For the first time since 1988, the (current) American “government” is making like HIV/AIDS wasn’t/isn’t a thing – meaning an ongoing global pandemic – and, per the directive of the twice-impeached orange hemorrhoid, we are not to recognize or commemorate or even mention, if he had his way, World AIDS Day at the federal level.

A most analog picture taken with a pair of hands, a vintage pair of Warby Parker sunnies, and sunlight by the Bay. Simple, simple in a world of chaos.
I have been saying – and writing…for the record – that the shit’s like The Day After Tomorrow for a minute now. In print, at least three years, since I became King. Of Cups. Now that we are paying attention, know that the media are gonna go beyond with the coverage, making it seem like […]
Día 417: Después de más de un año de pandemia, por fin tenemos vacunas contra el COVID-19. Lo que no tenemos es un plan global para repartirlas efectivamente y equitativamente. Qué se hace, no?
