This is disgusting.
Ronald Reagan refused to acknowledge the AIDS crisis. Even refused to help his "friend from the Hollywood days" Rock Hudson.
George W. Bush waited 7 years to recognize World AIDS Day.
And now we are back to a POS GOP POTUS who will ignore it.

So Labor and the Liberals teamed up to pass legislation to give police the power to recommend cancellation of Centrelink payments of people who have not been found guilty of a crime by a court of law. It’s discriminatory financial punishment of people in poverty who are already over-policed

4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day.
On popular request, I shall now recreate the livetweet thread from that day
So gather around children, for this is the tale of The Rice Truck Saga

So I'm currently making my way through the PSX Square RPG - Racing Lagoon.
The silliest thing I'm enjoying at the moment is that my car brand is Lev, which means every time I look at my car I think of Void Stranger.
I'm weird. :P
