YOU are extending the patent of bedaquiline in countries impoverished by racism and colonialism--like Sierra Leone. The bedaquiline patent SHOULD end 20 years after you filed it on July 18th, 2003. But you're extending it, denying people access to affordable lifesaving treatment.

[Amy Slack @amyizzylou]

@JNJNews Do not evergreen bedaquiline.

I absolutely loved working with Rekha and her delightful and insightful words. This is an allotment book like no other: full of warmth, heart, smiling toes, stripey socks, and a cucumber plant called Barbara 📚

[Rekha Mistry @rekha181]

I can finally share my news. My debut book will be coming out in Feb 2023
From the days of Big Allotment Challenge to this.

Thank you @SeeWhyGardens for "encouraging" me to author this book. Truly grateful 💚

@nationalrailenq Hi, my mam is travelling Durham>KingsX, originally due 14.39. She's now stuck north of York where she's heard they'll be waiting 2-3hrs, and likely not to arriving in London before 8pm. Is this likely to be true?

[Amy Slack @amyizzylou]

@ILoveCopyright @jenniegouck Hi Melanie! Can I DM you?

If everyone with access to a garden planted just one tree, we'd have a staggering 22 million more trees in the UK, overnight.

If you only have space for one tree, Kate's book will help you find the perfect one – and reveal the magic and power of trees along the way 🌳

[Kate Bradbury 🏳️‍🌈 @Kate_Bradbury]

Extremely excited to announce my new book, The Tree in My Garden, all about wonderful trees, why we should be planting them and how to do it. Illustrated by the enormously talented @LucilleClerc and published by @dkbooks. You can pre-order now: https://t.co/pyJlq2RxW5 🌳

@ElizabethLovatt It's so good! Apparently it started life as an essay collection/non-fic project, and it boggles my mind a bit that he reworked it so perfectly into a novella.
