"My joy is a big f*** you to AIDS." #HIV #survivor www.lgbtqnation.com?fbclid=IwVER...

After 40 years living with HIV, I'm still kicking it and delivering a message. SILENCE=DEATH means standing up to policies that endanger our very lives. #ADayWithHIV

Thank you, @pozmagazine.bsky.social www.poz.com/blog/watch-m...

You know, Mark S. King (@marksking.bsky.social) doesn’t get on his knees for just anybody. That’s why I’m so grateful to him and Derrick Mapp for putting together this fuchsia couch for the @posaware.bsky.social booth at #uscha2025. We get by with a little help our friends—sometimes, a lot of help!

Minding my own business kicking ass. See you at #USCHA y'all. #thisis64 #HIV #survivor #daddyaf

there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...

This @marksking.bsky.social guy is a phenomenal interviewer. www.poz.com/article/fare...

Just minding my own business living 40 years with #HIV and kicking ass everyday.

Another book review I wrote, perfect for #Pride. I have a hard enough time writing what little I do about myself. I can't imagine having the courage to write a memoir. Luckily, I have amazing friends like @marksking.bsky.social who do. #booksky #HIV #AIDS victorianoe.com/blog/book-re...

My traps say hello. #thisis64 #daddyaf

Today is HIV AIDS Long Term Survivor Awareness Day. I tested positive 40 years ago. My health history and very body will hold clues for treatment breakthroughs to come. That's good enough for me. #HLTSAD

Art is activism. Atlanta's own @outonfilm.org is conducting a Kickstarter to support queer filmmakers. Every Buck brings another important story closer to reality. www.kickstarter.com/projects/out...

White gay men of privilege like myself are blessed if we have teachers like Craig. We are not entitled to it. It's a gift when it happens. marksking.com/my-fabulous-...

With the incomparable @avadavis.bsky.social at a merch shoot for @outonfilm.org. Support queer art - especially now

We are acting up today at the Atlanta protest. #50501protest #Handsoff

Previously, I had posted about the importance of queer spaces, specifically gay bars. Mark S. King 👑 makes the case beautifully in this 30-minute podcast from his series, My Fabulous Disease. #IFeelLove #lgbtq 🌈

My life as a young gay man growing up and then facing the AIDS crisis is featured as part of this gorgeous episode of @bbcradio4.bsky.social "Soul Music" devoted to Donna Summer's "I Feel Love." open.spotify.com/episode/0feF...

Trump administration axes more than $125M in LGBT health funding, upending research field The administration’s cancellation of hundreds of grants is dismantling the LGBT-focused research field, built out of nothing over a quarter century. My latest for @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-...

Don’t forget how he ethered that Russian asset live in a debate 🔥

Exactly 40 years ago, March 15, 1985, I got my #HIV positive test result. I was 24 years old. Life is wonderful and mysterious, y'all, and sometimes scary. Help it be a little less scary for someone else.

40 years ago I tested #HIV positive. We must take the streets again. marksking.com/my-fabulous-...

Trying to get out of my head today, so I may revisit @marksking.bsky.social collection of essays. If you haven't had the pleasure of digging into them, here's my review from last year. #HIV #AIDS #booksky #LGBTQ victorianoe.com/blog/book-re...

"And by the way, woke just means you give a damn about other people." —Jane Fonda, SAG Awards, 2025 (And, yes, I took a picture of my television because I ❤️❤️❤️ her.) @janefonda.com

Hey y'all.

This is real. What federal employees are left, who are struggling to do the jobs of those who have already been fired, must send Musk/DOGE a report by tomorrow night stated why they should still have a job. Or be fired. THIS IS SO F&^KED UP.

Good essay from @marksking.bsky.social "In the 1980s, I was young enough not to give a shit about how my social justice work or shouting in the streets might affect my job prospects or community standing or financial security." marksking.com/my-fabulous-...

People are organizing and resisting. I am doing nothing. marksking.com/my-fabulous-...

Ah, my 40s.

If you work in HIV Inc (or in any other health area) and you’re taking pharma $ - have a peep at this stunning exposé by @marksking.bsky.social Pharma $ isn’t neutral; pharma employing ex activists compromises the activism of others.

"The Trump Biopic is an AIDS Movie" @mathewrodriguez.bsky.social has a very smart take on the film The Apprentice. And now I want to see it despite finding the man himself insufferable. www.poz.com/article/trum...

Mark at 64. I remain grateful and intend to keep kicking ass, with 40 years living with #HIV under my belt. Life is beautiful and mysterious, y'all. Help someone else make theirs a little easier.

I'm deeply grateful to Justin for discussing his sexual assault, #HIV infection, and eventual justice, for this sobering profile in @posaware.bsky.social magazine. "The attack does not dictate how I feel about myself. Not anymore." www.positivelyaware.com/articles/ech...

I will never explain the early days of AIDS better then this, so I post this essay to commemorate #WorldAIDSDay every year. Thanks for reading, and please be well. #HIV #Survivor marksking.com/my-fabulous-...

My #WorldAIDSDay2024 post, "When Survival Ends," examines long-term #HIV survivors facing mortality for a second time in our lives, and the surprising way it has made me hold tight to the beauty of this very moment. Read here: marksking.com/my-fabulous-...

Mom is lost to time, but I'm grateful she agreed to this brief interview about loving a son with #HIV and the #AIDS death our family suffered. If you didn't have a mother's love, allow me to lend you mine. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAai...
