Visual AIDS | Jorge Bordello Visual AIDS utilizes art to fight AIDS by provoking dialogue, supporting HIV+ artists, and preserving a legacy, because AIDS is not over.

I think maybe Jorge Bordello: visualaids.org/artists/jorg...
I will confirm with Jo

Beyond irony. It steals from all human creativity to function. It destroys our environment to operate. And using it robs us of our core skills. It's the perfect economic weapon.

LIBRARIES MAKE BOOKS ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE, she shouts, apparently inaudibly

WHY DO THESE "YOU'RE A CLASS TRAITOR" PEOPLE KEEP PRETENDING LIBRARIES DON'T EXIST?

ARE THEY CLASS TRAITORS WHO DON'T BELIEVE IN LIBRARIES?

prepping for the family fighting holiday by doubling down on my opinion that pissed this site off the most: if you want cool things to continue to happen, you have to seek out, support, and show up for the cool things

I saw someone compare AI to asbestos, in that people thought it was this amazing new material and put it in everything whether it needed it or not, but then realized too late that it was incredibly harmful. Do asbestos and AI both have a place? Yes. Do they need to be in everything out there? No.

Absolutely fitting coda to the whole Epstein horror show is that the brave testimony of dozens of women could not be credited and we need the emails of men to deem it credible.

Alice Wong was such an amazing activist. I had the honour of meeting her when she spoke as part of the Disrupting Disruptions series that I organize. May we continue to honour her work by working towards a more socially just world.

the film is currently touring festivals BUT with the Image+Nation LGBTQ+ film festival in Montreal this month, you can actually watch the films online (so it is a great time to stream it online)
