For World AIDS Day 2025: the stigma of HIV & AIDS was so strong that many avoided talking about their diagnosis until their final days.
In other cases, the families kept the secret for decades after.

In 1983, science fiction writer Isaac Asimov had triple bypass surgery at NYU Medical Center, during which he contracted HIV from transfusions.
His doctors advised him not to disclose his status because of anti-AIDS sentiment.
He died 1992 from AIDS-related complications.

How did we, as a society, allow the default Internet font to be one that makes it impossible to differentiate between a lower case l and upper case I?

Beautiful!
On Mars, dust grains are ~ the same size as visible light wavelengths, so they scatter red light away (Mie scattering) and let blue through near the Sun.
On Earth, air molecules are far smaller, scatter blue away (Rayleigh) and leave red.
Same physics, inverted colors!

My artwork of a Sunset on Mars. Dust and small particles suspended in the Martian atmosphere scatter light in the direction of the Sun forward. This creates a blue halo around the setting Sun, rendering a Martian landscape quite different from its terrestrial equivalent.

Sometimes I imagine what it would have been like had we adapted to Covid instead of giving up.
If we had clean air in public spaces.
Respirators in healthcare.
Free masks for those who need them.
Better tests & treatment.
Paid time off.
We would all be healthier.

Disabled people were one of the first groups targeted by the Nazis.
They coined the term “useless eaters”.
They tested the gas chambers on us.
They knew most people wouldn’t fight to save our lives.
That’s why the President using the R slur is so dangerous.
We’re not expendable
