It's already been ~ 11 calls to Accredo specialty pharmacy (Express Script owned) & my immunologist to get my next Xolair shot. I thought it was FINALLY on the way but seems it's ok to have a robot tell me on Xmas that there's something wrong but not have anyone available to tell me what's up ARGH

on #WorldAIDSDay, #HIV activists block intersection near #Trump White House www.washingtonblade.com/2025/12/01/h...

HIV activists hold long strips of red fabric in front of their bodies, blocking an intersection. The fabric stretches in front of them for at least 20 feet with wording about the impact of cuts to HIV funding. One activist in red shirt is seen running past the strips in the lower right corner

Eli reads questions that we will discuss after the next poem: 1) What do you dream about "enough"? 2) What's your version of pluralism and transformation that lives in your best dream of the world?

Photo of Eli Clare speaking as Trishala Deb looks at him, with his words transcribed on a screen above their heads: “are: One: What do you dream about
"enough"? And the second one is: What's your version of pluralism and transformation that lives in your best dream of the world?
Very soon we're going to turn those two questions over to you. And... Is my mic on? Am I being amplified? Okay.]”

Conclusion: #LongCovid is a post-acute infectious syndrome with • Similarities to other well-established post infectious syndromes • Clear evidence of cell, tissue, organ and physiologic systems damage • Incomplete pathogenesis understanding • Huge global medical, social and economic implications

Missing in action at #CROI2025 #HIV science and care conference, thanks to fascist coup. This was repeated over and over throughout the poster hall that otherwise offers important data and dialogue on lifesaving medical issues. This is censorship and will cost lives.

Three poster display areas in a conference hall are empty. Two have signs saying WITHDRAWN
