Here is an op-ed in the distinct perspective of Rebecca Culshaw's Substack, titled "We Need to Find AIDS Agent X," blending her skepticism of HIV causation, the call for a new nosology, and the push for an inflammation-based paradigm: We Need to Find AIDS Agent X For decades, the global scientific corpus has insisted that HIV is the singular engine of the AIDS epidemic. But the mountain of evidence disproving this hypothesis has become insurmountable for those willing to look with clear eyes. HIV, as I've exhaustively documented, is not the cause of AIDS. The persistence of this myth has stymied scientific progress and distracted brilliant minds from confronting the real medical crisis at hand: the syndrome we called AIDS continues, and the question remains—what does unite its many victims? If we are brave enough to abandon the failed paradigm, we encounter a new landscape: a paradigm defined by immune dysregulation, chronic inflammation, and a complex web of risk factors that go far beyond the so-called “old risk groups.” In this inflammation paradigm, immune collapse is not the punishment of viral infection, but the common consequence of a much broader array of insults—environmental, chemical, toxicological, and perhaps microbial in ways radically different than "HIV causes AIDS" ever allowed. The so-called “HIV risk groups”—gay men, intravenous drug users, hemophiliacs, and others—are merely the canaries in the coal mine of our toxic modern world. This shift in nosology demands the humility to admit that science does not have all the answers. It also demands the courage to pursue the most important question left unanswered by the failed HIV theory: if not HIV, then what? What, or who, is Agent X? Agent X may not be a single infectious agent at all. It may represent a constellation of exposures, a storm of chronic inflammatory insults interacting with individual genetic susceptibility. Or Agent X could be an entirely novel entity—perhaps a latent or mischaracterized pathogen that has escaped detection by those fixated on HIV's dogma. Unraveling this riddle will require new thinking, openness to environmental and iatrogenic explanations, and a scientific community willing to abandon prestige in service to truth. Those genuinely suffering from the set of conditions called "AIDS" deserve more than the circular logic and moralizing of the old paradigm. They deserve a rigorous, evidence-based investigation into what binds them together. We need to find Agent X—not only to bring clarity to AIDS, but to illuminate the broader epidemic of chronic inflammation, immune collapse, and deteriorating public health across the developed and developing world. Science must move on. Let us do the hard, honest work of identifying Agent X, so the next decade is defined not by denial, but discovery.

Send us a textImagine discovering a time capsule that reveals the birth of leather culture—the codes, practices, and fierce spirit of resistance that shaped our community. Larry Townsend's Leatherman's Handbook, originally published in 1972, was exactly that: a revolutionary document that dared to say "your desires are valid" when society labeled kinky people as mentally ill.When Edge first discovered this book as a young leather person in the late 1980s, it was nothing short of "a lightning bolt of revelation." Now, after decades of being virtually unobtainable (unless you were willing to pay $400 for a used copy), this foundational text has been reprinted, allowing a new generation to connect with leather's origins.The available edition combines both the original 1972 text and Townsend's 1997 Silver Jubilee commentary, offering a fascinating dual perspective—showing leather culture at its emergence and then through the devastating impact of the AIDS crisis. What makes this historical document so surprisingly relevant today is its portrayal of leather's political roots. The central figure wasn't the leather uniform cop but the outlaw biker—a symbol of defiance against constant police harassment and criminalization.This episode explores what parts of Townsend's vision remain valuable today: the accessibility of leather identity (requiring minimal gear investment), the importance of community protection and solidarity, and the understanding that leather practices have always varied by region rather than following rigid "Old Guard" protocols. Edge doesn't shy away from acknowledging the dated elements—the rigid roles, exclusionary focus on cis gay men, and terminology now considered offensive—while highlighting how our community has evolved beyond these limitations.Whether you're a leather history buff or simply curious about the foundations of kink culture, this episode offers both historical context and thought-provoking questions about what parts of our heritage deserve reclaiming. The Leatherman's Handbook wasn't just a sex manual—it was the blueprint for a community of resistance and mutual support that continues to inspire us today.Support the showAsk Edge!

