#illness — Public Fediverse posts

2/Aging, without a person aging.

Aging, as an organic process of what we call the body.

Aging, without the belief that I am the body, without sadness.

Aging, in what is Aware and beyond time.

Death, as a thought in unchanging, aware Presence.

Death, as a concept that appears in life, just like the concept of birth.

Death, as a story about a body, without added stories of death of a self.

Death as an idea about the future, and a reminder that all there is, is NOW.

-- Kat (Katrijn) Van Oudheusdem

Okay, I feel a lot better after eating and getting more rest. Still not feeling 💯 though. I really don’t want to have whatever virus my parents got. They cough a lot and my mom lost her voice. I live in the same house and it’s small so it’s hard to avoid their germs.

Book of the Month: Everything is Tuberculosis by John Green

This is a fantastic book by John Green, published in March 2025 and we picked up a signed copy at the Wellcome Museum in London back in October 2025. We finally got round to reading it this week, with its slight 208 pages offering a very moving historical record of one of humanity’s deadliest diseases.

Everything is Tuberculosis explores how the illness has shaped human history, from the arts through to medicine and beyond, with Green arguing the condition is primarily caused by human choices (rather than bacteria). Lets explore its compassionate pages here.

Everything is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection

“The world we share is a product of all the worlds we used to share. For me at least, the history and present of tuberculosis reveal the folly and brilliance and cruelty and compassion of humans. My wife, Sarah, often jokes that in my mind everything is about tuberculosis, and tuberculosis is about everything. She’s right.”

We got a TB jab 30+ years ago and tuberculosis hasn’t played on our minds much since. It feels like a disease of “the past”, even though it continues to kill over a million people annually. But there is a cure, unfortunately some people just don’t have access to that cure.

When we were growing up TB kept cropping in things we were interested in. One of our favourite writers, George Orwell, died of it in 1950 aged only 46. And in the cult classic film Ravenous (1999) the character Colqhuon (Robert Carlyle) recovers from the condition by resorting to cannibalism.

There’s an entire chapter in Everything is Tuberculosis dedicated to creative people who died of the condition. As during the 18th century, the illness was associated with creative genius. Stupidly, of course, as a lot of people got TB and some of them were always going to have a creative streak.

Some of the famous names who died due to TB include Emily Brontë, John Keats, Franz Kafka, Anton Chekov, Molière,  and Frédéric Chopin. The disease was particularly associated with Romanticism.

There’s also the great Japanese poet Masaoka Shiki (1867-1902), a haiku master who was still penning new prose just hours before his death. Although he died aged 34, he wrote over 20,000 stanzas. This was one of his last.

Pain from coughing,
the long night’s lame flame,
small as a pea.

Tuberculosis is also a horrible disease. It was called consumption for a long time as it caused patients to waste away under its ordeals, become emaciated and skeletal in the process.

This often lent a pale, red-cheeked look that, in the Victorian era, society viewed as a sign of beauty (so other people, not even with TB, would often try to replicate the gaunt look). Yes, then, the pale and haggard look of people nearing death was viewed as attractive.

But this is not a condition you want to get.

“M. tuberculosis is a near-perfect human predator in par because it moves so slowly. The bacteria has an uncommonly slow growth rate. While E. Coli can double in number about every twenty minutes in a laboratory environment, M. tuberculosis doubles only about once per day. And so infections simply take much, much longer to make an infected person sick, as the number of bacteria remains lower, allowing the immune system lots of time to mount a defense against the pathogen.

But there’s a problem: M. tuberculosis grows so slowly because it takes a long time to build its unusually fatty, thick cell wall, which is a formidable enemy to the immune system. White blood cells struggle to penetrate the cell wall and kill the bacteria from within. In fact, it’s so hard for infection-fighting cells to penetrate the bacteria’s cell what that, instead, white blood cells usually surround it, creating a call of calcifying tissue known as a tubercle.”

And so for many hundreds of years, TB was a bit like leprosy. Something of a feared disease that could get you cast out of society, but also had that strange creative element attached to it.

But this was an era when death was just very common.

“Before vaccination, C-sections, infection control, and antibiotics, the death of children was routine. About half of all humans ever born died before the age of five. Child death was so common that it had to be acknowledged as natural. And so the acceptable times to die in much of the premodern world were 1. Early childhood, or 2. Late in adulthood.

But tuberculosis has long been known for sickening and killing those between twenty and forty-five, during the one period of life when you were supposed to be relatively insulated from illness and death.”

This was a book we bought randomly in October 2025 based on its cover. We like yellow, we love the Wellcome Museum in London, so we picked up a copy as what the hey.

It’s one of those lucky moments as Everything is Tuberculosis is a fine work. It’s tragic, inspired, at times funny, and highlights the precariousness of life on this Earth. It’s only in the last 50 years or so across all of human history that we’ve more or less banished this disease from western society.

Roy Porter’s excellent 2002 work Blood and Guts: A Short History of Medicine reminded us of that, too. How lucky we’ve been to exist in the last half century, coinciding with some actual proper medical understanding.

As in England, if someone you knew got TB tomorrow that’d be considered really bizarre.

Yet, for a long time it was the norm and, for some people, almost a desirable thing. As within that suffering, people penned poetry and are remembered to this day for it. That romantic concept of a tortured genius again.

And a Bit About the Writer John Green

John Green is a American author and YouTuber most famous for his 2012 book The Fault in Our Stars Adapted into a film in 2014). He’s also hosted the innovative podcast/non-fiction book The Anthropocene Reviewed from 2018-2021.

For over a decade, he’s been a major global health advocate and is a trustee for Partners in Health. Everything is Tuberculosis has a big focus on Sierra Leone and its poverty crisis, with one individual called Henry documented throughout the work.

