I can’t tell if You Can See Everything is a huge breakaway hit or if it’s specifically managed to dominate the niche demographic: everyone I’ve ever met.

In January, @standupforscience.net sent an on the ground investigator to Guinea Bissau to learn more about the study. Something that has not changed in GB or about the study: there is NOT A WORD for Hep B. They use the language for "yellow fever", that's not informed consent.

In response to today’s White House Executive Order (EO) on vaccines, parents should continue to rely on evidence-based immunization recommendations developed by experts. Today's EO does not change the scientific evidence supporting childhood immunization. That data has been built over decades.

Other folks on the project got this before I did, but I've come to see @unbreaking.org as less about broadcast—our careful work deliberately refuses to compete with immediacy—and more about the kind of thing @mattseybold.bsky.social points toward. We read and wrestle down realities together.

Excited to announce I started a podcast with my friend @trufelman.bsky.social, where we read classic philosophical works and discuss what they can teach us about why we buy, wear, and value the things we do. It’s basically a podcast for people who love clothes, books, and big ideas.

A direct letter from @drtedros.who.int to the people of Tenerife, Canary Islands in light of the MV Hondius’ arrival. This is thoughtful and compassionate, and correctly describes the legal framework, but more importantly the solidarity that underpins it.
