imagine if you loved yourself in the same way you loved another person; not caring about the flaws in the body or inside the mind, seeing the virtues even bigger, supporting, taking care. that would be a new level of self-esteem and another way to be  indestructible

At Yosemite National Park, a visitor captures the natural phenomenon “firefall." 

It only happens for a short time in February when the sun hits the cliff at the right angle and makes it look like fire or lava is flowing down. 

"I’ve waited 4 years to get this shot,” Felipe Silva wrote on Instagram. “I can’t describe how mind blowing it was to witness this.”

Productivity culture will deceive you (especially if you are particularly high-functioning or a former Gifted Kid) into thinking that any use of your time that can’t be monetized or leveraged for your personal advancement is worthless, and I’m here to tell you that’s the devil talking. Do shit because you like it.

everyone is deleting the caption to this but this work is called “perfect lovers” by the gay artist felix gonzalez-torres. the piece is about the illness and death of his HIV-positive partner ross laycock:

For Untitled (Perfect Lovers) (1991), he synchronized two industrial clocks placed side by side. Inevitably, because batteries fail and things tend toward entropy, the clocks would slowly begin to advance at differing rates, out of sync, having moved, however briefly, perfectly together. (x)

“Don’t be afraid of the clocks, they are our time, time has been so generous to us. We imprinted time with the sweet taste of victory. We conquered fate by meeting at a certain time in a certain space. We are a product of the time, therefore we give back credit where it is due: time. We are synchronized, now and forever. I love you.” (Gonzalez-Torres, 1988)

“I’m Mexican and Kenyan at the same time. I’ve seen the quarrels over my nationality, but I’m Kenyan and Mexican at the same time. So again, I am Mexican-Kenyan, and I am fascinated by carne asada tacos.” — Happy Birthday Lupita Amondi Nyong’o (March 1, 1983)

There’s a reason why so many LGBT leaders from that era are women. 

And there’s a reason why gay culture essentially had to reboot itself. 

and there’s a reason saying ‘you’ll survive’ is bullshit.

There is a current, ongoing HIV/AIDS crisis in gay black men.

Saying “well we survived Regan” and “well we survived Bush” is bullshit.

Maybe *you* survived, but *we* didn’t. Not all of us. Not enough of us.

Anyway please continue to be very loud about the fact that the AIDS epidemic isn’t over, that it’s disproportionately harmful to gay black men, and that the current administration is doing everything that it possibly can to ignore it.
