“are you okay” no bro i constantly feel like i am too much but simultaneously not enough

I love Neil, actually.

Y'ALL THIS IS THE NEW WHITE HOUSE MONKEYPOX COORDINATOR HOLY SHIT

Biden really said "I think we need a raging queer leather daddy doctor to run the country's monkeypox response" and he was RIGHT

yeah this is based

Oh fuck that is a good call: that's a gentleman whose career started while AIDS was in full swing within his community, who has championed harm reduction approaches to infectious disease, and who is pointed in his insistence on destigmatizing high risk communities rather than setting himself apart from them. This is someone who understands harm reduction and meeting people where they are without judgement, which is precisely the attitude you want to have when you grapple with a stigmatized epidemic.

Here's an article about his appointment to director of HIV/AIDS prevention from February 2021. Look at his career: he's been working in HIV/AIDS nearly his entire adult life and career. He's been working on increasing public health within stigmatized populations by focusing on harm reduction that entire time. Hell, this is someone with the institutional memory to remember Anthony Fauci's piss poor treatment of HIV during the Reagan administration and carry a grudge because the man didn't go far enough.

By the way, this is absolutely an example of harm reduction in terms of exercising your right to vote: there is zero chance that an advocate like Daskalakis would have been appointed under a Trump administration, but the incoming Biden administration installed him in the previous director position (which he still holds, as he adds monkeypox to his case load) as early as late 2020, before Biden was even properly inaugurated. That doesn't mean this administration is perfect or that we can't continue to agitate for better change, but it does mean that things are better and fewer people are going to die. That's basic harm reduction in action: you focus on survival for the most people as your metric, you take the route that results in the best outcome for the situation you have, and you do not ever let the imaginary perfect become the enemy of the tangible better.

Fuck, this is delightful good news. Well done Dr. Daskalakis, and all the best of luck to you and yours!

I can't say how many times this has happened to me... 😠

You see, friends? Anyone can become financially set-for-life like Kyle if you just take a few simple tips from him: -make sure your first job Senior Project Manager at your father’s hedge fund.  Put 25% of your $250,000 salary into a savings account.  I know that it’ll be hard getting by on just $187,500 a year, but if Kyle could do it, anyone can! -Why waste money paying for housing?  Just live for free in your grandparents’ vacant vacation home.  In Monterey. For a few years.  -Getting a mortgage to buy a house is a classic mistake. Instead, just get your uncle to give you $500,000! -Be sure to really tighten your belt. That means no vacations to Italy or Japan!  You’ll have to stick to vacationing in your own country instead! “Managing your spending is difficult, but if I can do it, anyone can!” THANKS KYLE!!!

Seconded @ilaeriawitch

Even saying ”I’m so sorry, I completely forgot” sounds marginally better than ” I’m so sorry, I didn’t completely forget, I actually completely remembered. I thought about it the whole time and it stressed me out so much my brain built an insurmountable wall around it.”

winona ryder’s character in stranger things has never been wrong even once and every time the fucking gravity turns off or whatever she says “hey thats weird right” and everyone in a 10 mile radius is like “woah category five woman moment incoming”

yall wanna see the worst take ive ever seen on why leather bars and hankie groups dont belong at pride 

someone honest to got thought this up, wrote it, and hit post

btw that comment was specifically abt leather bars/leather daddies being unwelcome and like. yall. the first (estimated) leather bar in the usa was in new york in like 1958 and then in san fran in the tenderloid in 1960. these were before the stonewall riots. these men were alive through the entire AIDs crisis and ya called them the reason people are homophobic. im going to loose my mind. 

like this is homophobic. this is actively homophobic. you are telling a group of gay men who helped create this community that they are so degenerate that their mere presence at pride has caused a spike in bigotry against this community over the past few years. like imagine typing that out and not realizing how wildly homophobic that is
