The original soundtrack to a wonderful, sad but invigorating film. It's about death and suffering, but also about love, friendship and struggle. If you haven't seen it, you need to correct that mistake.

BPM (Beats per Minute), also known as 120 BPM (Beats per Minute),[a] (French: 120 battements par minute) is a 2017 French drama film directed by Robin Campillo and starring Nahuel Pérez Biscayart, Arnaud Valois and Adèle Haenel. The film is about the AIDS activism of ACT UP Paris in 1990s France. Campillo and co-screenwriter Philippe Mangeot drew on their personal experiences with ACT UP in developing the story.

December 1st is #WorldAIDSDay

The photo is from the night before my 1st Pride parade. I was 20 years old. Think about that for a minute.
For many of us, our 1st pride weekend also included our 1st AIDS memorial march.
Imagine over than half your dating pool dying.
Imagine newly formed friendships disappearing.
Imagine the government not giving a shit because, in their words, AIDS is "k¡II¡ng all the right people"
And you wonder why we're angry?

Today in Labor History July 24, 1969: The Gay Liberation Front was founded in New York City less than one month after the Stonewall Riots. Members of the GLF would go on to found other radical queer activist groups like the Gay Activists Alliance, Gay Youth New York, and Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR), and later groups such as ACT UP, the Lesbian Avengers, Queer Nation, and the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. They used the words “Liberation Front” in their name as a provocative nod to, and show of solidarity with, other revolutionary groups like the Algerian Liberation Front and the Vietnamese Liberation Front.

The GLF had a broad political platform, that was anti-racist and anti-capitalist. They supported various Third World struggles and the Black Panthers. They attacked the nuclear family and traditional gender roles. Some of their earliest direct actions were protests against the negative portrayal of queer people in the media, with an early focus on the homophobia of the Village Voice. Later in 1969, they started publishing their own magazine, “Come Out!”

Six people died so far in #Lahaina, which has been described as "burned to the ground."

Coast Guard rescued 14 humans - 2 children - who leapt into the ocean.

24+ more were airlifted to local hospitals.

“It was apocalyptic from what they explained,” Lawrence said. “The heat. Smoke & flames everywhere.”

"Fires were rare in Hawaii & on other tropical islands before humans arrived, & native ecosystems evolved without them."

We need #ActUp, for the planet. #ClimateCrisisIsNow
