It never stops being weird watching homophobes dance to YMCA, the most popular gay anthem of all time.

@lucifur666.bsky.social has deemed me worthy.

I just want to hear more about his ‘magical’ friend that no one else has actually seen or heard from except that one dude in Rome (that dresses in drag) 🌈🦄💄💃

Feel guilt, it builds character. Feel weakness, it builds strength. Feel fear, it builds courage. However, if you allow yourself to only feel without building or perseverance to build further, you'll fester in the rot of apathy or compliance. The world may fail but you shouldn't fail yourself.

No one should die a horrific death from AIDS, we have the drugs to treat it! Last year 630K ppl died and another 1.3M acquired HIV. AIDS is not a thing of the past, and continues to disproportionately affect women of colour. Governments and BigPharma need to do better. #AIDS #WAD24 #HIV #U=U
AIDS is still a political crisis.

On my recent trip with PsychsOnBikes I caught Jack Field (World Freestlye Trials Champion) mid show for a mens health check. His BP was spot on despite his heart racing at 160BPM. Jack was more concerned about his mate Billy Goat (Billy Gough) who he had just been bunny hopping all over. #menshealth

HIV has changed for the better thanks to advances in medication, but AIDS is not over because many people in developing countries still cannot access lifesaving antiretroviral treatment. #WorldAIDSDay

What they said… #WAD #U=U #HIV #FuckStigma
It’s World AIDS Day so remember U=U, HIV positive does not mean “dirty”, and don’t be a cunt. 🫶

Despite incredible advances made in the treatment of #HIV, there is still far too much stigma and misinformation surrounding the subject.

Here are five facts about HIV which are vital to understanding this #WorldAIDSDay

While #WorldAIDSDay was yesterday in 🇦🇺, just wanted to send some love and support to those who we have lost, those who barely survived and celebrate those who are now flourishing thanks to modern anti-virals. Science>Stigma #WAD #U=U #HIV #NoH8

Early diagnosis + consistent antiretroviral therapy = long, healthy lives for people living with HIV. 💊️

Achieving an undetectable viral load means ZERO risk of transmission.
