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).

This has been a favourite #1920s dress for a long time but I had never before seen the more detailed images of the arrangement of the beaded shapest. I have a whole new appreciation for Poiret’s design choices and the hands sewing the beads #museumatfit #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
Full length view of a shaded orange yellow flapper style dress with a tab shaped hem. The tab shape is repeated up the skirt in beaded motifs, the heads matching the colour of the silk A detail of the hem of the 1920s evening dress with tab shaped hem which is beaded and trimmed with black A portion of the skirt of the 1920s shaded orange dress showing the extent of the beading that loops in tiered motifs A closer detail of the cream glass bugle beads that run around the motifs of the 1920s evening dress in a tiered pattern

Adrift by John Cassidy
A sepia toned photo of a statue by John Cassidy called Adrift that stands near St Peter's Square Manchester It depicts a family adrift at sea on a small raft. A man stands with his arms aloft calling for help whilst holding a sheet. His wife and three children below holding onto the raft. Cassidy said it depicted humanity holding onto the sea of life and also the dependance of human beings on one another

I like her style! Such lustre to this bottle green satin which is the backdrop to the whisper of black feathers that pattern the cloth. The house of Worth was famous for fabulous fabric and never was this more apparent than in this early #1890s gown. Sold via #KerryTaylorAuct #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
Back view of the bodice of a bottle green satin dress with a pattern of black feathers. This view shows how the pattern matching was executed centre back A side by side image that shows the front and back of the bottle green satin dress that she was a flash of white chiffon centre front and the long train at the back A detail of the back of the bottle green satin dress that focuses on the bottom of the bodice as it sits over the skirt

A vertical, low-angle photograph of a single flip-flop abandoned on a dry dirt path. The sandal, located in the foreground, is dusty with a red, white, and blue striped sole and a twisted black strap. It casts a sharp shadow on the rough ground, which is scattered with loose gravel and dry twigs. The path extends into the background, bordered by grassy banks, and disappears into a dark, shadowed tunnel of trees and foliage at the top of the frame.

Friends, please repost. Let’s help historians document the worst crimes and political scandals involving an American president to date.

If justice and politics failed to protect children, let the public judge and remember. We cannot forget or forgive.
