A heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported us on Mandela Day. You have enabled us to send 176 books to children in hospital + 176 books are being sent to the donors to pay it forward. Here's to many more children owning books, thanks to you!

@Heckitty I’m about to leave Leeloo for a month. She only just forgave me for visiting Cape Town last December.

@GlennonDoyle This is an actual tear of joy on the inside lens of my glasses from how hard I scream-cry-laughed during this episode.

I wouldn't say "novelist's campaign" so much as a "global multiyear campaign by TB activists belatedly joined by a novelist," but still: More coverage of the deal between GDF and @JNJNews: https://t.co/alAqObQMFw

This from Dr. Mitnick, Harvard professor and one of the world's leading TB researchers. So @jnjnews, if you could take just a couple more steps and...
- Commit to this new deal with GDF in perpetuity
- Provide the list of countries that can access bedaquiline through this deal
And then you can be my best friend. Really. And I'm a good best friend! I'll never let you pay for dinner.

[Tarryn-Anne Anderson @tarrynosaurus]

I'm thrilled about the life-saving possibilities, and also really glad I can keep buying Listerine! @JNJNews - you guys are heroes. #PatientsNotPatents #thankyoujnj

[Harjot Kaur @harjotkaur29]

@johngreen ridiculously inspiring to witness advocacy that saves six million lives. #thankyoujnj

[🐢🐢🐢John Green🐢🐢🐢 @johngreen]

!!!!!!!!!!!!! @JNJNews, THANK YOU for choosing #PatientsNotPatents. Takes real guts to live up to your credo. Generic bedaquiline WILL BE AVAILABLE in almost every country with a high tuberculosis burden. I am so happy and grateful to the Stop TB Partnership, J&J, and especially the activists around the world who are standing up for TB patients. So much more work to do, but WHAT WONDERFUL NEWS TO WAKE UP TO.

[Tarryn-Anne Anderson @tarrynosaurus]

Hey, @JNJNews. It's been a tough day for you, I know. Poetry helps, so here's a poem I love by @andreagibson

"that's how I found you—
lifting the spirits of everyone around
like a hot air balloon
just from the way you burned
to be a better person today
than you were the day before.
Burning to be better is my favourite quality on anyone, and you are on fire"

I hope you burn to be better tomorrow, @JNJNews. We're all rooting for you. #PatientsNotPatents

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.

I just finished this book and OMG you must go read it.

[Tarryn-Anne Anderson @tarrynosaurus]

20% of the way into #girlsoflittlehope by @beckbessinger and @JoeyHiFi and so far it is 🔥🔥🔥

The teenage girlie vibes have transported me back to my own neon green and purple bedroom, and for some reason I suddenly feel like I must locate a pair of rip-off converse to draw on?

Also, I don’t know what happened in those woods yet, but 😰

@hankgreen Maya Angelou’s words come to my mind often: “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.”
