UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

apparently you aren't supposed to take Descovy and NSAIDs (Advil, Motrin) together, as they're a combined heavy load on the kidneys

I can't believe I have to choose between my two great loves: unprotected sex, and taking Advil

What might not occur to you upon reading this headline is that, in other words, ICE is targeting gay men of color
