"I am truly free only when all human beings, men and women, are equally free. The freedom of other men, far from negating or limiting my freedom, is, on the contrary, its necessary premise and confirmation." -- Mikhail Bakunin

Day 228 (by whatsupbuttercup)
apparently i don’t have to pay summer tuition at my school. the school actually owes ME money right now. i’m so floored. i was convinced that i owed them at least a grand, but they must have deducted it from when i was teaching. i am so happy. the guy at the desk was like, “well that’s a wonderful surprise for you.” and OH MY GOD IS IT EVER
now the apartment place just needs to phone me and tell me i got the one bedroom. then all things would be amazing in life ever. :D
FDA panel recommends approving home HIV test
Consumers may soon be able to test themselves for HIV and quickly learn the results in the privacy of their own homes following a unanimous approval recommendation from a Food and Drug Administration advisory committee on Tuesday.
The panel said the OraQuick In-Home HIV Test should be made available over-the-counter (OTC) saying the test is safe and effective and that the benefits far outweigh the potential risks.
If approved by the FDA, the test will be the first OTC test to be marketed for HIV or any infectious disease. FDA advisory committee recommendations are not binding, but they are generally followed.
An estimated 1.2 million Americans are living with HIV, according to the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention. One in five of those are unaware of their HIV status. And about 50,000 new cases of HIV are reported each year.
But I won’t give you up,
I won’t let you down
And I won’t leave you falling…

”I’d spend most of my time in the back of the class just drawing. My goal was to not get noticed in school because I’d spend so long not being noticed anyway or being treated as if I was invisible that I started to like it.” (Gerard talking about being an outsider in high school)
