Remember today when you see 100+ articles about how ‘civil’ and ‘noble’ H.W. Bush was that today is World AIDS Day. That 100,000 people, many LGBT+ individuals, especially gay men, died under his and Reagan’s watch. That he banned HIV+ people from entering the US, reduced research funding, and prevented educators from speaking about safe sex in favor of abstinence only education.

#WorldAIDSDAY This first slide and caption via @lgbt_history: “There is a tendency for people affected by this epidemic to police each other or prescribe what the most important gestures would be for dealing with this experience of loss. I resent that. At the same time, I worry friends will slowly become professional pallbearers, waiting for each death, polishing their funeral speeches, perfecting their rituals of death rather than a relatively simple ritual of life such as screaming in the streets. I worry because of the urgency of the situation, because of seeing death coming in from the edges of abstraction where those with the luxury of time have cast it. I imagine what it would be like if friends had a demonstration each time a lover or a friend or a stranger died of AIDS. I imagine what it would be like if, each time a lover, friend or stranger died of this disease, their friends, lovers or neighbors would take the dead body and drive with it in a car a hundred miles an hour to washington d.c. and blast through the gates of the white house and come to a screeching halt before the entrance and dump their lifeless form on the front steps… . Bottom line, we have to find our own forms of gesture and communication. You can never depend on the mass media to reflect us or our needs or our states of mind.” – David Wojnarowicz (Sept. 14, 1954 – July 22, 1992)

David Wojnarowicz, who died 28 years ago today, was one of the most prominent and prolific mixed-media artists of the ‘80s and early ‘90s. As a writer, performer, visual artist, and AIDS activist, he presented a brutally honest and unapologetically confrontational look at life and death in late 20th-century america.
.
Wojnarowicz’s vision of “dump[ing] lifeless forms” helped inspire the AIDS political funeral, during which friends carried the dead “in public protest to shock the public’s conscience.”
.
Wojnarowicz died from AIDS-related illness on July 22, 1992; he was 37. ✨[ second slide via @visual_aids ]

“We live in a completely interdependent world, which simply means we can not escape each other. How we respond to AIDS depends, in part, on whether we understand this interdependence. It is not someone else’s problem. This is everybody’s problem” - Bill Clinton. #WorldAIDSDay

امروز #روز_جهانی_ایدز نامگذاری شده. میدونین حدود یک چهارم کسانی که ایدز دارن خودشون بی خبرن؟ میدونین چقدر مرگ بخاطر این ناآگاهی و درمان دیرهنگام رخ میده؟ آزمایش ایدز دادین؟
هشیار باشین، تنها راه انتقال ایدز رابطه جنسی یا تزریق با سرنگ آلوده نیست، یه دندونپزشکی ساده میتونه عامل باشه یا حتی عوامل دیگه ای که اصلا بهش فکر نمیکنین. هیچکس در امان نیست مگه اینکه آگاه باشه.
هرچه زودتر آزمایش بدین بهتره.
نمیتونین بگین زندگی خودمه و به کسی ربط نداره، شما هم عضوی از همین جامعه هستین.

Today is World AIDS Day 2020. This year, I teamed up with SFAF (@sfaidsfound). AIDS Day is a perfect opportunity to share information, to educate, to know what is the vision and the reality that we are living in this moment of humanity with respect to HIV.
