just a few hours left on this account so i'd like to take a few moments to raise awareness of a few issues close to my heart
In 2010, male pornstar Prince Yahshua broke his penis while shooting for West Coast Productions.

I regret to inform you that Prince Yahshua has once again broken his penis while filming a scene last Tuesday.
You might be wondering, “A penis can break?”

HIV is something that has not been getting the attention it needs of late.
On December 29th, 2017, Trump fired all members of the HIV/AIDS advisory council. Two groups have suffered the most from this. People under 25 and the Elderly

You read that right, the Elderly. <Thread>1/
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), people 50 and older accounted for 17% (6,812) of the 39,782 new HIV diagnoses in 2016 in the United States. People aged 50 to 54 accounted for 43% (2,959) of the new diagnoses among people aged 50 and older. 2/
Thousands of older people become infected with HIV every year.

Although there is treatment for HIV, (called antiretroviral therapy or ART) older adults may have conditions that can complicate HIV treatment. 3/

I was going to write a thread about #WorldAIDSDay and the history of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, but between the news of Bush's death today and the recent deaths of friends/family, I'm realizing I just... don't have the energy. I can barely even bear to think about it all.
Properly explicating the history of the epidemic would require a lot of background on the gay & queer communities, and a lot of connecting of dots which are obvious to queer people but not for straight people.
The thing that my mind keeps coming back to today: HAART became available in 1996. PrEP was approved in 2012.

That's only sixteen years.

I fucking LIVED through both changes, and I still can't believe that timeline when I think about it. #WorldAIDSDay

Honored to speak today at the @WhiteHouse to commemorate the upcoming 30th annual World AIDS Day. We have made great progress in recent years, but our work is far from over. And that work will continue until we end the scourge of HIV/AIDS once and for all. #WorldAIDSDay
In 15 yrs we've helped save more than 17M lives & prevented millions more from contracting HIV. AIDS-related deaths have been cut in 1/2 since their peak in 2004. @PEPFAR has been one of the most successful investments in healthcare & humanitarian aid in US history. #WorldAIDSDay
Since Pres. Bush signed @PEPFAR 15 yrs ago, the US has devoted more than $80 billion to prevent HIV infections & deliver lifesaving treatment to millions. This investment is the largest investment by any nation to respond to a single disease in human history. #WorldAIDSDay

Thread: In 2014, the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child examined the Holy See's human rights record. Regarding #Ireland it noted patterns of 'torture and other cruel or degrading treatment' and 'sale of children, trafficking & abduction' #papalvisit tbinternet.ohchr.org/_layouts/treat…
UNCRC noted Vatican's failure to investigate the arbitrary incarceration and 'slavery-like' conditions of girls and women in Magdalene Laundries
In addition to providing accountability and redress, the Committee urged the Vatican to take 'all necessary measures to ensure that women and children are not arbitrarily confined for any reason whatsoever in Catholic institutions in the future'.
