Got a CD player and dug out music I have not heard in ages. Listening to "In a Flash" - still gives me chills! I remember the goosebumps I got the first time I heard Kimbo play live. Before sitting at the piano, he apologized for his stiff fingers having come from a protest, before absolutely flooring the room.
Protest singer sings again
Aboriginal singer Kimbo has been playing the blues since the 1970s, giving a voice to Taiwan's disenfranchised and dispossessed. His first album, made after more than 30 years in the business, is now set for release

Another ‘how to do it’ good news public health story, for the US & other countries to learn from *if they want to*: “Egypt eliminated hepatitis C for a cost to the government of roughly $45 per person treated. The United States plan costs more than 10 times that per person and takes 5 times as long. The gap reflects a fragmented insurance system, uneven Medicaid coverage, restrictive prior authorization and the absence of a national setup that connects screening, confirmation and treatment in one visit.
“The results from Taiwan show that an effective health system and a modest budget can push hepatitis C to the edge of extinction in five years. It confirms that the seven steps in our roadmap describe not a theory but a working plan. It has already been tested in Egypt, Georgia and Pakistan, and is now being tested in central Taiwan. What is missing in the United States is not the science. It is the decision to build one connected system, pay for it and finish the job.”

Cooking Up Democracy is a beautiful movie about #democracy, #lgbtqiaplus and activism in #Taiwan.
I saw it at Berlin's #Queerfilmfestival.The documentary felt very true to my everyday experience, including meeting queer people and allies at events and in community spaces. So good!!! I'll rewatch it to note down its ideas about democratic participation, civic engagement and thriving even when your rights are being threatened. It felt serious but refreshing.

"Bamboo Lattice" for #ForestFriday
Bamboo is a grass (Poaceae family, the "true grasses") but I guess to every bug on the ground, grass looks just a forest. 😁 Bamboo's a bigger grass, and we're just bigger bugs. :)

Finally booked the first three nights in #Taiwan - would have taken four as well, but it's #Taipei marathon weekend, so prices for the weekend are quite high.
In the end opted for a hotel in Gongguan, which is a district familiar to me from my long stay in Guting. Love being close to the river for #running and getting rid of jetlag.
My halfmarathon it going to be near #Taitung but I don't know yet where to spend the week until that run. Guess I decide depending on the weather.
