reached the part of john elton's audiobook about the AIDS epidemic. and. it's not like it's a surprise that it does, but no matter how many books i've read about it, no matter how many new accounts, it destroys me, every time. and it should.

#i don't think there's any way to learn about it without being suffocated under the weight of it #there's a part. earlier in the audiobook before this. where elton john writes. and it's almost like a dark joke.#but he says if he wasn't so obsessed with watching people have sex rather than being fucked himself #then he'd most certainly be dead like so many other gay singers he knew. and it's just.#god. it's just a line and then you get to this section and it hits you again. how aware he is of the fact of that.
