Here's the thing. I do get moved by those photos of ambulances and buildings and clinics. INFRASTRUCTURE. LOGISTICS. SUPPLIES. Yes, yes, yes. That is exactly what we need, to generate those uplifting photos—accompanied by the minor falls, the major lifts, you know the routine.

Craig may be useless for fundraising pictures, but like so many exhausted healthcare workers around the world
, he is at an ER tonight. I got this out of him. It's tough in New York right now, but we have vaccines, treatments, and still functioning, if stretched-thin hospitals.pic.twitter.com/jE7SqQvXy1

Meanwhile, UN just announced that it will cut the already meager food aid to Yemen, not enough money. The country has been suffering from famine for five years now, along with the war. Burundi has similarly suffered. Neither country has basic enough supplies, let alone vaccines.

If you are somewhere safe with many advantages and abundance, I hope including good health, this night before Christmas, here's a fundraiser for Doctors Without Borders for Yemen and Burundi, with $41K in donations matched. Yes, I'm using press photos.

If you want to increase the match, just DM me. If you donate, you know the routine: it's a tax deduction. If you are wondering what on earth to give to another adult? Donate in their name.https://events.doctorswithoutborders.org/campaign/zeynepmatch2021 …

Also, I just signed over my '01 Civic to a friend's son, so that's the end of an era.
It is still running, and it was a stick-shift so no need to even lock it. (Thieves these can't drive a stick, apparently). But it kinda quadruples in value when I put my bike on it.3 replies 3 retweets 110 likesShow this thread -
But I would really like an end another era, where we have to try to find *just* the right baby pictures to fund healthcare globally. We shouldn't have to fundraise! But, there aren't enough resources, so we have to raise those funds since people in Yemen and Burundi exist, now.
