🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

This is hard to comprehend… My heart is aches for the cast, crew and writers who gave their all to tell this story. I’m so grateful to have had this opportunity, and appreciate all of the love and support. Hopefully this news will be a comma in the HTDA story, not a period.

Of all the things so far, the shutting down of PREP worldwide today (PEPFAR) could be the most catastrophic. It ends access to life-saving HIV prevention drugs to millions across the Global South, halting a program that’s saved 25 million lives.

The stories of three Black men — Eric Adams, Marcellus Williams, and Mark Robinson — demonstrate what happens when we don’t pay attention and don’t participate effectively in government.

The danger of white gay innocence.

Robert Davis, 20, now faces at least 15 years for killing Josh Kruger, a white gay media manager for the Philadelphia mayor who also worked on LGBTQ homelessness.

Kruger gave METH to & SEXUALLY ABUSED Davis & likely other Black queer youths from gay dating apps like Jack’d, Grindr.

After Kruger blackmailed Robert with hidden cam footage, Robert, who had been abused for years, shot him.

Robert should NOT be in prison.

The city will NOT release the data (including from Jack’d) from Kruger’s phone that could reveal more of Kruger’s anti-black, white gay BBC fetish hunting of black Philly youth.

Josh Kruger - now where HE belongs - is also exactly the kind of liberal white gay bottom many black queers among us would DEFEND and FUCK and allow in black queer space AS he abuses & fetishizes black people.

But this is an issue of the WIDER predatory structure of gay interracial sexuality AND drug cultures in which these exchanges emerge, are PREDICTABLE, and remain DIFFICULT to INTERVENE on cuz of

antiblackness, racial capitalism, geographies & social networks

white gay innocence which casts white gay men as “the good gay” especially in the eyes of non-white gays (C Winter Han)

a code of SILENCE around THIS culture

the regenerative powers of (erotic) gay whiteness to withstand black queer socio-erotic suspicion & critique.
