Hey guys, if you have the time please click this link and go view the AIDS memorial quilt. As of last year, all 1.2 million feet of the quilt has been photographed and made viewable to the public.

As such a cornerstone to our community as queer people, the AIDS quilt was a sign of love and remembrance of all who were lost. And for some, with no solution in sight. What a wonder science is, because living as HIV/AIDS positive is no longer a death sentence. It is a treatable and manageable disease. We can live full and happy long lives and not transmit the disease.

When it was intitially unveiled, the quilt had about 2,000 panels and it was now bloomed into 48,000. The majority of them measuring 6'3". About the size of a grave.

I urge you to take the time to treasure, understand, and support our community. As their lives and the queer movement- have brought undoubtable freedom as we live in our own.

Making a quilt can take countless of hours. And a quilt of this size, it's a whole generations worth.

Love your queer elders. Love your gay history. Live free, today.

1,000,000,000 OYSTERS TO FEED COMRADE MAMDANI'S NONBINARY NEW YORK HYPERCOMMUNE

October 3, 1992:  Sinead O’Connor appeared on Saturday Night Live singing an  acapella cover of Bob Marley’s song “War”, changing some of the lyrics to include references to child abuse, and ending the performance by tearing up a photo of Pope John Paull II and saying “fight the real enemy”.

This ruined her career and she was telling the truth, as we all came to find out years later.

Please remember she didn’t consider it as a career ruiner. 

To speak on how it “ruined” her career ignores her own feelings on it. Please acknowledge how she felt about it, instead of how you see it.

firm believe that not everything happens for a reason, sometimes things are just cruel. and they shouldn’t have happened and it’s not supposed to be a lesson because we never deserved such thing.

hm some people in my inbox got really mad at this specifically. nothing you can say will convince me that some of the pain and suffering we go through is our “fate” no, it isn’t

more commentary:

I kinda expected this art post to have non black people be hesitant to interact with it because they are worried they're being racist, people ignoring the message in some sense to go "hot" or people finding it funny because I used slurs I can reclaim but beyond that the other response is nice.

non black people have a habit of seeing "radical" black art and all its aesthetics and seeing if they can find it meme-able or completely miss the point because they find authentic blackness too "foreign and taboo" when it's reclaimed and not removed from the people.

but also there were a lot of people being respectfully mature about the art and feeling really uplifted by it which means a lot in a white dominated world where my culture is nothing but a joke or something to appropriate to the point where it's erased all traces of it's black origins

I think that media literacy step one for any video is "why is a camera pointed at this?" If there's no obvious reason for a camera to be pointing that way all the time, someone filmed the video on purpose. We aren't a fly on the wall, we're a deliberate audience.

i bring a sort of "the institution of monogamy is inextricably tied to mens' paternity anxieties and desire to control womens' bodies" vibes to poly discourse that reactionaries dont really like
