This World AIDS Day, we remember the hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers lost to HIV and AIDS, and those living with HIV today. We must remind ourselves and each other that the fight isn’t over until the epidemic is over for everyone.

I’ve never won a break up but I’ve never lost one either. While this is literally a break-up letter, it’s more about narcissistic behaviors in the artistic community

i cannot believe that “mamdani calls a close adult relative an ‘aunt’ even if they are not literally their parent’s sister” is what counts as a “scandal” these days

It could’ve been such an impactful album. Imagine how “I protect the family” could’ve been taken if it was about defending queer+trans folk. Imagine how eldest daughter could’ve been about the weight of being a woman right now in this climate. Instead we got a sh*tty album with bad AAVE.

I found out my hidden album deleted all of my ~spicy~ pictures pre-this year so now I’m thinking about reaching out to my exes like “Look I know you still have the pics and I’m not mad. I just want you to send them to me for archival reasons to show how I wasted my hot years on y’all.”

A good friend told me a few weeks ago: "I thought I would be different under fascism but I'm just the exact same person and it's profoundly disappointing to me." I think this is a more widespread view than is publicly discussed. I think that disappointment in ourselves is morphing into negativity.

📢 Vaccines DO NOT cause autism
Love it when a writer breaks down data in a digestible, clear, and easy to understand way.
And especially when the writer then obliterates junk-science writers still pushing dangerous myths. 🔥

Mamdani has a nearly 20 point lead over the rest of the field, but his poor showing with gay ultraorthodox baby boomers hints at political weakness.

You don't have to finish a book that doesn't interest you. Life's too short for that. Not your jam? You have my permission to move on to the next book.

FYI - There is a huge discussion on Threads about the number of Black truck drivers who are being found lynched in NC. The Black truckers are telling every driver to refuse the jobs in NC.

This is a post about fat phobia 👀
Couple years ago, a (thin) friend found out she was pre-diabetic and came to me to ask for tips…because she assumed I was too, based on my weight 🙃
I cannot express the sheer joy I felt when I said “All I eat is vegetables b*tch. I’m not pre-diabetic.”
