Please note that this guidance has now changed. This new guidance supersedes the blanket approval we shared last week. The U.S. Government will not be commemorating World AIDS Day this year. To comply with this new directive, please note the following: •USG funds should not be used for any World AIDS Day-related events or commemorative activities. • Please refrain from publicly promoting World AIDS Day through any communication channels, including social media, media engagements, speeches, or other public-facing messaging. • CDC and other USG personnel may attend external, locally organized World AIDS Day events, but may not speak at these events or promote their attendance via social media or media channels. We recognize this updated guidance differs from the blanket clearance and may require adjustments to planned activities. Thank you for vour flexibility and attention to these changes

Today is World AIDS Day.

AIDS has killed 44 million people globally.

Over the years, we've learned that silence and stigma are huge contributors.

Yet, the State Department sent an email to employees stating “The US Government will not be commemorating World AIDS Day this year.”

Silence = Death

The immediate consequences of the cuts are more economic than medical. For many, the cuts created an acute crisis of employment. Research has long shown that people who identify as LGBTQ+ and/or living with HIV are prone to living in poverty. Often, the only work in the formal economy accessible to LGBTQ people — and trans women in particular — is to work in HIV prevention. Workers typically began as clients, then became volunteers, then stick with it for their career. These people often lack university or even secondary-school educations, and their jobs in HIV prevention are key to their economic and physical well-being, with salaries serving as lifelines for their families and economic engines in their communities. And when the stop-work order came, they fell off an economic cliff that brought financial danger much faster than HIV ever could. This was true in every country where we reported.

3/ In every country we reported, Trump's health budgets have been a crisis of LGBTQ *employment*. HIV is a slow-acting virus & while "the cuts" have caused death, overwhelmingly, the biggest and fastest form of harm has been Black & brown LGBTQ people losing work theintercept.com/2025/12/01/w...

in my dreams, i have physical copies both Altman and Pakula’s filmographies. one day, i pray these dreams will come true.

been trying to watch as many Altman and Pakula films as possible before most of them leave the Criterion Channel, and my love for them, and 70s film more generally, will never expire. perfect films to watch and study right now. also, Elliott Gould is (obviously) one of the coolest guys to ever exist

Alan Ruck as Captain John Harriman in the center seat on the bridge of the Enterprise-B. On being cast as the captain of the Enterprise-B, Ruck recalled, "So my manager at the time calls up—and this is in the days of faxes—and says, 'I’m faxing you over some pages for a Star Trek movie.' I say, 'Okay, great.' And the pages come over, and I read them, and in my mind I’m going to be playing an alien with a head shaped like a stalk of broccoli or something. So I go, 'Who do they want me to play?' 'Harriman!' Look, when I shave every day, I don’t look in the mirror and say, 'Hey! There’s a starship commander.' It’s just not how I picture myself. So I was, like, 'Really?' 'Yeah, that’s what they want.'"

I think it might be time to update my "Escape Pod" site template to add comics so artists can host their own comics for free like I do. No strings attached. No evil hosting platforms. Take it wherever you want.