The Royal We (Akashic Books, 2025) is a poetic survey of a time set in a magical city that once was and is no more. It is a memoir written by Roddy Bottum, a musician and artist, that documents through prose his coming of age and out of the closet in 1980s San Francisco, a charged era of bicycle messengers, punk rock, street witches, wheatgrass, and rebellion. The book follows his travels from Los Angeles, growing up gay with no role models, to San Francisco, where he formed Faith No More and went on to tour the world relentlessly, surviving heroin addiction and the plight of AIDS, to become a queer icon. The book is an elevated wallop of tongue and insight, much more than a tell-all. There are personal tales of historical pinnacles like Kurt and Courtney, Guns N' Roses, and recaps of gold records and arena rock—but it's the testimonies of tragedy and addiction and preposterous life-spins that make this work so unique and intriguing. Bottum writes about his dark and harrowing past in a clear-eyed voice that is utterly devoid of self-pity, and his emboldened and confident pronouncements of achievement and unorthodox heroism flow in an unstoppable train that's both captivating and inspirational. A remarkable portrayal of a creative individual in emergence, a gay man figuring out how to be a gay man, and a detailed look at the nuance of 1980s pre–tech boom San Francisco, The Royal We will be greatly appreciated by people who loved Kathleen Hanna's Rebel Girl, Patti Smith's Just Kids, Hua Hsu's Stay True, and other memoirs about the artist's life.

Here is an expanded, multi-act play dramatizing the philosophical conflict and personal effort to foster a paradigm shift in AIDS research. The Paradigm Shift: A Play in Three Acts Here are the three Characters Rebecca Culshaw – Mathematician and critic of AIDS orthodoxy Karl Popper – Philosopher of science, logic-driven Thomas Kuhn – Philosopher of science, historically minded The Colleague – A skeptical scientist (optional for Act II-III) Act I – The Summoning Setting: Culshaw's cluttered study at midnight. A window is open, letting in a cold breeze. Culshaw is hunched over papers. Suddenly, mysterious figures materialize. Popper (stepping closer): Rebecca, do you know why we have come? Culshaw (startled but curious): I sense you bear advice. Kuhn (smiling softly): Your struggle echoes in the halls of scientific history. Few have challenged entrenched paradigms and lived to see the world change. Culshaw: The AIDS narrative is unyielding. Criticism draws scorn, not reasoned dialogue. How do I crack this shell? Popper: Treat the theory as a scientific hypothesis. Identify its core claims. What would it take to disprove them? Ask the establishment this at every turn. Kuhn: Yet do not forget, paradigm shifts require more than refutation. You must nurture a community—make them feel the cracks and offer a new framework. Popper: Truth is not a popularity contest, Kuhn. Kuhn: But consensus rules until new puzzles make the old vision unbearable. Culshaw: You mean I need both: a demonstration of failure and a replacement vision? Popper & Kuhn (together): Precisely. Fade out. Act II – Testing the Fortress Setting: A scientific conference. Culshaw stands before a skeptical audience, including The Colleague. Culshaw: Suppose key HIV tests predict nothing about immune decline. Suppose AIDS definitions are shifting sands. What, then, does our theory become? Colleague: You twist anomalies into attacks. What of the millions of lives believed saved? Popper: (now imagined at her shoulder) Demand evidence. Show that lives were saved by measurable intervention, not just by post hoc rationalization. Kuhn: Frame your findings as questions that the current theory cannot answer. Let the audience witness the struggle. Culshaw: Here are cases where test and disease do not align, where drugs harm, where predictions fail. This is not a collection of quirks—it is a crisis. Colleague: Science will patch these gaps. Popper: Only if the patches themselves are testable—not ad hoc excuses. Kuhn: And as the failures accumulate and the story loses coherence, your role shifts. Offer new lenses through which researchers can view their puzzles anew. Culshaw: I will. Here is a framework where immune collapse arises from multifactor exposures, not a virus. Here predictions become clear, testable, vulnerable to refutation. Colleague (uncertain): It is bold, but is it enough? Popper: Make it falsifiable. Kuhn: Make it irresistible. Fade to black. Act III – Turning the Tide The Setting: Culshaw's study, months later. She pores over data. Papers about her new model are being discussed worldwide. Popper: Are your ideas withstanding scrutiny? Culshaw: Some have tried to refute them. Some admit their theories don't predict as well. Kuhn: Is a community embracing the new framework? Culshaw: Slowly. Some see the anomaly pattern. Some consider new research. The old guard resists—naturally. Popper: The measure is not in popularity, but precision. Do not shy from critique. Kuhn: And always tend to the new paradigm's coherence. Invite others to build upon it. A real shift is communal. Culshaw: Thank you, Karl. Thank you, Thomas. Let science decide—through rigor, vision, and openness—not through the chill of consensus alone. Popper and Kuhn fade, their voices echoing: Popper: Progress thrives on falsification. Kuhn: And transformation blooms with imagination. Culshaw, alone, presses onward, her desk now a beacon among the cluttered battleground of ideas. End.  

