Go the Distance is such a beautiful song and really has transformed into a classic.

yellow book cover reading Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection Signed Edition

My new book, Everything Is Tuberculosis, explores the history of our deadliest infectious disease. It's also about our horrifying present: TB still kills kills over a million people per year, even though it's been curable since the 1950s.

I feel like my stories are insignificant.

A poem by Langston Hughes titled "Tired". It reads as the following: "I am so tired of waiting, Aren't you, For the world to become good And beautiful and kind? Let us take a knife And cut the world in two -- And see what worms are eating At the rind."

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever.

I'm doing final edits on Everything Is Tuberculosis, and I can't stop adding stuff. I spent 3 years on the book, but I am not done. I must mention the tongue swab tests. I must let you know about the new app made in Lesotho that aids in contact tracing. Also did you know about the Adirondack Chair.

I must immortalize it here: I am a Henry Crawford stan. I’m all for female autonomy and loyalty, but it was crystal clear—Henry Crawford was in love. #CouldHaveBeenCrawford #MansfieldPark

But of course I sang this in my head

Hank Green is so ambitious. It's exhausting. My life is like being the co-author of the Federalist Papers.

I'm all like, "John Jay got sick after writing five."

And Hank's like, "HAMILTON WROTE THE OTHER FIFTY ONE."

I am thoroughly enjoying Mansfield Park and swooning over every chapter. Ugh #CouldHaveBeenCrawford

Folks who followed me because I wrote some books are about to find out what this account is really all about: Reveling in the joy and horror of fourth tier English football through the lens of the greatest club on this or any planet, @afcwimbledon1889.bsky.social.

I would say I'm sorry but I'm not.
