a photograph of Larry Kramer in his library. he is wearing a sweatshirt with Act Up's lavender triangle and underneath it their catchphrase: SILENCE = DEATH behind him is a poster with the face of the then NYC Health Commissioner, Stephen C. Joseph. it says: Deadlier than the virus.

   oh! very last thing:

   i came of sexual age during the middle of the #AIDS #pandemic.

   had it not been for ACT-UP many of us GenXers would have been dead by now. they FORCED the mainstream to reckon with the virus's devastation and the Reagan and Bush policies that were nothing but #eugenics served over "kinder, gentler" platitudes.

   AND YET, i'd cringe when Larry Kramer would talk about USGov's fascist health policies.

   Larry, you were right. fascism been here for a long ass while.
