Join ACT UP to demand GENERIC PrEP NOW at AIDS Walk 2018!

Mission: To get GILEAD Sciences (producers of PrEP) to release the patent on the only HIV prevention drug available in the U.S. and in turn dramatically lower the price of PrEP in the U.S.

What: ACT UP NY will be having two die-ins on the route of the AIDS Walk. Additional activists will hand out fliers sharing the information related to this specific issue at-hand.

When: SUNDAY, MAY 20, 9:30a.m.–11p.m.

Where: Meet at Cedar Hill and East Drive (south of the intersection of East Drive and E 79th)

Look for: ACT UP apparel, black balloons, white t-shirts, banners (we’ll make sure to be seen)

Why? GILEAD Sciences is one of the top sponsors of AIDS Walk. Although we are not protesting GMHC, or the AIDS Walk, we are here to tell the community to divest in GILEAD Sciences and to spread awareness of the issue.

Reblog for your NYC followers!

so i was talking to my grandmother about old-school video games
and she was all

“y’know there was one game i used to play, and it had like a maze, and it was underground, and there was a guy in first person and he had a weapon”

so knowing her penchant for puzzle games, i started guessing like myst, or legend of grimrock

so we start hunting through these 90’s-era games featuring dungeon crawls.

turns out. it was not a puzzle game. it was nothing close to a puzzle game. apparently, in the mid-90s, my grandmother would sit down and play fucking Wolfenstein 3D and listen to AC/DC for like hours on end.

Au contraire, the puzzle was “how to kill Nazis” and the answer was “use gun”

Harm to People Experiencing Homelessness From Taking Away Medicaid for Not Meeting Work Requirements

The Medicaid Expansion increased health coverage for people experiencing homelessness. Autistic people are statistically far likelier to experience homelessness. Work requirement proposals may destroy those coverage gains.

Some real food, even if it took until around 10:30! With vegetables and all! (A lot of them lurking at the bottom of the bowl here.)

I had some squash and half a red sweet pepper left in the fridge, and I’m the only one here who likes either one. Good opportunity to get that used up, with Mr. C gone late for another fencing event today.

Considered just making some basic fried squash with the pepper thrown in to go with some leftover macaroni and cheese. But, I decided it wasn’t that much extra work to throw together some quick noodles with some precooked chicken from the freezer.

So, I ended up with basically squashtastic yakisoba, with a gochujang sauce because I was in the mood for some heat. (Working off this sauce.)

Not a bad quick meal!

After taking an unused carpet to the dump, a member of the public spotted a nest of 6 baby rats hidden inside it and rushed them in to us for help.

They were quite dirty and seemed not to have been cared for for a number of days. After a clean, a health check and a feed, they were taken away with our trained rodent carers for round-the-clock care.

it rly is weird how theres this culture in progressive spaces where like you can be as mean, as CRUEL even, as you want as long as youre not being explicitly bigoted towards any marginalized group of people and still be seen as a really good person with good morals who nobody is allowed to have beef with bc theyve never done anything racist or homophobic
