Seeing some news (finally) about Long Covid behaving like HIV.

I have been HIV positive since 2007 and am very lucky to have a very good doctor, an HIV specialist, so I asked him about it.

for years used insurance for contacts and ordered glasses online, this year i had a set of frames i really liked and used insurance to get new lenses. no frames, just lenses, and I still paid $200 being alive is a scam

“All art is political” is not a claim that all art is made with political intent, it means that all art is a byproduct of its socio-historical moment and therefore exists as a political artifact. Art literally cannot escape the political.

“If I must die,
you must live
to tell my story
to sell my things
to buy a piece of cloth
and some strings,
(make it white with a long tail)
so that a child, somewhere in Gaza
while looking heaven in the eye
awaiting his dad who left in a blaze—
and bid no one farewell
not even to his flesh
not even to himself—
sees the kite, my kite you made, flying up above
and thinks for a moment an angel is there bringing back love
If I must die
let it bring hope
let it be a tale”

palestinian journalists are giving us completely new ways to think about journalism, with totally new ethics and methods—including demonstrating journalism as a communal act, rooted in communal care and love. not scoops. not competition. teamwork and love in the public interest.