Green met Henry when he was 17, but the nature of TB meant he looked like a young boy. Happily, Henry was able to get a proper treatment regime and is alive and well.

But the book really did make it clear to us how lucky we’ve been. How diseases like TB that seem to belong in a past age are, in fact, still causing havoc across less fortunate regions of the world. Sierra Leone is so poverty stricken as the British Empire designed a railroad system to get all accumulated wealth out of the country as fast as possible. The pernicious nature of that system is still felt to this day.

Due to Green’s status, Everything is Tuberculosis was a hit and topped the New York Times bestsellers list, remaining in the list for some 23 weeks.

For #Indigenous communities in ‘#Alberta,’ the #OilIndustry has left an ugly stain

Facing #OilSpills, evacuations and #illness — nations downstream of the #OilSands grieve their way of life, as the #corporations polluting their water get richer

By Brandi Morin, December 7, 2023

Excerpt: "The rush of the wind and sprays of water add to the thrill as Jason Castor guides his riverboat through a stretch of #LakeAthabasca near #FortChipewyan, in #Treaty8 territories. If he slows down, his boat could get stuck in the mud or even flip over because the water levels in this spot are remarkably low. He steers around buoys, dodges logs and other debris while accelerating to the mouth of the channel, which he knows should be deep enough to navigate at an average speed.

"While trawling his boat further down the river, Castor points to odd-looking clusters resembling dirty foam floating by.

" 'There’s just a slurry of a foam that looks like #oil or some kind of #chemical in there,' says Castor, a 42-year-old father, construction business owner and member of the #AthabascaChipewyan #FirstNation (#ACFN).

"He’s been a traditional hunter, trapper and fisherman for nearly 20 years and has documented strange changes in the water, the land and animals.

"Something’s going on in the river, he says.

" 'They say that it’s natural, well, I know that that’s not natural because I’ve been on the river my whole life,' he explains as he points to brown and #WhiteFoam, #OilSheens and other discoloured formations floating on the river.

"Nowadays, it’s risky to navigate these waterways because of industrial intakes like the #WACBennettDam to the west in B.C.; the #AlbertaOilSands just up the river and impacts from #ClimateChange.

"The #PeaceAthabascaDelta is the second-largest #freshwater delta in the world.

"The #AthabascaRiver, and the larger delta, also sit atop the world’s largest known reservoir of #CrudeBitumen.

"The industry that has sprung up around it drives Alberta’s and Canada’s economy, employing about 138,000 people. In 2021, crude bitumen production totaled approximately 3.3 million barrels per day. The oil sands energy sector including oil sands, conventional #OilAndGas, mining and quarrying is valued at about $18 billion.

"But while Canada prospers off the oil sands industry, #Indigenous communities downstream are dealing with its #toxic impacts.

"Not only are the water levels fluctuating, but the health of the water flowing through the Athabasca River is jeopardized."

A quotation from C W Leadbeater

Sometimes people grieve when they find old age coming upon them, when they find their vehicles not so strong as they used to be. They desire the strength and the faculties that they once had. It is wise for them to repress that desire, to realize that their bodies have done good work, and if they can no longer do the same amount as of yore, they should do gently and peacefully what they can, but not worry themselves over the change. Presently they will have new bodies; and the way to ensure a good vehicle is to make such use as one can of the old one, but in any case to be serene and calm and unruffled. The only way to do that is to forget self, to let all selfish desires cease, and to turn the thought outward to the helping of others as far as one’s capabilities go.

C. W. Leadbeater (1846-1934) English clergyman, theosophist, author [Charles Webster Leadbeater]
The Masters and the Path, ch. 14 (1925)

A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

In his infinite goodness, God invented rheumatism and gout and dyspepsia, cancers and neuralgia, and is still inventing new diseases. Not only this, but he decreed the pangs of mothers, and that by the gates of love and life should crouch the dragons of death and pain. Fearing that some might, by accident, live too long, he planted poisonous vines and herbs that looked like food. He caught the serpents he had made and gave them fangs and curious organs, ingeniously devised to distill and deposit the deadly drop. He changed the nature of the beasts, that they might feed on human flesh. He cursed a world, and tainted every spring and source of joy. He poisoned every breath of air; corrupted even light, that it might bear disease on every ray; tainted every drop of blood in human veins; touched every nerve, that it might bear the double fruit of pain and joy; decreed all accidents and mistakes that maim and hurt and kill, and set the snares of life-long grief, baited with present pleasure, — with a moment’s joy. Then and there he foreknew and foreordained all human tears. And yet all this is but the prelude, the introduction, to the infinite revenge of the good God. Increase and multiply all human griefs until the mind has reached imagination’s farthest verge, then add eternity to time, and you may faintly tell, but never can conceive, the infinite horrors of this doctrine called “The Fall of Man.”

Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, freethinker, orator
Lecture (1884-01-20), “Orthodoxy,” Tabor Opera House, Denver, Colorado

A quotation from Horace

Let the man who has acquired Enough not ask for MORE.
A house and acreage, a pile of bronze and gold coins,
Have never been able to lower the sick man’s fever
Or drive out his worries. The proprietor must be well
If he plans to enjoy the good things he’s gathered together.
 
[Quod satis est cui contingit, nihil amplius optet.
Non domus et fundus, non aeris acervus et auri
Aegroto doniini deduxit corpore febres,
on animo curas; valeat possessor oportet,
Si conpertatis rebus bene cogitat uti.]

Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 1, ep. 2 “To Lollius,” l. 46ff (1.2.46-50) (14 BC) [tr. Palmer Bovie (1959)]
