I love being in my late 30s so much. I love not giving a shit about being famous or successful anymore. I love prioritizing being comfortable, and being around people who love me.
Could do without the aching joints and looming perimenopause, but everything else? Golden.

Henry Ford was a terrible human being, but at least he understood that the economy would be unworkable and unsustainable unless the workers who made Model T's were paid enough to buy Model T's.
If you want people to spend more, pay them more.

Imagine if Regan had stayed an actor. Imagine if AIDS had been handled like a major public health emergency instead of disregarded as “gay cancer.” Imagine how many people could still be alive. Now imagine how many of them might be in public office.

I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
Many of my friends had died of AIDS. I did not expect to live to 50.
I’m 58 now.
HIV treatment works.
Treatment also makes it impossible for me to pass HIV on during sex.
Ensure HIV treatment for all.
End HIV stigma.

OU has put the professor here on administrative leave:
