Hey guys! I’m going to put something out here - I am always desperately searching for a small funding mechanism to pay the two leads of Somos TB a small stipend to host & manage our Spanish language #tuberculosis support. The work they do REALLY helps people.

Hey #TBsky but really anyone - I’m looking for ideas for meals that will help someone GAIN weight. The catch is, they are diabetic -so no crazy sugar, and they are vegetarian (not vegan! Butter/ghee/milk/eggs ok). Harder than I thought. Any ideas? Thank you! #diabetes #vegetarian #tuberculosis

Ok so when @tenzinkunor.bsky.social & I read “Everything is Tuberculosis” by @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social we agreed that while “Spes Phthisica” was a concept that came out of ignorance about #tuberculosis , everyone we have met who has had TB really HAS been very cool. Look at @wearetb.bsky.social