Rebecca Culshaw Smith's Substack, “The Real AIDS Epidemic,” highlights core criticisms of mainstream HIV/AIDS theory, medical testing, pharmaceutical practices, and challenges to scientific orthodoxy. Based on her popular posts, interviews, and thematic content, these are 20 of the most important ideas advanced on her platform: 1. Questioning the existence of HIV as a unique virus, arguing that classic virological isolation (Koch's postulates) has not been fulfilled. 2. Highlighting the non-specificity and cross-reactivity of HIV antibody tests, leading to potential misdiagnosis. 3. Criticism of “viral load” PCR tests for not detecting whole pathogens but only RNA fragments. 4. Noting the shifting criteria for HIV test positivity over time, calling diagnostic standards into question. 5. Documenting long-term “non-progressors” and “elite controllers” who remain healthy without antiretroviral therapy. 6. Raising awareness of AIDS-defining illnesses in HIV-negative individuals and questioning causality. 7. Arguing that hazard from AIDS medications (e.g., AZT, Truvada, Prep) may outweigh their benefits, especially due to their toxicity and inconsistent trial results. 8. Critique of the marketing and deployment of pre-exposure prophylaxis (Prep), calling it a pharmaceutical “scandal” targeting people not at significant risk. 9.Exploring how COVID-19 public health narratives mirror what she views as deception and fear tactics from the AIDS era. 10. Disputing the epidemiological narrative that AIDS is globally caused by a single infectious agent, and highlighting massive regional/demographic inconsistencies. 11. Exposing groupthink, censorship, and reputational shaming used against scientists questioning the HIV/AIDS paradigm. 12. Emphasizing failures of antiretroviral therapy in preventing disease progression for many patients. 13.. Explaining the statistical and mathematical problems in foundational HIV/AIDS research and the “shaky foundation” of guiding studies. 14. Arguing that AIDS-defining diseases may often reflect toxicity, malnutrition, or existing comorbidities, not a distinct viral syndrome. 15. Linking historical and social factors (such as drug use, pharmaceutical incentives) to the creation and persistence of the HIV/AIDS establishment. 16. Alerting readers to issues of false positive antenatal screening and broader concerns about mass diagnostic testing in medicine. 17. Suggesting that “virus-like particles” in the body  are misidentified as pathogens, not proof of HIV's existence. 18. Forecasting that advances in AI and technology may help overturn scientific “consensus” by increasing transparency and debate. 19 Publicly refuting hit pieces and attempts to “cancel” her work as ideological suppression, not science. 20.Advocating for a return to fundamental scientific rigor and genuine skepticism in medical research, especially around virology and public health narratives. These topics synthesize her core objections to HIV/AIDS orthodoxy and frame her Substack as a point of dissent and critique against modern medical paradigms and their social consequences.

From Perplexity A.I.   A close look at the facts about Kaposi's Sarcoma may cause a major shift in the AIDS PARADIGM. If autopsy studies—such as those reported by George Hensley—found that nearly all AIDS patients show internal Kaposi's Sarcoma (KS) lesions, yet not all such patients test positive for HHV-8 (Human Herpesvirus 8), this discrepancy fundamentally challenges the prevailing theory that HHV-8 is the sole and necessary causal agent for KS in AIDS. Evidence from Autopsy Studies Hensley's team found KS-like lesions in about 95% of AIDS autopsies, far exceeding the clinical diagnosis rate and implying KS is almost universal internally among AIDS patients. These autopsies revealed a broad morphologic spectrum and inflammatory variants of KS present in nearly all risk groups, independent of external symptoms. HHV-8 Positivity is Not Universal The scientific literature overwhelmingly associates HHV-8 with most cases of KS, detecting viral DNA in a majority of lesions. However, case reports and pathology studies document KS-like tumors in HIV-positive patients that are negative for HHV-8 by immunohistochemistry—a finding dubbed “atypical spindled endothelial proliferation,” with classic histologic and clinical features still matching KS. This existence of HHV-8-negative KS challenges the central paradigm tying KS causation strictly to HHV-8, especially when these lesions are indistinguishable from those found in HHV-8-positive patients. Implications for the Role of HHV-8 If widespread KS lesions occur in AIDS patients regardless of HHV-8 status, it raises questions about the sufficiency and necessity of HHV-8 for KS pathogenesis. The data suggest that either: KS can arise independently of HHV-8, possibly due to immune dysfunction, chronic inflammation, or exposure to other infectious or environmental agents, or Current HHV-8 detection methods may miss variants or low-level infections, or that HHV-8 acts in concert with other pathogenic factors, not alone. This challenges therapeutic and diagnostic practices that rely solely on HHV-8 as a biomarker or causal link and opens a line of inquiry: Are there alternative mechanisms or cofactors in KS development—particularly in the unique immunological milieu of AIDS? Overall, the autopsy data and reports of HHV-8 negative KS suggest that the role of HHV-8 in Kaposi's Sarcoma—especially in the context of AIDS—is not as clear-cut or exclusive as often assumed. This demands a re-examination of KS pathogenesis in immunosuppressed populations and a more nuanced model that allows for multiple contributing factors.

