The FDA just approved lenacapavir for HIV prevention. It costs $25 to make. Gilead is charging $28,218/year. If we were serious about ending HIV, it would be free. But Gilead’s lobbying power protects greed. This system is completely broken. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

You feel that? How, for today, everything seems a bit less existentially terrifying, because the evil bastards aiming to destroy us have made complete and utter fucking clowns of themselves? Today is an object lesson in why ridicule is one of the most essential weapons against fascism.

If you're heading to a protest tomorrow, it's important to know your rights. Consult this information from the ACLU. Be peaceful. Be safe. Be careful. Be strong.

I haven’t even finished the Author’s Note at the book’s opening and I’m absolutely convinced I’m going to love THE GHOST THAT ATE US by @danielkraus.com It’s fairly rare to get this sense so early, even among books that have ended up as favorites. But it’s there. And it’s incredibly exciting!

Finally finished reading a(n extremely) long series of articles about DARK INTRUDER written by Stephen Bisette in the MONSTER! fanzine, and I need everyone to see this Dick Smith makeup apparently from a 1961 TV adaptation of THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY.

If only the New York Times had made this big of a deal in December 2022 when Trump called for “termination” of the Constitution. (That ran on Page 13. Yes, Page 13.)

Now that my reading schedule has slightly cleared up, I can return to @danielkraus.com's Angel Down. Releasing 07.29.2025. So far, I'm enjoying the lack of periods. All commas.
