"Introducing TBReaders Next Book: The Underdream." The cover of The Underdream by Aiyana Masla. "A reckoning with what it means to slow down — these poems inquire into the necessity of doing so; for our bodies and for the earth. Written while healing from active pulmonary Tuberculosis, The Underdream is at once intimate with death, while also raw with desire to keep living in these temporary bodies, alive, alive, alive." TBReaders Book Club logo. tbfighters.org/book-club
On 9/18, #TBReaders is starting The Underdream by Aiyana Masla, a brilliantly poignant collection of poems written while Masla was recovering from #Tuberculosis . Order it at www.aiyanamasla.com/... or request it at your local library! tbfighters.org/book-...

If you didn't make it to #TBHillDay this year, you can still talk to your reps locally or virtually! TBFighter Caroline set up a meeting with the office of Senator Mike Lee of Utah and was accompanied by Lindsay from @PIH.org! The Senator's staff applauded our work and were very receptive.

Hope it was a good one
I'm doing alright now. Just a very bad morning, haha. Thanks for asking!
My body: "oh no!! We're in pain!"
Me: takes action to remedy that pain
My body: actually, you know what would solve this problem? Fainting and falling on our head 🤠
Thank you to @neal.house.gov , @repmcgovern.bsky.social, @pressley.house.gov, @lynch.house.gov, and @keating.house.gov for signing the #TB Dear Colleague letter! Just waiting on @trahan.house.gov, @repauchincloss.bsky.social, @whipkclark.bsky.social, and @moulton.house.gov to complete the MA set!
