“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

George Orwell, 1984

Halting the provision of HIV medicine to low income countries, Pepfar, which has saved 25 million people, is egregious.

It’s not surprising this America First agenda was created by a billionaire who gives no charity.

Thanks for sharing Erika. I will watch. My father left all his papers to the LBI

Some high school students reached out for an interview for a short doc on #reproductiverights. Given the sensitive nature I asked for an official from their school to confirm who they were. I chatted with them today.

NO ONE else responded to them. PEOPLE, we have to mentor our young folks.

Worth a read! @eileenvcollins.bsky.social uniquely fuses unimaginable pain with humor. This piece is an opening about how.

Im so sorry for your loss. Thanks for sharing this lovely piece about such a difficult topic.

Great life hack!

Did doggie copy your hairstyle? Relaxed sophistication vibes

Thx!

Amazing book!

All great books and docs. Check out my new memoir about a historic Everest climb in Tibet, 1988, the East Face only climbed once before but we used no oxygen or Sherpa support. An era before paid guiding. I was the “doctor” but only a 25-yr-old med student, and the only woman.

Twinning!

Can people add themselves to a starter pack or only the creator can add new folks?

Pretty snow! Awesome repro work in Ohio. The Cleveland public theater performed my play, The Post-Roe Monologues right before that election.

Georgia axes maternal health panel after abortion deaths leak Members of the task force had told ProPublica the state's abortion ban had led to women's deaths.

Women died in GA as a result of the abortion ban.

We found out because the state’s maternal mortality committee members spoke to Politico.

So GA fired the whole committee of #medical professionals to stop “leaked” information.

Thanks to the #authors of amazing craft books.

Some of my favorites while #writing Tap Dancing on Everest. The first page is general and memoir craft and the second is editing/pitching/publishing.
