And for World AIDS Day today, I’m reposting this important, sensitive, and profound essay. We all had, and have, our lists of love.
For World AIDS Day, which is Dec. 1 and which is being ignored by the Trump administration because they dislike the World Health Organization, other countries, science, and queer people, I'm reposting a piece I wrote earlier this year. (They also hate history.) www.vulture.com/article/hiv-...
The List Keepers
The AIDS crisis shattered Broadway, and the scope of the loss has never been fully accounted for. Some kept their own records.

Ravens imitate the voice of their person so since this guy has a deep voice, so does his raven. Edgar’s raven might have sounded creepy like this.

@catsofyore.bsky.social I am endlessly charmed by the fact that in the 1920s and 30s my family was taking almost as many photos of their cats as I do now with a smartphone

If you have ADHD and have trouble getting to sleep, try drinking a stimulant like coffee before bed.
The idea is you stimulate the brain out of deficit, so instead of it trying to manufacture dopamine, it can rest.

I took stimulants, drank a coffee, and had an energy drink so now it's time to pass out because ADHD is A TRIP.

I just taught a friend my personal St. Anthony spell for finding a lost item:
1
Take a $20 bill and put it in a different part of your wallet
2
Tell St. Anthony that you will give that bill to the first person who asks for money after your missing item returns
3
Keep your promise

Anthony is famous throughout the world as the saint who helps to find lost objects: everyday items, important documents, even the faith itself.
