This World AIDS Day, we remember the hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers lost to HIV and AIDS, and those living with HIV today. We must remind ourselves and each other that the fight isn’t over until the epidemic is over for everyone.

Sundays are perfect for some self care 😌

Well, we did it! We conquered that challenge and ordered 11 times on Saturdays this fall and earned an 80% off coupon and $100 in DoorDash credits. Apparently several times I deserved morning donuts as a treat for the long work week. 🫠

Anyway. This is how I’ll always remember Bruce Harrell.

Made the switch to Apple Music and there are layers to songs I’ve never heard before. 🤯

BREAKING: NBC News projects: Zohran Mamdani (D) wins New York City Mayor.

So he can go hang with his donors at Mara Lago? What a horrible close.

I occasionally get on binges of trashy reality tv and whoa have I gotten back into it with Sister Wives. I’m still a few seasons behind but I am so ready for what is going down. 🤣

Where is he? If we stop asking, stop demanding his return, we are complicit in his disappearance.

Neighbor kids are outside playing basketball and laughing and sound like they are having so much fun and it reminds me of summer nights as a kid and makes my heart smile ❤️

Getting after this final(ish) training ride Send some love before I embark on a 545 mile journey down the California coast

NYT: One estimate finds that DOGE’s “firings, re-hirings, lost productivity and paid leave of thousands of workers” will actually COST taxpayers “upward of $135 billion this fiscal year.” @nytimes.com 🤡 www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/u...

Howdy! This summer I’m riding 545 miles from SF to LA for AIDS/LifeCycle and I need your help to earn my ticket to ride! If you’re open to donating, shoot me a DM and I’ll send over the link. Sharing this post would also mean the world to me!

A notes post because I don’t know how to do a thread here 🤣 Please donate to support me hitting my lifetime fundraising goal for the final #AIDS/LifeCycle 🙏 giving.aidslifecycle.org/participant/... @sfaidsfound.bsky.social @lalgbtcenter.bsky.social

Less than $600 from getting my ticket for 2025! Getting into the second half of this training ride! (And yes there are some nice rewards for donors! 😜)

Let the Sunday training ride commence! I still need to punch my ticket to ride the final year of AIDS/LifeCycle and the charities need the money more than ever with federal grants being cut every week. giving.aidslifecycle.org/participant/...

"She said she’s coming forward now to give voice to other women who left the mayor’s office and the City Council because of what they called a toxic work environment." www.kuow.org/stories/moni...

I can’t wait to listen to the entire album again. Each song pulled me in as it felt more and more like Gaga putting her mark on something that initially sounded of another era.

i’ve said it before i’ll say it again despite the bullshit of the world we live in i feel so lucky to forever be a little gay boy while Lady Gaga is making music

I’m under no illusion that a single day protest itself will significantly alter things. But at least with yesterday, I found it attracted the attention of some who otherwise hadn’t been involved in any form of protest or resistance and began considering the impact of collective action.

If you want to run for local office, @runforsomething.net is here to help you. Look up what office you can run for at runforwhat.net -- our next intro call is Tuesday night.

Amidst the madness of the country, we thought the house could use some internal chaos so we added two cats to an existing three. 🤪 More seriously, a dear friend, in declining health, needed her bonded pair to find a new home. So a big welcome Mateo and Lily. ❤️😻

I see posts about how gov officials should “resign” or “walk out” in protest of things happening but I don’t quite get the end game there…shouldn’t we want as many good, rationale people inside right now to do their best to stall, prevent, and generally provide some internal resistance?

Some days it’s 10pm and you’ve still got half of your “to do” list staring at you but you just close the lid and hope tomorrow isn’t as bad 🫠

Netflix emailing me with yet another price increase to $24.99/mo+tax had me cancel on the spot.

Congratulations Beyoncé so deserved after so many years!

I love this immediately entered the memesphere

Take this with you into the week. Lift each other up. ❤️

This was referring to her new music but she then showed us how she’s really going to save me by continuing to be outspoken in support of our community ❤️

If I survive this year let it be know it was only because of Gaga

It feels like it’s going to take a lot of real pain and suffering before enough Americans care to understand what’s happening with our government and my biggest fear is at that point it will be too late.

Going to miss this little bit of an escape from reality but also ready to see the kitties

Marked safe from the great botaggedon of January 2025 ☺️

Surveying the Sky…What are your best ways of warding off the Sunday scaries?

Since November I have struggled to get active, but it’s time to train for the final year #AIDS/LifeCycle 🥲 I didn’t make it outside but I got on my Peloton and rode for a couple short sessions. One push and pull at a time. ❤️

I’m admittedly not great at any sort of combat games but I’ve been enjoying playing #MarvelRivals and got my first MVP today.

In honor of #fcf I made the best cakes I knew how to make, pancakes. Just look at this stack of fat cakes 😂

The random fireworks started at 6p had my girl Arry scared and hiding under the bed. I found her and convinced her to come out and cuddle under the blanket with me. I could tell she wasn’t really settled all night but was glad to be her protector. ❤️ She’s catching up on sleep now. 💤

Y’all some people are giving Wicked one star ratings because “it has too much music” WTF! You better believe I reported those reviews. amzn.to/4gTfUqI

I’m always amazed at the sometimes hidden talents / hobbies of friends…what’s yours? Knitting? Baking? Scrabble? Pottery?

I saw Wicked for the third time today. And at the end when she reconnects with her younger self I sobbed. 😭 I don’t know why this time was so emotional but I am just going to appreciate it. 🥰

Haven’t shaved this week, not planning on moving from the couch. Going to enjoy the Arry cuddles and view of the tree.

Getting through these meetings with a furry lil friend today

The amount of energy expended today on work (including our annual Holiday Drag Queen Bingo!) was a lot and I’m exhausted…2 more days until we wrap for the year.

Here I am weeks later and all I hear in my head is music from Wicked. And my IG algorithm has caught up so now all I’m served is Wicked content. 🥰
