All 50,000 panels of the National AIDS Memorial Quilt has been fully digitized.

You can search Duane's name and see the panel he made. And someone else made a panel for him, too.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

It’s #WorldAIDSDay - Did you know sanitation and barriers are industry standard in tattooing because Cliff Raven, a gay tattooer from Chicago, made sure he could still provide service to his own community as most shops refused to tattoo homosexuals when the AIDS crisis emerged?

Today is World AIDS Day, a day that reminds me of the decades-long fight for dignity, science, and compassion. We’ve come so far because activists, researchers, and communities refused to be ignored.

Your daily reminder that nature exists around you, especially where you live. Go out and learn about the plants and animals that are your neighbors. You'll be surprised by how much goes on around you.

I bought smart lights that can change color and brightness for my sister ever since she sent me studies about how green lights can help migraines and she really likes them! 😊

Hello, it's the official start of the Christmas season (probably) and so we must impart a message:

Please be kind and patient with retail workers across the season (and in general, really, but especially this time of year). It's not an easy place to be, and kindness will go a long way.

I wish I knew where my digital camera went, another bad habit of mine is that I squirrel stuff away to "tidy up" and then never remember where the hell I put it. I want to go on a walk while it's nice and sunny but my phone is low on battery and I know I'll want to take photos. 😔

Election Day is Tuesday, December 2 for the Tennessee special election in congressional district 7. Vote Tuesday 💙
There are flyers circulating and even mailers showing up in people’s mailboxes in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District that list the wrong date for the upcoming special election. Voters are being told to vote on the incorrect day.

I'm sad that I really do feel like I "outgrew" fandom. Though not even willingly, more like IRL stuff got too big and overwhelming that it took over my brain space. Instead of reading fic or drawing to decompress, I just watch some extreme budget cooking videos or Swedish death cleaning videos. :(

It's actually been really easy for me to join in on the boycotts and just not buy anything for Black Friday because I've been too lazy to go anywhere, and then I've got a dentist appointment on Cyber Monday anyway. What I did instead was take luxurious baths and bake anise seed biscotti.

We are actually doing something. DON'T STOP CALLING.
Morale at paypros call centers is in the toilet right now. It’s not just normal Black Friday stress, they’re being pounded. Corporate is pressuring bosses to end the paypros call campaigns. Source familiar w/ internals at MC stressed that folks should stand their ground but be kind to agents (1)

Apparently not all of the new, lowercase pyrex is the tempered glass that explodes in the oven, some are the borosilicate glass like the old kind... but now I don't know if I trust it.

Is there any way for us regular folk to make a concerted effort to pressure his issuing state's medical board to revoke his license or something?
This is essentially Vinay Prasad, who has an MD, declaring his intent to use the government to torture children to dead via preventable disease by knowingly withholding the cure.

To call this despicable is an understatement.
Vinay Prasad of the FDA claims that he has proof that 10 children died from COVID19 vaccines, so the FDA will now target flu shots, look at whether people should receive multiple vaccines at the same time, and make the vaccine approval process significantly more difficult.

Uninstalling more socmed apps off my phone, this time with instagram since I kept being on it so much before bed that it was disrupting my sleep and draining my phone's battery so bad. I'm shooting for totally deactivating it before the 16th of December when their privacy policy changes.

I was worried because I've been seeing warnings about people getting quietly cut off of disability and medicaid, but not sure if that's true for my state/insurance. I checked my status and I'm relieved that's not the case for me, but still feeling like it's only a matter of time... 😰
