@juanmichaelii Absolutely agree. It also bothers me to hear about “juneteenth blowout sales”. WTF does discount furniture have to do with the emancipation of our people?

A few years ago, I had a cool idea: what if I used Amazon wishlists to get homeless people in Vegas what they needed? I could create lists of things they needed and my followers on social media could buy it and it'd get shipped to my house so I could hand it out.

Hydeia Broadbent has passed away. I remember seeing her on tv when she was little & educating people about HIV/AIDS.

[Prof James Davies (PhD) 💭 @JDaviesPhD]

Depression & anxiety now consume more disability benefits than any other. It’s becoming unsustainable. Until we properly tackle the social determinants of poor mental health, & radically reform our failing drug-centric approach, mental health disability will continue rising.

We have lost a dear friend and valued colleague. Dr. Stephaun E. Wallace, @HelpEndHIV's director of external relations, was a highly accomplished research epidemiologist and a true community leader. We extend condolences to his family and all who knew and loved him.
