So Johnson & Johnson's patent on the life-saving TB drug bedaquiline is about to expire and they're STILL trying to extend it via a loophole, preventing more affordable generic brand versions of the drug from being produced, for another 4 years.
In those 4 year, millions of people will die due to lack of access and affordability.
Please submit an ethics report to J&J via:

And signal boost everywhere else you can.

Delicious fruit grown in the northern pacific northwest at a small intentional community I used to live at. We get free fruit from them every year and they always have so much surplus.
This 1 acre property is essentially a giant food forest with tiny homes built almost entirely from reclaimed building materials. Rent is very cheap and people living here grow a lot of their own food for part of the year, share basic supplies and coordinate child care.
Local zoning laws make this kind of thing illegal in most of the surrounding areas, but I believe that these types of properties are necessary for the future of housing, food security, and ecological stability.
Shout out to "the berry farm", you are loved 💕
