #socialJustice #TechnicalWriting

I am haunted by how much worse CODECO became after they lost their leader. I have friends with family in Congo. I wish I didn’t see parallels with the situation right now.
