The trailer for the new Freddie Mercury biopic came out and I'm pissed - there's no mention of his HIV/AIDS or his queerness. Let's talk more about Freddie's REAL life and how it weaves into the HIV/AIDS crisis.

TW: Medications, death, grieving, and I cry for like ten minutes. Yay? I’ve talked a lot about arthritis. For nearly the last decade, it’s the bulk of the work I’ve done. On my other site, notstandingstillsdisease.com, I’ve worked on not only talking about my own health but how we can improve healthcare systems. Today, though, let’s stick to arthritis facts since May is Arthritis Awareness Month. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go listen to Wine & Crime to cheer my sobbing ass up.
