#silenceequalsdeath — Public Fediverse posts

Worlds Aids Day
.
In 1987, the
Silence = Death poster was created by a New York-based group of artists to protest the U.S. government's inaction on the AIDS epidemic, which they saw as a result of government and societal silence.

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?

@johncormier I’m glad you broke your vow of silence, too. I was diagnosed at 52. Oldest I know of was in their 80’s… #SilenceEqualsDeath #ActuallyAutistic #ADHD #AuDHD @actuallyautistic

Five days after the start of Operation Desert Storm in 1991, ACT UP disrupted the CBS Evening News with chants of "Fight AIDS, Not Arabs, AIDS is News."

When asked by a reporter if disrupting a TV broadcast was "an immature and silly way to get your point across to the country" ACT UP replied, "we think spending hundreds of billions of dollars bombing people in another continent is a silly and immature way to get a point across."

Then ACT UP stormed Grand Central the next day, filling the terminal with protesters and banners saying "Money For AIDS, Not For War" and "One AIDS Death Every 8 Minutes."

Twenty-eight years ago today, my doctor wrote out a note for my employer confirming I had an AIDS diagnosis and would be unfit for work permanently. Some tough times followed but every day since then has been a gift. #ActionEqualsLife #SilenceEqualsDeath

This is grotesque. #zooeyzephyr #letherspeak #montana #mtleg #silenceequalsdeath #translivesmatter

@autismsupsoc i insist on being as open and visible as I can be in my life. Whether it’s being #lgbtq or #kinky or #actuallyautistic , they’re all part of me. The impact and manner in which visibility expresses may differ by environment (work vs home). But as #AIDS taught us, #silenceequalsdeath.

Window Seat Life (as my friend calls it). Brought out the over the ear headphones, and I forgot how good they are at removing noise. The in ear ones I've been using lately are pretty good, but these are better.

The downside is that they do get warm and uncomfortable on my ears after a while. Can wear the other ones longer.

My shirt says "Silencio = Muerte", a Spanish version of the #ActUp #SilenceEqualsDeath campaign from the 80s (and still very much alive today)

For #WorldAidsDay, my list of Names: some of the people - all gay men - I lost over the years, almost all from #AIDS, and almost all before I reached the age of 35.
