I'm starting to think about a goodwill run. I have so many nicer work clothes that I haven't worn since pandemic started and also gained some weight. I start getting anxiety around "maybe I will need/wear again" even though I live in sweats and t-shirts 98% of the time. But it's time I think. 😮💨

I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
Many of my friends had died of AIDS. I did not expect to live to 50.
I’m 58 now.
HIV treatment works.
Treatment also makes it impossible for me to pass HIV on during sex.
Ensure HIV treatment for all.
End HIV stigma.

The billionaires who own much of the the infrastructure of our 21st century lives have progressively enshittified that infrastructure while expanding their wealth, and then they scold us for being small-souled peasants who don’t believe in progress anymore.
it is amazing how so much tech gets unremittingly worse year on year at whatever you once used it for and less pleasant to use and more bound up with creepy politics as well as personal and environmental harms and yet also still less productive of actual goods and these are somehow great visionaries

It wasn't manufacturing per se. It was labor unions.
