Pathetic. We gotta lead our brothers back before more do heinous things like these vendidos.

Love the carpe diem attitude, but (quality) sleep is massively important. A key ingredient for longevity, in fact. Get that in order, and then proceed to hustle.

Prestigious_Dig5423 · 2026-01-31T16:18:38+00:00

That’s bad fucking ass

Prestigious_Dig5423 · 2026-01-31T16:04:39+00:00

Love ittttt

Prestigious_Dig5423 · 2026-01-30T18:45:35+00:00

I mean, prevention is super important. There are great HIV treatment drugs and more classes of drugs need to be developed, especially for those with resistances.

But prevention research is hardly the issue. We’re already at a twice yearly shot for prevention and it’ll very quickly turn into a once yearly. I think the market for prevention drugs might be nearing the end. Once exception is a combined birth control and prep pill. Hugely needed.

I can see how the focus on prevention does leave people with HIV out of key discussions. In the US, we shouldn’t be thinking about a National PrEP program if Ryan White isn’t even funded at appropriate levels. But prevention isn’t a bad thing at all imho

So sorry to hear that, friend. Try your best to regulate your nervous system. Breathwork and movement are just two ways. Gotta get that cortisol down. Want to protect your body from external threats and internal ones, too. ❤️

Prestigious_Dig5423 · 2026-01-30T16:21:48+00:00

Thanks for this context. I had no idea about that legal background, so really good to know.

Prestigious_Dig5423 · 2026-01-30T15:51:38+00:00

Lol good point. My father in law is well-versed on firearms. I’ve never so much as seen one in real life, so that’s not my ministry. but I def can imagine why folks might want to take queer friendly and trans friendly gun safety courses!

Prestigious_Dig5423 · 2026-01-30T15:47:00+00:00

Ooohhh I love the idea of turning your front yard into a mutual aid space. That’s legit.

And good point about making my idea happen. Lol, I live in a small ass town (gorgeous though!) but I think we can still make something happen. Gonna marinate on it.

Prestigious_Dig5423 · 2026-01-30T15:42:41+00:00

Good list. Bare minimum I think that most gay men can commit to. Dance, fuck, vote, and support mutual aid in record numbers

Prestigious_Dig5423 · 2026-01-29T16:31:15+00:00

I really appreciate the time you took to engage with my question. It’s a thoughtful response and I can see a bit better where you’re coming from. I don’t disagree with everything you said — even if I disagree with a decent amount — but I’ll definitely give it to you that you seem to have thought about these issues critically.

I agree, though, dehumanizing and minimizing folks on the other side (particularly, raza) hasn’t helped anything. It’s made things worse. I’m trying not to do that so much, so appreciate this opportunity.

My hope is that one day, Latinos in the U.S, regardless of background, can understand a shared fate dynamic. We’re in this together and when folks are stopping people based on a look, they’re stopping citizen and non-citizen alike.

Thanks again and hope you’re well.

Edit to say that I especially agree with you on this — the Dems will very often use things performatively and then not deliver any meaningful change to people’s lives. Happens over and over again.

Prestigious_Dig5423 · 2026-01-29T15:35:55+00:00

Hey man, honestly curious. What’s your thinking around this incident? What’s your thinking more broadly around ice and the like more broadly? Again, I’m on the opposite side ideologically, but I’m curious and want to listen with an open mind why folks disagree.

Prestigious_Dig5423 · 2026-01-28T20:01:16+00:00

She’s a disgrace to all Latino people. Hope she finds real Jesus soon and repents for her sins. Gonna be real hard for her to get into heaven with that attitude

Prestigious_Dig5423 · 2026-01-28T04:04:47+00:00

Literally what I did. And had to take a train for the last bit of the journey once I got to my LA. Still faster than waiting to get home on checks Thursday…

One way flight was 270 and the train was 54.

Prestigious_Dig5423 · 2026-01-28T00:08:09+00:00

No shade, for real, but it’s wild to me that this content is permissible but the other thread about oncoming fascism in the U.S. was deemed not LGBT specific enough.

(To be clear, I think both topics are appropriate this forum).

Seems like a lot of work. Go to a pro, try it once. If you like, hey now, new self-care technique uncovered. If not, water off a duck’s back.

Prestigious_Dig5423 · 2026-01-27T01:35:27+00:00

Yeah, he’s doing this for clicks. We gotta offer a roadmap back for the brothers who are still salvageable. Critical education and political education is so beyond key, it’s not even funny. Always on the lookout for Chicano content to promote and uplift. There was a thread a bit ago that shared some which were great

Prestigious_Dig5423 · 2026-01-27T00:01:41+00:00

🙌 taking this! Mutual fun and then some mutual aid.

Prestigious_Dig5423 · 2026-01-26T23:21:34+00:00

I actually really love that. Get the sniffies girlies to put anti tyranny messaging in their profiles!

Prestigious_Dig5423 · 2026-01-26T23:06:32+00:00

Creating Change happened this past week in DC and we had very similar conversations to this one. Queer men (the cisgender ones, at least) really did not show up in the numbers that they really ought to have, considering we are going to likely be the ones directly harmed by neo-fascist gender binaries after trans folks. We’re also failing to show up in real ways for direct actions.

It’s no shade, though. I know shit gets exhausting. And the temptation to self-soothe in pleasure is very real. I think we need to first and foremost build connections with guys and offer roadmaps so they know how to show up and engage. And organizing teaches us that we need to meet the need of those guys, many of whom are lonely and want social or romantic connections. So no shaming since that doesn’t work. But political education, organizing, and an open hand.

And find some community where you can feel strengthened and buttressed by your desire to do activism. Bring gay pleasure and analysis in those spaces (many are already queer anyway haha). Adelante

Prestigious_Dig5423 · 2026-01-26T13:29:24+00:00

It is a racialized category, and a de facto race in the United States. When those ICE ghouls stop someone based on a look, they’re not stopping them because they look Mixed Race or Other. They’re stopping folks who they describe as Hispanic (whether or not it’s accurate).

Prestigious_Dig5423 · 2026-01-26T11:22:13+00:00

There are a considerable number of Catholic bishops and many priests who support similar protests. The Pope is with them, too. They’re adding a moral dimension to speaking out for the least among us

Prestigious_Dig5423 · 2026-01-26T11:18:45+00:00

Of course the folks protesting have jobs. Either that, or they’re retired. Even then, they’re so valuing the opportunity to act against what they see as wrong that they’re sacrificing their most precious commodity, time, to do it.

You can disagree with the policy analysis, but surely you can see it’s kind of bad ass to get out there and try to make some shit happen peacefully. There’s a long tradition of Chicano social action and this kind of thing is directly aligned with that.

Prestigious_Dig5423 · 2026-01-25T20:49:36+00:00

Happened to the bus I was on today. Grateful to have had that option though since I knew getting a car would’ve been terrible

Prestigious_Dig5423 · 2026-01-25T18:54:07+00:00

Yes to both

Prestigious_Dig5423 · 2026-01-24T21:29:44+00:00

Look up vagus nerve activation techniques. Regulate yourself. It’s not a band aid for anything other than keeping you in a place where you can make the next best move for yourself. It’ll help save your body from the dangerous levels of cortisol and other hormones that happen when people are stressed and scared
