"Remember when everyone was trying to say #EBV reactivation was the cause of #LongCovid?

I have some really f***ing bad news for you. EBV reactivation was at one time considered as a cause of #AIDS also."

this is why our community will always suck no matter what platform it is on.
We made what you asked for, and we made it affordable- and no one else has stepped up and matched us in terms of cost or transparency.

Inexplicably, many of you have never forgiven us this insult. The attacks have been relentless from day one, all centered on who we are- not our work.

many have been disenfranchised by the policies of both parties. want to blame someone? look in the mirror
To me, if you didn't vote, you voted for Trump.
68% of voting age Americans did not vote for Trump. Let’s remember this when we get all “Americans are getting what they voted for”

It’s December 1st and we should all pay homage to Rosa Parks today. On this day in 1955 she decided not to give her seat up on a bus in Alabama, and well the rest is history. We are all going to need to channel our Rosa Park’s for the next four years! Thank you Rosa for showing us how to #Resist

sometimes it just hits me that most never-been-poor people believe in their heart of hearts that poor people just don’t work very hard, or aren’t very smart

i like parody accounts, they just need to be marked as such to avoid confusion.
So glad Bluesky is cracking down on impersonators and parody accounts.

NOTE: Since no one can prove God is real, I am therefore not an impersonation or a parody.

Hi, I’m God.

On this World AIDS Day, I remember my tío Cano.

He passed August 1991, two months before I was born. He lived an all-too brief life, my queer Puerto Rican ancestor, but his memory guides me, lifts me.

There is a statue of Turing in Sackville Gardens here in Manchester. You can sit with him on his bench and talk to him.

Thousands will gather by his statue tomorrow night at 6pm for our World AIDS Day Vigil.

FACT OF THE DAY. 30 November 1936. Alan Turing’s research paper, On Computable Numbers, was published in 2 issues of the Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society on 30 November, and 23 December 1936. It proposed the creation of a universal (computer) machine.

Alan Turing, a brilliant gay man whose brilliance did not protect him from the legalised homophobic persecution, that ultimately resulted in his death.

I was diagnosed with HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
Many of my friends had died but I was told, with the new drugs available, I could expect to live another 20 years.
That was 27 years ago.

Honour those we lost.
Celebrate that we can now treat and prevent HIV.
Make HIV stigma history.

A 🧵 on #AIDS in the 80s/90s:
I was 15 when I first had sex with a man.
I’d snuck off to London’s Heaven nightclub with the express intent of ridding myself of my ‘gay virginity’, a goal I achieved easily with a visiting American photographer.

Make it unsafe for them to be openly in any public space
heartwarming story for the holidays ❤️‍🔥

“…the neo-Nazis told police they had never experienced a response like the one they received in Columbus. They said people pulled guns on them and threw cans and vegetables as they marched... One of the officers noted the men were ‘covered in’ pepper spray.”

I'm not familiar enough with this platform to do #MutualAid boosting here yet, but I'm still running threads at the other place. And @bfitzinar.bsky.social started here today I believe.
