ACEGID trained over 1,500 people from 48 African countries.

Impact "was evident during the COVID-19 pandemic. In Feb 2020, ...hospitals that ACEGID worked with in Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Senegal had COVID diagnostics before any U.S. hospital...Africans sequenced over 100,000 coronavirus genomes."

Chills.

"In Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, more than 11,000 people died of Ebola. But in Nigeria, there were only eight deaths, largely because Happi and ACEGID were able to diagnose Ebola there not in weeks or days, but in hours."

Revolutionary idea. This is the sh*t.

"Sabeti [Cambridge, MA, U.S.] and Happi [Lagos, Nigeria] considered an inspiring possibility: What if the active monitoring of viruses could happen on the ground in Africa by Africans?"

Rather than endless “Trump lashes out” stories. Cmon yall!!!

At what point will the press corps, as a chorus, in unison, just shout back, “THATS NOT TRUE”!

What are we doing?

Go my Bothriolepis... This year's fish pecan pie! Bothriolepis was a peculiar-looking placoderm from the Devonian period or the Paleozoic. It had two long pointed pectoral fins and silly little eyes on top of its head.

Many years ago, I was feeling stressed by the state of the world and I started a Holiday Fairies thing where people sent me their wishlists and I publicized them to try to get everyone gifts for the holidays.

@shelflove.bsky.social skillfully took it over and made it An Actual Thing!

Like SRSLY!

interesting left vs center battles coming in a few days!
In Atlanta next week, city council and school board runoffs have become the latest battle between left-leaning groups and establishment-aligned Democrats, who by and large did well in the preliminary round on Nov. 4.

I have thoughts about people with good hearts and good intentions. They are illustrated in Inheritors of Power.

They are all very well, but we still need an objective standard of harm.

I'm sorry... compe... tition? I can still profit?

By sinking years of my life into writing a novel that someone else can just copy, sell for a penny apiece, and make infinity profit on their investment of zero?
So, someone taking your art and selling it isn't theft and it doesn't prevent you from profiting off your own work, it introduces competition. Copyright is the promise to protect your monopoly and prevent competition, something that benefits corporations more than you by, a lot.

In honor of this, I am starting a "Books I am thankful for" thread. These will be as I think of them, and not in order of anything.

Start with a classic: The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. LeGuin.

Always and forever grateful to my friends and supporters and people for leaving comments. 💜💜💜
