deeply enjoying this current era of john "not to make it about tuberculosis but" green

Not to make it about tuberculosis but: Did you know that tuberculosis kills more children every year than HIV or cancer?

Because it is the oldest human disease, and the illness that had spread around the globe the most efficiently even before the Columbian Exchange began, TB is at the center of so many historical narratives.

But it should also be at the center of CONTEMPORARY narratives, because we allow TB to kill over 1.5 million people every year.

seeing people see the movie

One thing you might not know about me is that in addition to being an unpaid intern for a coffee company, I also have a day job, which is writing books.

Last night, the stars of the Turtles All the Way Down movie (Cree Cicchino, Isabela Merced, Judy Reyes, and Felix Mallard) saw it for the first time, and seeing their faces in the minutes after it finished was just so wondrous and joyful. They were smiling and crying, and I got to thank them for pouring so much of their talent and their soulstuff into this little movie, and it was just the best feeling.

Like, I tend toward introversion. I spend at least 10 hours a day alone, and have for almost my entire adult life. But even so, everything is a collaboration. Books are a collaboration with editors and designers and above all readers. Movies are a sprawling collaboration with hundreds of people, from accountants to caterers to actors. And coffee companies are a collaboration–with farmers, with roasters, and with the team at dftba.com.

There is fulfillment for me in work itself, in the private and interior work of trying to understand what I want to say and how I want to say it. But the real joy for me is always in the collaboration, in the making of stuff together, in coming together with people to turn your love and effort in the same direction so that together you might do what alone would be impossible.

r/soccer - Here is the speech Centro Español's captain, a team from Argentina's fifth tier, gave to his squad before facing and beating top flight side Tigre last night (Copa Argentina)

DO YOU NEED TO FEEL ALIVE? DO YOU NEED TO FEEL HOPE? Centro Español’s captain is HERE TO MAKE YOU BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.

After this speech, they went out and beat a team four divisions above them. Unbelievable. The players were sobbing on the pitch at the end of it.

carduus-divinus asked:

Recently in an episode of dear John and Hank you asked the question, "what has killed more in 2022, tuberculosis or war, homicide, malaria, meningitis, and cholera combined?" I've got some questions about this. Specifically when including homicide are you counting just the homicides committed by civilians against other civilians, or are we including the people murdered by police? I guess I'm just looking for clarification on what you include in this catagory. Either way I'd be down to watch that four hour long video.

Long time listener,

Rin

Hey, Rin,

At the moment, about 93% of all humans deaths are caused by disease. Most of the remaining 7% die from accidents–globally, road accidents are an especially common cause of death.

Homicide, state violence (judicial and extrajudicial killings by the state), and war together cause an average of about 500,000 deaths a year. (It will be somewhat higher in 2023 because of the war in Ukraine.)

To be clear, this is very high. Nobody should be die by violence, let alone half a million people each year.

Malaria causes more death than violence–around 600,000 deaths per year (although this has been declining a lot over the last two decades).

Meningitis and cholera combine to cause around 315,000 deaths per year.

And tuberculosis causes over 1,600,000 deaths per year.

More people died of tuberculosis in the last two decades than died in World Wars I and II combined. Tuberculosis has killed over A BILLION humans, and will kill hundreds of millions more in the next century if we don’t start placing at the center of our conversations around health equity and access to healthcare.

You can see the leading causes of global death here, except for Tuberculosis, which we recently realized we’ve been undercounting.

Twitter sucks so bad.

Imagine someone set out to make a technological tool that spread information really efficiently but at the cost of making the tool’s users outraged and misinformed and convinced that other people are monsters and human life itself is a horrific enterprise that sucks value away from the universe and gives nothing in return.

You would literally make twitter. And then one of the humans who uses your tool a lot would get really outraged and misinformed and convinced that other people are monsters, and that one person would happen to have access to 44 billion dollars, and then that one person would ruin their own life by spending their fortune on a thing that made them angry and misinformed and convinced that other people are monsters.
