BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

Fuck the Oscars.

Israel killed 412 Palestinians in 12 hours. If this isn’t genocide, then genocide as a concept doesn’t exist

Amazing! Thank you!

The USAID Emergency Waivers Aren’t Working, From Ebola to AIDS Elon Musk claims he mistakenly fired Ebola prevention workers, then quickly fixed the error. But Ebola programs are still in tatters, along with other livesaving efforts like AIDS treatments for children.

Image from Thomas Roma’s photobook, In the Vale of Cashmere; a cruising ground in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park mainly frequented by Black and Latino men. G. Winston James wrote that for many men, the park was “a final destination” not “a way station to the greater gay world”.

The plaques Ligon installed in public spaces looked like historical markers in tourist areas of the city but they were inscribed with ephemeral memory traces of cruising and desire.

A Short History of Trans Misogyny Award-winning historian Jules Gill-Peterson’s richly detailed narrative takes us from New York, London, and Paris to the colonial districts of the British Raj, the Philippines, and Hawai’i to tell a r...

JGP has a great chapter here about the purging of street queens and radicals from the queer movement in the 1970s. While it was certainly a campaign of trans misogyny waged by gay men, it was first and foremost a campaign waged against working class radicals and leftist priorities

‘Get off our backs and let us live’: Miss Major is still fighting for trans rights after 50 years of resistance The survivor of the Stonewall riots and mother to countless trans women has built a refuge for her community in the south: ‘I make joy here’

Miss Major Griffin-Gacy, one of the Black trans women who was at Stonewall on the night of the first riot - she fought back, got knocked out and spent the rest of the night in the Tombs - is still fighting for trans rights. She spoke with @samtlevin.bsky.social in 2023.

“By the time of Stonewall...we had 50 to 60 gay groups in the country. A year later...1500.” Before the 1960s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual (LGB) person was illegal. The Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969 is a milestone in the quest for LGB civil rights and provided momentum for a movement.“By the time of Stonewall...we had 50 to 60 gay groups in the country. A year later...1500.”

The Stonewall Memorial website has removed mention of trans people

I love this quote from @andycampy.bsky.social on the series: “Because the connect-the-dot designs are left unconnected, they function as spaces for imaginative and wild projection […] The numbers on this field of erotic possibility are always becoming, and bristling with potential”.

Sameshima’s Numbers series is based on the connect the dots pages in 70’s/80’s Drummer magazines, where readers could follow the numbers to get a final pornographic image. John Klamik designed the original erotic dots. They’re also a nod to the canonical cruising novel Numbers by John Rechy (1967).

Adorno: "Lies have long legs, they are ahead of their time. The conversion of all questions of truth into questions of power not only suppresses truth...but has attacked the very heart of the distinction between true and false..."

Absolutely.

I believe it is a single jacket that has two collars. Still absolutely no need though. No need at all.

The latest clarification on how PEPFAR funds may be used, issued today limits PrEP only for pregnant women and breastfeeding women. Women in Africa participated in research studies that allowed us to understand how these medications work many did so with the promise of continued access post study.
