I change with the times. I have no fear of the future, or longing to remain in the past.
Sorry can't access DM's. I should have put this on sooner.

To mark World AIDS Day we're hosting a pop-up exhibition by the National HIV Story Trust at RCN HQ.

To learn more, come and visit us in the Library and Museum Café until the 6 December! If you can't make it, visit their website to see the stories: https://nhst.org.uk/.

#HistNursing #WorldAIDSDay
An informative display titled "HIVstory" in the RCN Library and Museum Café. It features snippets and pictures of people who have been interviewed and shared their stories of the HIV/AIDS pandemic. In the centre of the display is a TV screen which shows clips from the interviews. Close-up of one of the HIV stories showing a headshot of a blue-eyed, white woman with red hair, wearing makeup and a blue polo neck top. The text reads: "Little did we know how long it would take before there were effective medications and, at that point, we didn't know how important continuing to take medication was." Diana Aldam, Specialist HIV Nurse Diana Aldam began her nurse training just as the pandemic was starting in 1982. Once qualified she applied for a research nurse post at James Pringle House and was put on the first clinical trial team: the Medical Research Council Concorde trail. She worked on successive trails through the 1980s and 1990s until significant breakthroughs in drugs and therapy to treat HIV were made. She continued to work in HIV, specialising in HIV treatment, advice and support until 2017. Close-up of one of the HIV stories showing a headshot of a brown-eyed, bald, black man with grey facial hair, wearing glasses, and a white and light blue shirt. The text reads: "There was a huge appetite among young, gay, black men for what we could do to help them." Arnold Gordon, Activist & Founder of Blackliners Arnold Gordon was born in Sierra Leone and began a broadcasting career in the UK with the BBC's African Service, before returning to Sierra Leone in the 1980s to run the television service there. He was contacted by a friend in the UK who had contracted HIV and AIDS, which prompted him to return to London and volunteer with the Terrence Higgins Trust. He went on to found Blackliners, an HIV support group for the black community. Eventually he worked as a marriage guidance counsellor before retiring to Kent, where he writes about the legacy of slavery, and how it affected his own family in Sierra Leone. Close-up of one of the HIV stories showing headshots of a brown-eyed, white woman with blonde hair and wearing makeup. The text reads: "They told me I couldn't have the operation and I maybe had two years to live." Rebecca de Havilland, Transgender woman, HIV Positive & Activist Rebecca de Havilland is a transgender woman born in Ireland who had a successful career as a hair and make-up artist in Dublin and ran a model agency before moving to London. Working as an escort to earn money for ender-reassignment surgery, she became dependent on alcohol and drugs and only discovered she was HIV positive when she applied for her operation. She volunteered with the Terrence Higgins Trust and project-manages the 56T service for trans and non-binary people in London. She also runs her own Project Bootcamp to support trans women through the transitioning process.

I think the general is talking about the Europeans he interacts with. Not the people of Europe who have known for some time. America is not a good faith partner!!!!

"Trump es un ejemplo de la banalidad del mal llevada al máximo. Pero resulta demasiado atroz, demasiado inverosímil, como para dedicarle una película. Ni siquiera existe la posibilidad de parodiarlo, porque él ya se parodia a sí mismo". Entrevista a Costa-Gavras
Costa-Gavras: “Lo siento, pero Trump es la personalidad que mejor define nuestra época”
Lleva seis décadas retratando con su cine las convulsiones sociales y políticas del mundo. Lo que ve hoy tampoco le gusta, pero asegura mantener la esperanza en el ser humano
