Kelly: When I was flying in combat over Iraq during the first Gulf War, I didn’t expect that there was a 10-year-old kid sitting in South Africa who would one day become the richest guy in the world and call me a traitor for doing my job. Now, he kind of acts like a 12-year-old kid

This is an interesting political time for me to be back studying Shakespeare…there’s definitely some intriguing character comparisons to be made. Future historians are going to have fun with this.

Many sudden and shocking health care developments this week. But this was a big one: The Trump administration on Friday paused funding for PEPFAR, the famed program to fight HIV/AIDS around the world.

Funds for fight against HIV/AIDS paused in Trump aid freeze

The President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, or PEPFAR, is credited with saving 25 million lives worldwide and has long enjoyed bipartisan support.

Advice to fellow activists, a thread:

✨Get a library card if you haven’t already. See just a few posts down on my account for why.

✨Don’t neglect your hobbies- you’ll burn out QUICKLY without them.

✨Remember that self care is also about health- eat as healthy as you can and work out.

No matter how crazy the world is, I can always count on my 3rd graders to keep things nice and predictable. As they greet me with an enthusiastic “I’m boredddddd” at 7:45am.
