It's a John Green book, so I will like it. I mean, I do actually like his stuff, and also being a nerdfighter for so long gives me a lot of positive bias towards his work.

It is genuinely a good book though. He tells the story of his friend Henry, who I've heard about before given how long he's been talking about this for. And it's compelling.

I, like a normal person, would like people to not die needlessly. And it's just kinda hard to read this, see how John wants to tell a story of hope and perserverance and how we have constructed this evil and so we can deconstruct it, and like. Since this book's release, the fascist governemnt has decided on my behalf that some amount of my pocket change is worth letting excess millions die of curable disease.

And it sucks, because I don't know really what I can do about it. I would like to be more involved in my community and push for changes but like, I come home from work, eat some dinner real quick, take a shower, look at the clock wistfully and go to bed. I don't have tons of spare change so who can I donate to? I know that this is a big crisis and that I need to do something, I just have no idea what it is that I can bring to the situation.

Umm... yeah. Everthing is TB. It's fun seeing how many things are impacted by this sickness, how many ways people have adapted to live around it. How, if you give us enough time, we will figure out how to solve any problem that impacts us.
