After 40 years living with HIV, I'm still kicking it and delivering a message. SILENCE=DEATH means standing up to policies that endanger our very lives. #ADayWithHIV

You know, Mark S. King (@marksking.bsky.social) doesn’t get on his knees for just anybody. That’s why I’m so grateful to him and Derrick Mapp for putting together this fuchsia couch for the @posaware.bsky.social booth at #uscha2025. We get by with a little help our friends—sometimes, a lot of help!

Minding my own business kicking ass. See you at #USCHA y'all. #thisis64 #HIV #survivor #daddyaf

RFK Jr.’s damage to the CDC is ‘past the point of no return,’ Dr. Demetre Daskalakis warns “The CDC you knew is over,” the infectious diseases doctor told The Advocate. “Unless someone takes radical action, there is nothing there that can be salvaged.”

there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...

Book Review: My Fabulous Disease: Chronicles of a Gay Survivor by Mark S. King I have friends who write in a variety of genres: romance, sci fi/fantasy, biography, horror, sports, children’s picture books; playwrights, too. They have poured their hearts and souls into their work...

Another book review I wrote, perfect for #Pride.

I have a hard enough time writing what little I do about myself. I can't imagine having the courage to write a memoir. Luckily, I have amazing friends like @marksking.bsky.social who do.

Do You Feel Love? - My Fabulous Disease Mark remembers the enduring legacy of Donna Summer's iconic song "I Feel Love," as part of the BBC's show, "Soul Music."

Previously, I had posted about the importance of queer spaces, specifically gay bars. Mark S. King 👑 makes the case beautifully in this 30-minute podcast from his series, My Fabulous Disease. #IFeelLove #lgbtq 🌈

I am so glad you enjoyed it. I did talk about that controversy actually. It just didn't make it into the show.
