i'm a homosexual liberationist which means i think gay/lesbian people need to avoid the biggest threat to them: conversion therapy - whether that be religious or Big Trans.

i'm a female liberationist which means i think females need to avoid the biggest threat to them: OSA men in the domestic sphere.

You know when you've gotta friend that you can SEE the potential of getting along with them, it's literally right there on the horizon, but our vibes almost never sync up right?

That's what it feels like being disabled with an able-bodied (and neurotypical) friend.

Taylor Swift is still a kid. I’ve thought that she would be an adult during her breakup with Joe. Her friends (Blake Lively, her husband Ryan, Haim sisters) and her brother unfollowed him, all within few hours. Swifties are already in form:

There are many ways I think Taylor is still a child, friends unfollowing a bf they follow only cause of association with their actual friends isn’t one of them.

Swifties are insane either way, that’s a fact now that even a lot of people in their fanbase acknowledge. And yes, I say even more insane than a lot of other fanbase. Maybe I rank top 5 most insane.

It would be different if I see anything from Taylor herself encouraging the harassment of Joe the way she did with a lot of other boyfriends or anyone she doesn’t like.

oh man, I originally planned on writing my own version of “Faster” for MLWTBB, but I came up with a really cute idea for Hunter and Echo’s Uber Eats mission this morning that I cannot stop thinking about

I’m sorry Riot Racing, but my bae and my bestie are more important to me LOL

You know, I've seen this going around several times, and the information appended is great, it needs to be out there, but it always really bothers me that no one is addressing the utter disingenuousness of the question. I'm sure someone could say it better than me, but I can't find anyone who has, so here I go.

So listen, this may not be something that has never happened. Maybe somewhere, sometime, someone was like, 'ah, whoops, I forgot to tell you I'm HIV-positive before we had sex, so I'll tell you now!'. Human experience is vast, or whatever.

But broadly speaking (and acknowledging my limitations as an HIV-negative person who's never had partnered sex), I feel pretty safe saying this doesn't happen.

Almost no one is going to forget to tell a sex partner they're HIV-positive. They might chose not to because they're afraid, or ashamed, or the stigma is just too strong. They might chose not to because they think the person already knows. They might chose not to because they don't care or don't care enough about other people's safety - this is a pernicious (and often homophobic) stereotype about HIV+ people, so I don't want to encourage it as the default assumption, but that doesn't mean it never happens, and marginalized people can be all the same kinds of shitty as anyone else - but my understanding is that most people with HIV take potential transmission very seriously, especially now that there are steps a potential partner can take (like PrEP) to further reduce their risk. (Or they might not inform someone because their viral load is at undetectable levels and they are therefore functionally unable to infect someone through sex, because treatment has advanced to a level where that's possible.)

Someone who does forget to inform their partner (maybe they have memory issues, it could happen), or otherwise realizes only after sex or potential exposure that the other person didn't know (miscommunication, other person straight-up wasn't paying attention, whatever), is almost certainly not going to be all 'oh, I forgot to tell you', because 1.) the vast majority of people would probably be horrified at the idea of having potentially exposed someone unknowingly and 2.) HIV+ people are not infrequently victims of violence in such scenarios. Maybe they would have a very serious conversation. Maybe they would put physical distance between themselves and the other person and then send an email or a note. Maybe they would say nothing - not an amazing choice, but understandable if you're in fear for your life. But I'm pretty sure almost no one would go, 'Oh, hey, I forgot! I'm HIV-positive. Now you know. XD'

This question posits a truly unlikely scenario that seems calculated to feed some truly hateful and even dangerous stereotypes and myths about HIV+ people - that they're careless to the point of absurdity about other people's health, that they're inherently irresponsible, and most of all that they're some kind of trap waiting to spring up and close on 'regular' people. It's an intensely serophobic gotcha question, because there's no way to answer it that doesn't accept the premise of 'yes, that could happen'. Even the well-intentioned response above falls into that trap.
