What strikes me is that this is one of the best statements on the issue of GenAI that I've ever read.

Yesterday, I found one of the best compliments I’ve ever received, out in the IG wild. Fully unexpected 😭

It’s been a hard week, but this helped me land much more softly. I’m saving this for the next bad brain day.

Even when it’s difficult, which is often, acting feels like the right path.
A conversation on IG where a person comments that the voiceover for The Ebony Witch trailer, done by Candace McAfee, sounds like Cate Blanchett. Extremely high praise.

Who better to tackle the massive topic of HIV, AIDS and PrEP than @silverbd.bsky.social, a French Planned Parenthood volunteer who also happens to be gay, polyamorous, and on PreP himself? 1/2
www.ohjoysextoy.com/aids-hiv-pre...
A cartoony drawing of a white man is introducing himself saying, "Hi! My name is Silver, I'm a French cartoonist and I volunteer and work at the French Planned Parenthood." He is holding a bunch of drawing utensils in his left hand and in his right is a picket sign reading "SMASH THE PATRIARCHY". As he happily tosses blue pills into the air like confetti, he announces, "I'm also a polyamorous gay guy who started taking PrEP last year!" Silver narrates over a flashback of various sexual encounters he's had, all while looking anxious or worried. "Being on PrEP has changed how I experience sex. It's lifted a weight I didn't even know I was carrying." In his flashbacks, he worries to himself, "What if the condom breaks? Remember that article on that guy who caught HIV with a blow job? Do we REALLY trust this guy?? Did you see the ratio of infected gay men? It's only a matter of time!" Present day Silver returns, saying "HIV was always there, in a small corner of my mind, haunting me. And information and PrEP has helped free me from that." Silver presents the floating titles "HIV Human Immunodeficiency Virus" and "AIDS Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome" while narrating, "So let's get into it! I'm here to talk about HIV, AIDS and PrEP! First and foremost, the important thing to know about the big and scary HIV and AIDS, is that they are not the same thing. HIV is the name of the virus. And AIDS is the name of a condition, caused by HIV. One of the most important parts of our immune system are our CD4 cells which are also known as white blood cells. These cells fight against all kind of infections." We are taken inside a vein, first showing us blood cells with determined eyes who are glaring down a monstrous yellow cell with evil-looking eyes, teeth, and tentacles. The red blood cells declare, "You shall not pass!" at the invader. Then we see red blood cells that have been infected (they have hollow, zombie-like eyes now, and brown spikey clusters in their membranes) and are splitting into more copies of themselves. NARRATION: What HIV does is that it infects and hides in our CD4 cells. Making it impossible for our body to find and fight. These infected CD4 cells become ineffective, but they still multiply to fight attacks, which helps the HIV multiply too! An man in boxers stands among the following narration. From his boxers upwards, he is colored red. From below his boxers down to his feet, he is colored teal, and the number 600 is written on him- denoting his CD4 count. Full transcript: https://www.ohjoysextoy.com/aids-hiv-prep-silver/ A very worried person asks Silver, "OK. So what do I do if the HIV test comes back positive? It's... incurable, right?" Silver answers reassuringly, "Unfortunately so. BUT there are so many ways to deal with it. Being diagnosed with HIV is not the death sentence it once was. Nowadays, you can live a long and normal life, even with HIV. Over an image of a worried man consulting with a happy medical practitioner, the narration reads, "The most important thing to do when you discover you're HIV-positive is to go see a doctor as quickly as possible, to discover your CD4 cell count, and start an Antiretroviral Therapy (ART). The sooner you start the treatment the better." The text continues over an illustration of a confident young man who is looking at a collection of over-sized pills that are floating around his head. "ART is a mix of different HIV medicines and the regimen will depend on your CD4 count, your medical background and other particular needs. To each their own!" NARRATION: Generally, ART helps lower the amount of virus in your system by hindering and getting in the way of how it grows and proliferates in the body. It gives your body the chance to increase its CD4 count so you can put up a better fight against other opportunistic infections. IMAGE: Back inside a blood stream, we see big beefy red blood cells staring down a smaller invader who looks scared. SILVER: Hopefully, within a matter of months of the right ART treatment, the virus should be restrained and the viral load should drop so low that you'll become undetectable! The nervous guy from earlier asks Silver, "Undetectable?" to which Silver reassuringly responds, "Yup! Through the years of the AIDS epidemic, we discovered that a person can get a viral load so low it becomes undetectable through tests, and essentially untransmittable! They aren't cured, but through diligent use of ART, they've pushed the virus back so much it doesn't even show up any more." NARRATION: That's why it's SO important to begin a treatment as soon as possible and to know your viral load and CD4 count. A different little dude is holding a letter with his results on it while he exclaims, "Yes, finally!" NARRATION: With that data, treatment and follow-ups, it can take only a few months before a HIV-positive person can start having the sex life they want without fear they'll transmit HIV! IMAGE: A hairy man happily reclines on his back while his partner buries his face between his legs. Lots of hearts float around them. NARRATION: It's called "Treatment as Prevention" or TasP for short. NARRATION: It still isn't a cure, and even when you're undetectable, you'll need to keep taking ART for the rest of your life. IMAGE: A person from the shoulders-up stars into the distance in profile with a constellation of pills orbiting around his head.

National parks change prioritizes Trump birthday over days honoring Black people

Every elected Republican was a united front opposing and criticizing everything Obama did for 8 straight years, even if it was a policy they fundamentally agreed with. Why. In the fuck. Is it asking too much for Democrats to do the same with a legitimate fascist?

Democratic voters are working hard to stop fascism. It would be nice if the leaders of the party joined them.

HOMELESSNESS IS NOT A DRUG PROBLEM IT'S A HOUSING PROBLEM

I'm so sick of y'all in my mentions with this talking point, just stop.

PEOPLE CANNOT AFFORD RENT. Half of renters are paying over 30% of their income on rent, another quarter are paying over 50%!!!

People need homes they can afford!

Candace is right! The post event survey is basically the ONLY communication that is guaranteed to be seen by the people in charge of PAX.

Did you have a great time at #PAXUnplugged this year? Check your inbox for the survey, it was sent out this week!

This is no ordinary ignorable survey. This actually helps their team decide what programming the community wants to see next year! So be sure to tell them what worked and what didn’t.

If anyone is able to help me recover what was lost from this unpaid invoice, you may do so through ko-fi.

I'm so sick of this, but I don't really have a choice in the matter. I unfortunately did $300 worth of labor, with nothing to show for it.

Being visible does not mean wealth. I especially need people to understand that the marginalized folks in these spaces are struggling to survive while they create.

Failing to pay them fairly and on-time is not only negligent, but an exploitative act of violence.
