BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.
Israel killed 412 Palestinians in 12 hours. If this isn’t genocide, then genocide as a concept doesn’t exist
Amazing! Thank you!

"Cinema style porno videos" implies artistry, scale and characterisation. A true auteur.
One last walk through the Leigh Bowery show at the Tate Modern. Feeling this season so much 💖💖💖💖
Elon Musk claims he mistakenly fired Ebola prevention workers, then quickly fixed the error. But Ebola programs are still in tatters, along with other livesaving efforts like AIDS treatments for children.

The plaques Ligon installed in public spaces looked like historical markers in tourist areas of the city but they were inscribed with ephemeral memory traces of cruising and desire.

Delighted to see this piece based on our World AIDS Day expert roundtable published!

Good morning to this man, and this man only #bbcqt
JGP has a great chapter here about the purging of street queens and radicals from the queer movement in the 1970s. While it was certainly a campaign of trans misogyny waged by gay men, it was first and foremost a campaign waged against working class radicals and leftist priorities
Miss Major Griffin-Gacy, one of the Black trans women who was at Stonewall on the night of the first riot - she fought back, got knocked out and spent the rest of the night in the Tombs - is still fighting for trans rights. She spoke with @samtlevin.bsky.social in 2023.
“By the time of Stonewall...we had 50 to 60 gay groups in the country. A year later...1500.” Before the 1960s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual (LGB) person was illegal. The Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969 is a milestone in the quest for LGB civil rights and provided momentum for a movement.“By the time of Stonewall...we had 50 to 60 gay groups in the country. A year later...1500.”
The Stonewall Memorial website has removed mention of trans people

I love this quote from @andycampy.bsky.social on the series: “Because the connect-the-dot designs are left unconnected, they function as spaces for imaginative and wild projection […] The numbers on this field of erotic possibility are always becoming, and bristling with potential”.
Sameshima’s Numbers series is based on the connect the dots pages in 70’s/80’s Drummer magazines, where readers could follow the numbers to get a final pornographic image. John Klamik designed the original erotic dots. They’re also a nod to the canonical cruising novel Numbers by John Rechy (1967).

Adorno: "Lies have long legs, they are ahead of their time. The conversion of all questions of truth into questions of power not only suppresses truth...but has attacked the very heart of the distinction between true and false..."
Absolutely.
