And people are still dying today. Not because we lack the drugs to treat or prevent it, like we did 45 years ago, but because companies like @gilead.com deny access to the drugs to people who need them: www.doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/campa... #2Shots$40Everywhere

The temperature isn't the only thing that's too high today. In the US, @gilead.com charges $28,000 for the #HIV #PrEP known as #lenacapavir. That's way too high! People should be able to get #2Shots$40Everywhere

Trump: It's not working! Why don't they love the fair? How do I make the crowds cheer? Oracle of DC: If you test your strength against the heat with a very long speech, the nation will celebrate harder than they ever have. They will party in the streets. No one will ever forget the night.

Don't do any of this.

The Sun is back. Keep kids safe if you're opening the windows to stay cool this week.

So normally around this time is the Smithsonian Folklife festival. That’s what got kicked off the mall for this. You want to see the crowds we would normally draw for it? Daily?

Sparklers burn at around 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Never let kids play with sparklers.

Just got an unskippable Yeztugo (aka #lenacapavir) ad while watching The Legend of Vox Machina. Looks like a pretty amazing product, sure would be nice if everyone who needs it could access it. #2Shots$40Everywhere, @gilead.com, otherwise, get your ads out of my face.

they have it across from the giant Ferris wheel so it looks extra shrimpy omg I am crying

Chef's kiss, salute, tears, all of it

Very happy with my “I voted” sticker! 🦀

Happy Election Day, Maryland! The State Emergency Operations Center is ready and the State of Maryland is committed to ensuring a safe and fair election for Maryland voters. For election information, visit vote.md.gov/vote2026.

anyways this is the original video

So I just uploaded a bunch of new stuff to Loxythemaker.com. As always, my bsky buddies get 20% off with code Bskybaybee. Here are just a couple examples from over 50 new pairs. More than just earrings on my site! Tell your friends? #bsnm

Less than 24 hours left to bid on this oversized diorama d20!

Both totally unnecessary and extremely funny that the Guardian has an interactive graphic for you to change the color of the US flag's blue to the color of the Reflecting Pool from 8 to 19 June and counting

Just 3 days left on this!

It is false to suggest—as some recently have—that @gilead.com is “for everyone, everywhere”. Mexico, Peru, Argentina, and Brazil are all somewhere. Everyone who lives there is someone. So why is #lenacapavir (LEN) not for them? Gilead needs to make LEN accessible. #2Shots$40Everywhere

Hey @gilead.com, I have an idea for expanding access: actually sell #lenacapavir to MSF, and to anyone else who needs it, at a reasonable price. #2Shots$40Everywhere

A drug exists that is nearly 100% effective at preventing HIV and only needs to be taken twice a year. It's called lenacapavir. But Gilead, the company that controls it, isn't making enough available for the world. We know Gilead can make lenacapavir more accessible.

We're calling on Gilead to make lenacapavir available and priced <$40 for all low- and middle-income countries. Now. Join our campaign: www.doctorswithoutborders.org/access-to-LEN

Did you know that @gilead.com won’t even sell #lenacapavir in some of the countries where their trials took place? People who helped get the drug approved aren’t being allowed ti benefit from the research they enabled. #2Shots$40Everywhere

Heads up, @nerdfighternichole.dftba.social and @beanedictc.dftba.social - this is for you. (What it is, I’m not sure, but it’s definitely something. 😁)

The Scots found the Boston cop slide @everyone @edsbs.bsky.social @brianmfloyd.bsky.social @cjzero.bsky.social

Livestream of joy! If I didn't have early morning plans, I'd be there in person. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UksL...

Reporting in from threads. Happy Recall Thursday.

I’m sure some people use “Epstein Class” in good faith, to describe unaccountable elites who abuse their position and are protected illegitimately by a corrupt system, but, I gotta say, some people clearly mean “Jews,” and other people are at least reckless about whether it sounds like “Jews.”

It seems traffic is closed around Penn Station starting at 4 PM. Not a huge deal. It’s not like many commuters move through that one station. [aide hands me hastily scribbled note] I have just been informed that that one station has half a million commuters daily.

This 'Knicks fans, fuck Trump up!' thing is a real test of whether US sports crowds can truly deliver beyond just booing. If it was even a League One football team, there'd now be 79 songs in circulation taking down each year of his life to the tune of a pop classic, and they would rotate all night.

Gonna start pronouncing AI like Ayeeeee just to annoy everyone

"Nazi tattoos are fine, but I draw the line at..." is probably where our movements are starting to fail, I dunno

Bonus points for use of "lizard people" which as hopefully we all know by now is an antisemitic dogwhistle

Every year for Pride, I repost Hue. I made him to send love and comfort to those who feel Pride isn’t for them because they aren’t out. You matter, you are valid, and it’s ok if you aren’t ready yet. Coming out is not a requirement for being part of this community. Happy Pride 🌈

happy *quiet, chill* pride

WHAT DAY IS IT

I EXTENDED THE PRE-ORDER IT IS NOW OPEN UNTIL 2PM EST TOMORROW BUT THEN THAT'S IT ALL DONE

Heads up for any artists/writers/etc currently using Linktree to point people to their work: from 5 July they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E.

@vincecaso.com thank you for playing Among Us today! So many people in Chilled's chat were thrilled to see you return for a game!

Happy birthday @moonyriot.dftba.social 🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉

I’ve been juggling a lot recently and my posting has slacked. Anyone want a discount? SUMMER20 gets you 20% off any one thing! Let me make you something awesome! Please share!

I love many things about Crash Course, but one of the best things about the Coin is how Hank sells it each year. He doesn’t demand that you buy it or say it’s what the cool people do. He just asks you to CONSIDER if you can. If you’re in a place to help. No pressure, just an invite to be involved.

Missed opportunity for today’s Taskmaster socks task to be Awesome Socks…

It doesn’t “end well.” It ends SPECTACULARLY well.
