Tim Barrus: NYTimes: We Need A Revolution in Art Museums
I work with young adolescent boys at-risk who do sex work and have HIV. Mainly, I teach photography and video art. The traditional museum and the traditional foundation would be appalled by us. Sex work is a crime. That makes the boys criminals. The issue is actually poverty, and that…

MYHIVTEAM
Fucking Antiretrovirals. Most are not worth the bother to take them. The constant interface with the ”helper” medical community will test your resolve to live.

Tim Barrus: New York Times
The New York Times keeps publishing the cure for HIV is the cure for HIV when, in fact, such announcements are patently absurd and beneath contempt. Cure? I live in Appalachia. Our HIV clinics (public health) are all deliberately located in far away places we simply can’t get to. Even…

Utterly Useless CDC Posters
How is it, any of this collection of CDC posters taped to a toilet bathroom wall supposedly stops me in my tracks and compels me to change my entire life. Get real. The hard to reach get stick figures. The CDC is removed from any of the lives I’ve lived.…
