She was comely in a way that felt both attainable 49.6K views · 168 likes · 44 reposts · 13 replies Open on X →
The singing brilliance, the comedic performance, the sharp comebacks, the effortless flirting. There’s a lot of Dolly Parton’s control of all her wits in this video.

@seyeabimbola @Chikwe_I @DrTedros @gchelwa @CentreHealthSec @pacdev @merusheel @globalhlthtwit @sridhartweet @muneera_rasheed This story follows an all too familiar script. A few paragraphs in and one can easily tell where it will end. A story about a "maverick" do-gooder always 855 views · 5 likes · 3 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →
These two sentences have been on my mind: feeling stupid/dumbfounded when people assume altruistic motives, and more comfortable when people are suspicious. I’m wondering if this is a common pattern of feeling among saviourist global health, development, and humanitarian people.
“How stupid I feel & how unable to reply, when people start to tell me how generous & how altruistic & how fine it is of me to bring the boys to America for education,” Gajdusek reflected in his journal.
“I feel far more comfortable with those who worried, ask me for my real motives & my real purpose.”

He believed that the kuru researchers had failed to address the problem their research was
supposed to resolve.“The white men did not understand how sorcery is embedded in the
system of life,” he said.The kuru epidemic had ended, but premature deaths continued;
according to one count, one in eight children in the eastern highlands died before the age of
five. Scientists had not offered a compelling enough theory of illness to replace the old ones.
“America and the world can brag about the kuru studies and the many, many prizes, but what
was the outcome of those studies?”Luwi asked.“They took a handful of us to America to be
educated, but something could have been done for the community—they built no school, no
clinic, no project for women to be who they can be.” He told me,“They took what they wanted
and left us with an empty bowl.”
