Commemorating World AIDS Day: "The world only spins forward."



from Tony Kushner's "Angels in America," the end:

"This disease will be the end of many of us, but not nearly all.  And the dead will be commemorated, and we'll struggle on with the living and we are not going away.  We won't die secret deaths anymore.  The world only spins forward. We will be citizens. The time has come. Bye now. You are fabulous, each and every one and I bless you. More life. The great work begins."

2 Dead in Attack at Community College in Wyoming (Chronicle of Higher Education)
     Two people were killed Friday morning in an attack at Casper College, a community college in Casper, Wyo., the Casper Star-Tribune reported. … The police arrived at the science center shortly after 9 a.m. local time, and the college was locked down. No suspects are at large, say the police. The victims have not been identified. The Star-Tribune article included a secondhand report that the attack involved a bow and arrow, but the local police chief “wouldn’t identify what weapon or weapons were involved, although he said no firearms were used,” the newspaper said. The police have lifted the lockdown, according to a message on the college’s Twitter account, though the college said in a later message that no one would be permitted to enter the science building until the police investigation had concluded.
