I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
Many of my friends had died of AIDS. I did not expect to live to 50.
I’m 58 now.
HIV treatment works.
Treatment also makes it impossible for me to pass HIV on during sex.
Ensure HIV treatment for all.
End HIV stigma.
#WorldAIDSDay
Me on a candlelit vigil for AIDS in 1987. Me last week. Looking pretty healthy for 58 (28 years living with HIV).

New found appreciation for butterfly photography. They are HARD to predict and keeping focus is brutal. After 2 days with them im putting down my camera(for butterflys) and waiting till next winter season to try and capture some good in flight shots.
A monarch butterfly begins to land on a log and you can see two gnats in the air, nothing is particularly in focus LOL Monarch butterflies on some strawberry, several are in the air and only one is in focus in the air A picture of Monarch butterflies that are wintering on a branch and you can see varying degrees of focus due to the depth of field One butterfly of three in focus in an empty scene in the sky

No #WeAre hashtag, no world leaders marching arm in arm to protest the massacre of 31 journalists in one attack. This is white supremacy in action www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...
Israel attack on Yemeni newspaper was second deadliest on journalists ever recorded
Press freedom group says ‘brutal and unjustified attack’ is deadliest since 2009 Maguindanao massacre in Philippines

were to be around him at any time for any reason due to his habitual sexual harassment and assaults. Frank Miller released one of the most savagely Islamophobic comics of all time, HOLY TERROR, and still works with DC. There are pedophiles, war criminals, confessed sexual predators on staff.

One thing I'll say about DC not only canceling Red Hood, but recalling the first issue and refunding stores for buying it, is that you can still get Neil Gaiman's work through them. They still work with Otto Schmidt. Eddie Berganza worked there for years AFTER the formation of a policy that no women

Gretchen Felker-Martin’s fearlessness is such a stark example of what we need right now. The moment is extraordinary and it’ll demand writers rise to meet it - either we’re saying something worth saying or we’re not. I know which I’d rather be.

It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.

Next time you consider giving DC your money, remember that they'll throw a trans woman to the wolves, but happily employ sex pests and war criminals.

Speaking on this; there's a tumblr post that PERFECTLY explains why TERFs have 'so much reach', and folk need to see it.

Stop engaging with TERFS, block them, and get them offline. Likewise, report *their* harmful comments.

Organise and be smart.
Screenshot of a tumblr post by user khazrablood. It shows another screenshot from twitter/X by @advocate.com, stating; "Outcry grows after multiple trans users were targetted for mild criticisms of anti-trans billionaire." Beneath the quote, a hyperlink pop up of an informative article appears, with two images; the first is Bluesky's logo, and the second is of Joanne Rowling. Under the two portrait images, the header reads; "Bluesky silenced trans voices over J. K Rowling, here's why" The sub-header of the hyperlink further reads; "Outcry grows after multiple trans users were targetted for mild criticisms of the anti-trans billionaire." Underneath the screenshot of the Twitter/X post, khazrablood writes; "wannabe twitter already bending the knee to terfs." Following the previous tumblr post by khazrablood, fourohfourlifenotfound, a different user, has reblogged the post and added; If we are ever going to stop this, then you guys need to start learning why this happens. And it's not always because some executive made a decision to favor a TERF. It's because the technology is broken in a way TERFs have learned to use to their advantage. So content moderation is a HUGE task. It is incredibly inefficient to manually monitor all user reports-- when you "flag" something as spam or inappropriate or 'inciting harm' (what Blueskye is saying the banned users had in their posts). So what actually happens is that the bulk of it is reviewed by machine. The precise "how" is a bit of a black box (if you say exactly, it makes it more vulnerable to being bypasses), but we generally know it's a bit of machine learning ("ai", but not he chatgpt kind) and a bit of automation. Generically this gets referred to as an "algorithm" (which is a meaningless word I don't have time to unpack here). a continuation of khazrablood's tumblr post, reblogged and added to by fourohfourlifenotfound; The TERFs have a formula. A battle plan, if you will. I've been watching them use it for almost a decade. And they play social media sites like a fiddle every single time. The way it works is that they coordinate attacks on targets they dislike. (Usually trans people, but ace discourse is a notable example of targets not necessarily fitting that demographic.) They send links to each other of posts to report. They'll flag it for whatever the nearest thing they can is. The blueskye users were wishing ill to JK Rowling, so "inciting harm" was the excuse selected. "Inappropriate or sexually explicit content" is a common selection for other trans content. Then what happens is the content moderation "algorithm" sees a huge influx of reports for a certain post or user. And instead of making a human manually review all of that, it automatically initiates a ban or takedown. And if the "algorithm" has word censorship built in, it will begin to auto-flag for things containing words in posts frequently flagged, so it begins to auto-flag the word trans itself. The end of tumblr user fourohfourlifenotfound addition to khazrablood's original tumblr post; This has been happening for almost a decade. There was a trans youtuber who proved TERF hater group chats flagged his videos so much that it started auto-demonitizing identical videos with the word trans in the title, but leaving ones without the word alone. I strongly suspect this is why we see huge amounts of trans women banned for no reason on tumblr. And this is clearly what is happening now. How do we fix it? There's no easy solution. All the things about the "algorithm" that make moderation easier for the social media platforms are the exact reasons it's so difficult to defeat. It's hard to teach a machine what's a genuine flag and a malicious one. Again, it's been almost a decade since the issue was raised with youtube, and there has yet to be a solution for rooting out malicious coordinated flagging. But here's one thing that can help: get TERFs off of social media. Stop letting them bait you into petty fights. Learn how to identify them. Block and report them.

If you have ever been a carer for a disabled/cognitively impaired (or degenerating) loved one, this is especially for you.

I've been there, I see you, I know how hard and complicated it is. i tried to capture that here.

Assorted Crisis Events is coming back for a new arc in November, after a short break to keep up the quality. I think this arc is going to be even better than the last one.

But prepare for despair. (and also hope).

tlirsgender's post that says "i mean obviously people's behavior in various contexts can be indicative of underlying ideological frameworks but every time there's a conversation on here (tumblr) about sexual oppression / moral panic / censorship / etc being a fascist thing and people mention shipping discourse it feels .
