Let me say it clearly, I DO NOT LIKE THIS. I want to pay my taxes and I want there to be properly funded global organizations that deliver health-care as a human right, but also help keep all of us safe because, hello, the virus isn't checking your passport or color of your skin.

Anyway, after much effort, I got one proper fundraising photo out of
@Craig_A_Spencer. It's a cute little newborn and an emotional mom, on a refugee boat in the Med. Perfect. Not taken by him, of course. If he's taking any pictures, they're probably of the sterilizing equipment.pic.twitter.com/vTAd7E0qW0

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 -
Pretty much, yeah. Not exaggerating.
