@KristyPuchko umm by the way, Isaac Newton was not played by Bernard Cribbins in Wild Blue Yonder. Might want to fix that?

@minimarker3 @hankgreen very true.
some of them.....
anyway probably best to have 10 of each or something and roll a d10 when it's time.

[Katie Hambor @katiehambor]

@hankgreen I don't have any ideas but I just hope @BrennanLM is there for the Banana Loca again.

Are you familiar with the printer ink business model? Sell a printer for a modest profit because you'll make the real money from forcing people to buy your ink? IT's also known as the razor blade business model.
Danaher sells its diagnostic machines at a small profit and then price gouges for tests--thus denying millions access to affordable, accurate tests for tuberculosis. And then THEY BRAG ABOUT IT TO THEIR SHAREHOLDERS. Just listen to @DanaherCorp CEO Rainer Blair. #PeopleOverProfits

[Katie Hambor @katiehambor]

The GeneXpert test was developed with >$250 million of people’s money. But @CepheidNews & @DanaherCorp pay people back by charging 2-4 times more than what it costs to make these tests. These tests should be affordable for all people who need them. It’s #TimeFor5!

In just 22 hours, 578,000 people have watched this video about Johnson & Johnson's pursuit of secondary patents for bedaquiline and how this will lead to millions being unable to receive curative treatment for tuberculosis. https://t.co/Zy86nQE7lD #PatientsNotPatents @JNJNews

[🐢🐢🐢John Green🐢🐢🐢 @johngreen]

I want to be very clear that no one is SUGGESTING that people will die because Johnson & Johnson is trying to immorally extend their patent on bedaquline an additional 4 years after its 20-year term.

Instead, people are STATING THE FACT that people will die because of Johnson & Johnson trying to immorally extend their patent on bedaquiline an additional 4 years after its 20-year term.

@hankgreen How did you not know the song (that is now stuck in my head, thanks)?

[Katie Hambor @katiehambor]

@dftbaRachel @sportswithjohn @hankgreen Was coming to say this as well haha

[John Green @sportswithjohn]

@hankgreen You're doing great. The idea that illness is a punishment or a metaphor for immorality is a double burden on the ill. I'm glad you're liberating yourself from it, and I hope that one day our systems will acknowledge that the sick are not responsible for the existence of sickness.

I don’t feel bad because I’m lazy.

I don’t feel bad because I’m stressed.

I don’t feel bad because I did something wrong.

I feel bad because I’m sick.

My illness is not a personal failing and I’m taking care of myself (and letting others take care of me) the best I can.

My doctor recently asked me if I felt like I knew how ulcerative colitis works, and I was like, "Doc, I am trillions of cells that have to work together nearly perfectly for me to be not dead. It's not that I don't understand how I'm sick...I don't understand how anyone is well."

@CDisillusion Better make it 42 just to be safe.
