I’m not really going through photos yet, but we moved them to storage boxes. This caught my eye in a set from 1999. With me is Elizabeth, who worked a lot with @jamesarthurwagner.bsky.social on organizing with ACT UP and women's health activism. They were the "elder figures" of their group.

A close-up photo of AIDS activists at a Pride march in 1999. A smiling woman with short blonde hair holds a protest sign reading "Giuliani and […] sabotage AIDS education," partially visible in the foreground. Beside her, a dark-haired man in a white t-shirt holding a sign which is barely visible smiles at the camera. Behind them, other marchers carry additional signs, including one reading "5 AIDS deaths every day in NYC — is AIDS Really Over?" The scene is set outside a Duane Reade drugstore on a city street.

Yes! The importance of skilled labor. Via @hellgatenyc.com pix11.com/news/local-n... Steamfitters union member and construction worker Sean Dow who first noticed the cracks in the Pfizer building:

“In this situation, they’re calling me a hero. I don’t think I am. I think I learned enough through this apprenticeship, and that’s the importance of the apprenticeship and skilled labor, that allowed me to make the decision I needed to make.”

There are a lot of people here whom we know only online, so I wanted to let everyone know that @jamesarthurwagner.bsky.social passed away on Sunday from cancer. He was in hospice at home. I wrote about his final day. jwhealth.us/update/2026/...

I see everyone got the memo: "dignified transfer".

A screenshot from Google News showing CNN, NBC News, and Delawareonline.com all used the phrase "dignified transfer" relating to Trump and dead military members' bodies returning from the Middle East.

It’s a good time to wear my T-shirt from the artist Dread Scott shop.kayrock.org/products/gui...

On the front of the T-shirt, there is a white graphic design featuring a stylized guillotine blade shape and bold white text that reads:

“GUILLOTINES
WHEN PROPERLY USED
SAVE LIVES”

Late 19th century statue of Joan of Arc in the French Quarter of New Orleans.

This is a nighttime photograph of a bronze equestrian statue. The statue depicts a figure riding a horse while holding a large, tattered flag upright in one hand. The horse is viewed from behind, and the figure sits upright on the saddle. The sky is overcast with dark clouds, and artificial lighting illuminates the statue, highlighting its metallic surface. Trees are visible on both sides of the image.

from @edwardluce.bsky.social on the feckless Democrats on.ft.com/4gwT6g3

Where in the constitution does it say that the unelected richest man in America gets to decide which programmes live or die, who to hire and fire, and what contracts to revoke? An alert opposition would ask: “Who elected Elon Musk?” It seems an act of will not to make that a rallying cry. When life gives you a Bond villain, make Bond-villain lemonade.

No hunting in Chelsea! Spotted on a derelict townhouse.

A window covered with metal security bars or grating that appears weathered and rusty. A bright yellow "POSTED" sign is prominently displayed on the bars, warning that it is private property and prohibiting hunting, fishing, trapping, or trespassing of any kind. The sign indicates that violators will be prosecuted and has blank spaces for name and address information.

Brilliant Spanish opera singer couple: Montserrat Caballé and Bernabé Martí, early 60s #opera

A photograph of opera singers Montserrat Caballé and Bernabé Martí. She is wearing a coat with a large fur collar, and looking at the camera with a slight smile, but her eyes are smiling. He is wearing a suit and looking at her. They appear to be in the lobby of a concert hall or opera house, with a single drink glass on the table between them.

I wore this shirt to vote today

A dark blue short-sleeved t-shirt that looks like a vintage t-shirt (but isn't) with "AMERICA IS AN IDEA" on the front, with dark red and yellow stripes on the sleeves.

Oof. I’m going to take a social media break now that an author I’ve read called me a white bitch.
