Thissssss ❤️ 👇🏻 ❤️ What a generous way to be in the world...
Someone was always on the right side of the issue before I was, which reminds me not to mock people who got on the right side after me. I'm happy we figured it out whenever.

Still thinking about Tommy Mishima's drawings of Andrew Carnegie's philanthropy in education, science, cultural institutions and the like. Installed in his former home office at the Cooper-Hewitt. It was helpful (depressing?) to see this examination of the networks of the robber barons of yore.

The Clip-On Method holds pride of place on my bookshelves. It's true--Cady got it.
i had @betatronic.bsky.social's essay open for days and finally got to finish it, he seems like the first person to have actually read her 2-vol catalogue, and I'm afraid he's right about Cady Noland our Dark Prophet greg.org/archive/2025...

D'awww thanks @baevido.bsky.social ! Dean Sameshima is such an incredible artist!
I love this quote from @andycampy.bsky.social on the series: “Because the connect-the-dot designs are left unconnected, they function as spaces for imaginative and wild projection […] The numbers on this field of erotic possibility are always becoming, and bristling with potential”.

I *totally* trust Rubio's lead on this 🙄On the one hand, happy to hear PEPFAR resumes work. On the other hand, the instability bred by the incompetence of people with power is of no comfort. Like, at all. And is likely the point.
State Department Permits Distribution of H.I.V. Medications to Resume — for Now
Experts fear a resurgence of infections in low-income countries if the ban were to continue. The waiver remains in place, while officials review foreign aid programs.

A rebuttal to the wrongheaded, outrage-fueled misreading of the NPG installation of Felix Gonzalez-Torres's "Untitled" Portrait of Ross in L.A., 1991-- disappointed to see queer folks taking the bait as HIV/AIDS funding is slashed and denigrated here + around the world. Calibrate your energies.
ok, just got back from the National Portrait Gallery where Felix Gonzalez Torres and Walt Whitman are presented as linked and related and constantly changing, but also as exemplars of queer caring. See the installation and wall texts here greg.org/archive/2025...

I spent too much time this morning looking through all the recent executive orders and here are my (glib) summaries. I know some are saving their energies for other things (rightly so) but so many of these are W.I.L.D.
