First episode of Complexly's new history show! www.youtube.com/watch?v=769f...

Introducing The History Show, a new series premiering this Friday at youtube.com/complexly! Join host RJ McLaughlin every other Friday as he unearths overlooked stories and reveals how the past and present are forever linked.

New research estimates that as many as 2.2 million more people could die of tuberculosis if U.S. cuts to foreign aid become permanent.

For those who care about TB—and humanity—this is a terrific and well-referenced article about the death and destruction sown by the current U.S. administration. www.cidrap.umn.edu/tuberculosis... thank you @cidrap, for this comprehensive reporting. @tbfighters.org @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social

TB is the world's DEADLIEST infectious disease, claiming 1.25M+ LIVES every year despite being preventable AND curable 🤯 #cdnpoli Your government needs to hear from YOU! Email your MP today calling on Canada to #LeadOnTB ‼️ Need help getting started? We got you 👇 resultscanada.ca/action-butto...

Hope to see some of y'all at the National Book Festival in Washington D.C. this evening! Signed books will also be available because I simply cannot bring myself to stop signing books.

I am as far removed from writing the fault in our stars as 2011-me was from graduating high school.

Save the date: join the live premiere of our next Crash Course Lecture September 16 at 9 am PT / 12 noon ET.

As we see ANOTHER huge drop in the cost of curing tuberculosis, I am reminded that 1. drugs are not expensive because they're made of platinum or something, and 2. the fruits of activism are often harvested over many years. Thanks to all the folks who made this happen. www.stoptb.org/news/breakin...

@vicmmic.bsky.social asked @hankgreen.bsky.social all the right questions...or made all the right declarative statements in this episode. Get all the answers now at youtube.com/complexly

If you're interested in the playbook for how our government is intentionally (and illegally) withholding funds appropriated by Congress, this @nytimes.com article explores to playbook: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/h...

I can’t wait to catch up with my friend and nerdfighteria’s resident mathematician @danielbiss.bsky.social! We’ll talk tuberculosis, his run for Congress, and maybe how his run for Congress could help us fight tuberculosis. Join us on 9/4 at 12pm CT.

Good news travels fast, especially when it’s in the pages of @incmagazine. Huge thanks to Inc. for featuring our founders, Hank & John Green, and the work we’re building together at Good Store. Check it out: www.inc.com/annabel-burb...

Incredibly, The Anthropocene Reviewed just RE-ENTERED the New York Times bestseller list 4 years after its publication. Thanks to everyone who has kept that little book alive, which I wrote for myself in search of hope that could withstand life as I found it. I hope it's been useful to y'all.

Unsurprising but horrifying. Wherever there are people forced into crowded living conditions, there will be tuberculosis. Wherever people are dehumanized, there will be tuberculosis. prospect.org/health/2025-...

It's genuinely absurd that Hank has co-created the most popular app in the United States. This is only going to encourage him.

I'm worried that Hank's app being a phenomenon will lead to him believing his 1,000 other business ideas are also good.

It's genuinely absurd that my brother, vertical video sensation @hankgreen.bsky.social, co-created the sixth most popular app in the world right now. (Good app, too.)

Thrilled to be the keynote speaker for the World Conference on Lung Health in Copenhagen this November. conf2025.theunion.org/registration/

Do you want to feel old? The Paper Towns movie came out 10 years ago yesterday.

We make really good coffee. Then we donate 100% of the profit to fight tuberculosis with comprehensive care. good.store/collections/...

A great reminder that the U.S. TB epidemic remains within living memory: www.nytimes.com/2025/07/21/h...

Just watched this gutwrenching video from a mutual friend seeking a bone marrow transplant for their kids. www.instagram.com/p/DMQ2SbfyhGc/ I was reminded how easy it is to sign up to be a bone marrow donor, and how important it is. Text TEAMTHOMPSON to 61474 to join the bone marrow registry today!

Tragically, the NIH is finding any reason it can to cancel grants, including critical research into the nature and function of mycobacterium tuberculosis. www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

🎤 Key speaker announced: @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social will speak at #WCLH2025 - the world's leading #LungHealth event, 18-21 Nov in Copenhagen. The bestselling author & global health advocate brings his momentum from the UN to #UnionConf2025 🔗Register now: tinyurl.com/2vytnjek #TB #JohnGreen

This is a big and significant win, and speaks to the real power of public advocacy campaigns. Still a VERY long way to go in the fight against the cuts, though. Join us at @tbfighters.org in pushing against attempts to cut U.S. investments in domestic and global health.

It's a reunion video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQfy...

This evening there's an important webinar about the attempts to codify cuts to everything from global health to NPR: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Hank and I are filming a question Tuesday video. What are your questions? (Fish and llama questions preferred.)

Experts estimate USAID cuts are leading to 88 deaths PER HOUR. A UN office called these “the deepest funding cuts ever to hit the international humanitarian sector.” If funding isn't resumed, they estimate an additional 10 million cases & 2 million preventable deaths by 2030: tb.impactcounter.com

Great op-ed @usatoday.com from longtime TB Fighter Quinn Yates: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

At least there are trees. When I was younger, I thought trees were a big stupid waste of time except insofar as they provide us with oxygen. Now, when I am sad and on the edge of something worse than sad, I think, "At least there are trees."

So true. good.store/collections/...

Tumblr being a good web site again is the funniest shit that's ever happened to me in my life.

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

A new video about publishing: What "#1 New York Times Bestseller" actually means in terms of sales, money, and so on. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqE_...

I partied like a Young Person last night with some of the kids and producers from the fault in our stars and paper towns. (They aren't kids anymore, of course. They're impressive adults living thoughtful and essential lives.) With >10 years of hindsight, everything has faded except the gratitude.

Nerdfighteria's own Marcus Browne IS STAYING.

“Foreign aid has changed nothing.” “These are not our problems.” “The system is dysfunctional.” “The countries we aid are corrupt.” “Other countries aren’t doing enough.” I have heard all these arguments too. @nickkristof.bsky.social succinctly answers. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/25/o...

One of the benefits of reading a lot of history is that you realize how many people who were ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN they were doing a lot of good were, in fact, doing a lot of harm. Certainty is a hell of a drug. Certainty combined with fame/power is especially dangerous.

You think you're the painter, but you're the canvas. www.psychologytoday.com/au/blog/mood...

The House passed a bill that would gut global health funding and the Senate is next. Programs like PEPFAR, TB care, and UNICEF are all on the line. 🗣️ Call your Senator today and tell them: Vote NO on the $9.4B rescissions package. Take action: act.pih.org/global-healt...

Catastrophic.
