Ingrid Nelson, NP 🏳️‍🌈💄🥃

Trying to find one that hasn’t been said yet, so
The Big Country
What I love about this song is that I genuinely don’t know if it’s sincere or if it’s mocking a certain type of blue city snob, but it’s pretty great either way.

Honorable mentions for TMBG “Dead”
And anything by The Primitives
I made a mix tape in the early 90s called Happy Songs by Unhappy People that was probably inspired by them.

Moz is a terrible person, but The Smiths truly were the masters of this technique.
“I’m feeling very sick and ill today 🎶
But I’m still fond of you”

She’s an Angel is the song that made me fall in love with them.
Dead is the one I want played at my funeral.

As an NP specializing in HIV for 25 years I still look things up in those guidelines all the time. Ever since January I have had a sinking feeling whenever I open them. My heart is breaking to think about all our hard work just being unraveled. It’s so senseless.

And saw you dance
I saw a world where the dead are worshipped
This world belongs to them
Now they can keep it”🎶

I was wondering if this counted! Everything on stage is in color but everything else is B&W.

Protest in SF today, demanding the release of Andry Hernandez Romero, and all of the others who are illegally imprisoned in El Salvador.

I was a queer AIDS activist in the late 80s/early 90s in San Francisco, so just knowing actual trans people in my social circle was mainly what did it. I also saw Kate Bornstein perform her play “Hidden: A Gender” which was incredibly eye opening.

Excellent turnout for #Teslatakedown protest in SF today.

RFK Jr changes stance on measles outbreak as virus spreads Kennedy previously called the outbreak "not unusual", but now says it's a "top priority".

As if the damage isn’t already done. As if he doesn’t still pose a threat to US and global public health. As if he isn’t still a dangerous crank, playing games with millions of human lives. As if he isn’t an ignoramus, in way over his head, gambling with stakes he is incapable of understanding.

Tesla Takedown | Take action at Tesla showrooms everywhere. The stakes couldn’t be higher. No one is coming to save us—not politicians, not the media.

Every Saturday through early April in SF. See you there!

An HIV denialist and anti vaxxer is now in charge of the agencies that set our national HIV treatment and vaccine guidelines. A crackpot who is against pasteurized milk and fluoridated water is now in charge of the FDA. People will get sick and die and their blood will be on his filthy hands.
