This past Friday my partner and I had exchanged vows and rings.  Officially married.  I am in my second dress a flowy,white dress.

Recently got a new haircut. Chic and super easy to take care of. It makes me much more comfortable and enhance an edgy side to me. The top picture is a shirt my friend and I designed and made from an old dress I had.

This was about a week ago. Felt super butchy in this sleeveless shirt. All this melanin I am blessed.

[radicalyoungsoul]

Pretty in pink. My femme days.

Sometimes all you need is a beanie, leather jacket, button up shirt and red bowtie to keep them guessing.  Heres to the non-binary Queer Muslim people of color.

First and second time experimenting with clothing of opposite gender. It feels good to keep them guessing and break gender norms.

Wished I looked this good everyday.

White person: ...we're only against illegal and mass immigration...

POC: "so who's going to tell this person"?

Let’s stop HIV in New York City

If you are HIV-negative, PEP and PrEP can help you stay that way.

If you are HIV-positive, PEP and PrEP can help protect your partners.

  Daily PrEP

PrEP is a daily pill that can help keep you HIV-negative as long as you take it every day.

Ask your doctor if PrEP (Pre-exposure Prophylaxis) may be right for you.

Condoms give you additional protection against HIV, other sexually transmitted infections, and unintended pregnancy.

  Emergency PEP

If you are HIV-negative and think you were exposed to HIV, immediately go to a clinic or emergency room and ask for PEP (Post-exposure  Prophylaxis).

PEP can stop HIV if started within 36 hours of exposure.

You continue taking PEP for 28 days.

Many insurance plans including Medicaid cover PEP and PrEP. Assistance may be available if you are uninsured. Visit NYC Health’s website to find out where to get PrEP or PEP in New York City.

This is such a giant step that barely any people know about it seems, so amazing to see progress in the treatment of HIV

[greenandhazy]

I honestly thought this might be exaggeration but the CDC says that PrEP is 92% effective. Damn. Damn.
