one of the greatest human triumphs of my lifetime is the relentless, unceasing, heroic effort by DECADES' worth of doctors and scientists to find a cure for a disease much of the world didn't take seriously for years because it predominantly affected a community they thought kinda deserved it
Just because good news is worth celebrating:
There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection.
HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.

February #MutualAid post. I'm a disabled queer person who can't work a regular job. I rely on monthly mutual aid to survive, to replace the income I can't reliably get because of chronic illness.

I love some classic SFF, can't stand a lot of it, and my general advice is to read whatever moves you.
Testing your boundaries is great for personal growth. Forcing it never helps anybody.

Anyone who wants to rec me a classic SFF author owes me a full background check of the person plus a 500 word essay about why their work is worth reading TODAY at this point.

Many of you will know the great Ursula K. Le Guin story, "The Ones Who Walk away from Omelad." Occurs to me that Trumpies would never walk away. They would enjoy inflicting all the small cruelties on the imprisoned child who doesn't understand why they're tormenting her. The cruelty is the point.
