One of President Carter’s many humanitarian efforts was the eradication of guinea worm, a parasite that causes incredibly painful and debilitating disease in some of the poorest parts of the world.
And he’s almost done it.
In 2023, there were 14 cases. When he started, there were millions a year.

OK...the NWS Bot collection is now fully populated and ready to go. I'm sure bugs will come up along the way, but I think it is 95%+ stable.
There's an index page at nws-bot.us including a map (borrowed from NWS) to find the right bot for the area you want to follow.

This is what trans folks mean when we say "let us tell our stories". Will Ferrell used his clout and brand to get this made which obviously is being focused on him but the actual doc is very much Harper's story and most often in her own words. If folks won't give us a seat, pull out a chair.

U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris plans to roll out a new set of economic policies this week that aim to help Americans build wealth and set economic incentives for businesses to aid that goal, three sources with knowledge of the matter said.
