I don't need a great job or a ton of money. I don't need the adventures I used to go on. I don't need to go back to being young or skinny, as if I ever could. I don't even need to be healthy. It might never happen.
I just need people. Check on your friends. More than anything, we need people.

Thing is, my brother had to take me to a medical procedure out of town.
And lounging in our respective hotel beds, watching a funny anime, & revealing secrets about who we hooked up with back in hs, I'm reminded that all I need to stay alive is this. This is a good reason to stay alive.

I'll be brutally honest. Highly invasive, specific thoughts of killing myself have plagued me in 2025. Daily, nightly, never ceasing & soul crushing, I slog through them. I go to therapy, I journal, but I'm alone so much, and my brain lies to me when it's quiet.
It's always quiet.

This is an actual miracle made possible by science. Thank you to the scientists, and especially to the incredible gay men who put their lives on the line for decades to test preventative measures, treatments, and possible cures.

The Food and Drug Administration has approved the world’s only twice-a-year shot to prevent HIV. In two groundbreaking studies, Gilead Sciences’ shot nearly eliminated new infections in people at high risk of HIV.

Jeff Bezos is worth $230 billion and is reportedly spending $20 million on a three-day wedding in Venice while sailing around on his $500 million yacht. If he can afford to do that, he can afford a wealth tax and to pay Amazon workers a living wage. Hello?

I had SO much fun talking with Alyssa about how I am translating a hyper-online platform to a successful grassroots campaign and the best ways to use the right’s words against itself.

![But more than which district she lives in, there's also the question of where she spends her time (online) and how (or if) that will translate to real-world action or appeal to real-world voters. Political strategist and Chicagoan Kitty Kurth recently suggested that Abughazaleh's ability to get TikTok views won't translate to votes at the polls,
telling the Chicago Tribune in the aforementioned article that "it's about
knowing how to organize volunteers...you need someone who knows how to recruit
volunteers and what to do with volunteers once you get them, and how to run a field operation. I don't know that [Abughazaleh] has worked in a political organization, volunteered on a campaign, or knows what it's like to run a petition drive."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ats4shmeia7i7ildqm3denmd/bafkreietzzhkjq5lsbztv6sxlkg3f4tzu5agc2qfvb7dhu2bzocndfjvoe@jpeg)

The thing about the Khalil case is that it's very very good that he's free now but you can't have it take three months between "the government kidnaps you off the street for no basis reason whatsoever" and "a judge makes them let you go." You just can't.

The pleasure of writing something you’re proud of only comes from the struggle of having to write a lot of things you aren’t particularly proud of. And some days you’ll feel so good while you’re writing, and other days you’ll feel horrible. That’s writing AND being a human.

As someone who has wanted to be a writer from the earliest point I can remember, I resent the act of writing a lot. Because it’s extremely fucking hard and time-consuming and painful and oftentimes thankless. But that’s what you sign up for when you decide to write. There are no shortcuts.

Listen. The only way you can become a good writer is by being a shitty writer and doing it anyways. You can’t magically become a good writer by having a machine do some of the work for you. That just makes you a fraud.

If Democrats truly want to appeal to young men, they should probably start presenting themselves as the party that definitively *won’t* draft you into an illegal war.

White people need to devote more time to shaming each other. Remind your sister that her political choices produce tangible harm, making her a bad person. Let her know that no amount of deflection can change the fact that her soul is rotting inside her chest, desperate for a less bile-filled cavity.
