Want to hear about my worst ever Christmas Day? Sure you do.
20-ish years ago, my then-girlfriend said her brother had invited us to spend Christmas day with him and his girlfriend at said girlfriend's mum's house. Sounds cosy, right? Nope. 1/

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.

🧵A few years ago a man would call me with a withheld number and have a masturbate. I always hung up. Then I started yelling at him to stop calling before hanging up. Then I would tell him I knew who he was (I didn't).

These books are free to anyone who wants them. They come from my late ex-publisher. If you want one, let me know in the replies (there are 200 in total).
If you can afford the postage, brilliant. If not, no problem. I'll still sign & post one to you tomorrow.
P.S. Stephen Fry called it "hilarious"

The BBC Facebook feed has a clip of Ilona Maher talking about food and body image. The comments are 2/3 tedious middle aged white dudes saying either 'never heard of her' or somehow trying to suggest that because the US team lost to England last week, that's pertinent for this particular topic. 1/

The replies on this seem ridiculous even for BlueSky. Absolutely miserable, fun vacuums
Someone on my Facebook said on men's final day at Wimbledon "who cares about two millionaires hitting a ball around"?"

More evidence for my theory that senior management keep pushing maximalist AI adoption because it really can successfully replace them and to a degree already has, because 9 out of 10 executives do literally zero useful things other than occupy a spot in the org chart that needed filling
