the humanity of the AIDS crisis: the ward by gideon mendel

colorized by me

Never forget 🏳️‍🌈😔

OP you did a beautiful job colourising these shots

Notice how OP says “colorized?”

I want to remind you this was the eighties. THE EIGHTIES. Color cameras existed. Color VIDEO CAMERAS existed.

Someone put these in black and white to make them seem long ago and far away.

OP is returning them to their proper place in history: ONLY TWO GENERATIONS AGO.

that’s not fair to gideon mendel, the photographer who took those photos in 1993. he took them in black-and-white even though color cameras were available, yes, but not to “make them seem long ago and far away”. he was photographing in black-and-white so they would be taken seriously.

mendel is still documenting and lifting up the voices of people who live with hiv/aids in the project “through positive eyes”. 

if mendel hadn’t taken these photographs, we wouldn’t have a record of these  patients and the ends of their lives at all. it was extremely unusual for aids wards to let photographers in, and the patients took a risk in letting mendel photograph them and their loved ones. 

rest in peace, andré, steven, and john.

daniel radcliffe calling out j.k. rowling on her bullshit is big dick energy

One thing I have not seen mentioned in light of this statement, perhaps because it's just well known or perhaps because it's been forgotten, is that Radcliffe has dealt with this before. About 10 years ago his friendship with a trans musician named Our Lady J became known to the tabloids. They immediately published sensational articles calling her a transvestite and a drag queen (she was not), and speculating about the nature of their relationship. He responded to insinuating questions by simply being aggressively positive about what a great musician and good friend she was. They did at least one interview together for a queer magazine. This at a time when trans people were even more marginalized than now, and when he as an actor was finishing Harry Potter and under a lot of pressure to ~manage his image~ as he transitioned to an adult career.

TL;DR - Radcliffe has a record of not just saying nice things, but supporting trans people in his life.

MAN GOES HAM MUST SEE

I don't know of the pause after "smooth top" where he's clearly considering if he needs to make the innuendo or not, or his reaction to the taste is the best part of this one

you are forgetting about “”BEAT UNTIL SOFT”honey i dont need instructions”

too much media that depicts bi characters as sexy chads. we need more representation of cringe fail bisexual losers in media
