Shine Your Light on HIV/AIDS

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.

Healdsburg, 8.28.25

Polk Street, 6.27.21

And don’t you forget it: Pride was a riot. Last year, COVID-19 could not cancel Pride, and the celebration went virtual, was illuminated – it carried on.

And Just Like That, Indeed

No wonder I had, legit, been cravin’ a cosmo…. When I got to this land, in the year 2000, Sex and the City was the toast of the town that HBO helped to go premium, even though Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) had just gone bad by cheating on Aidan with Mr. Big. Season 4 […]