In little Arcadia in southwest Florida in the 1980s, two tragedies became national news: the exoneration of a Black father wrongfully convicted in 1968 for the death of his seven children, and three little white boys being ostracized from the community after contracting the AIDS virus through blood transfusions. Jason Vuic grew up in nearby Ponta Gorda and remembers following these events closely as they unfolded. He dug back into the stories, and the story of Arcadia, in his newly released book for fall of 2025, "A Town Without Pity: AIDS, Race, and Resistance in Florida's Deep South."If the James Richardson portion of this episode interests you, be sure to visit our Florida Black History YouTube channel with all of our previous shows about Black History in Florida.

A potential functional cure for HIV could be just months away from human trials. Dr. Lanna reveals how her company Sentcell is using cellular rejuvenation to eliminate HIV reservoirs—and the surprising anti-aging benefits that come with it.n this groundbreaking interview, Dr. Lanna, founder and CEO of Sentcell, explains how his team has developed a revolutionary approach to HIV treatment that could eliminate the need for lifelong antiretroviral therapy. Unlike traditional strategies that target the virus directly, Sentcell's method uses a molecule called DOS to rejuvenate CD4 T-cells, triggering them to naturally clear HIV DNA from their own genomes through a process that mimics elite controllers—rare individuals who can suppress HIV without medication. The treatment works by reactivating dormant cellular pathways that outcompete HIV's integration machinery, effectively reversing viral integration and clearing infected cells within days to weeks. Beyond HIV, Dr. Lanna discusses his team's discovery of "rivers of telomeres"—vesicle structures released by rejuvenated T-cells that can systemically rejuvenate other organs and extend lifespan by 12-17 months in animal studies. With Phase 1 human trials planned for 2026 at University College London, this research represents a potential paradigm shift from managing HIV as a chronic condition to achieving a functional cure.

4/4: This file covers CMB aftermath, Gamow's vindication, and Hoyle's controversial final years. CMB proved Big Bang theory, establishing cosmos temperature at 2.73 Kelvin and age at 13.8 billion years. Gamow (died 1968) wrote Princeton researchers, seeking recognition for his and Ralph Alpher's 1940s CMBcalculations. Hoyle's work with Margaret and Geoffrey Burbidge and William Fowler on heavy elements was genius, but only Fowler received the Nobel Prize. Hoyle never forgave Willie Fowler. Speculation includes the committee distancing from Hoyle's fringe theories or Hans Bethe misunderstanding Hoyle's role. Hoyle moved to Lake District, pursuing panspermia theory—life spreading via cosmic travelers. He rejected Darwinian evolution, claiming Earth too young, ironically gaining young-earth creationist support despite atheism. He proposed diseases like AIDS arrived via comets, viewed as eccentric. Both were "seat-of-the-pants thinkers," though Hoyle more stubbornly clung to strange concepts. Flashes of Creation: George Gamow, Fred Hoyle, and the Great Big Bang Debate, by Paul Halpern

Pianist and singer Liberace was one-of-a-kind with big dimples, pompadour hair, huge rings on his fingers and expensive and flamboyant suits and capes. No one had his flair or style and he had a great dynamic with his audience, proclaiming often that he agreed with Mae West when she said, "Too much of a good thing, is wonderful." He was once the highest paid entertainer in the world. When one thinks of Liberace, the first thing that comes to mind are the costumes. Oh, those costumes! He grew up at a time when being openly gay was frowned upon and even dangerous and thus he denied his homosexuality all the way to his death from AIDS. So much talent and style couldn't possibly just go away with death. His spirit still watches over his collections. Join us for the life and afterlife of Liberace!

Before the Pink Ribbon, talking about breast cancer was taboo. In this episode, we uncover the shocking and inspiring history of breast cancer awareness and the three women who defied a dismissive medical establishment to save millions of lives. Author Judith L. Pearson joins us to discuss her groundbreaking book, "Radical Sisters," revealing how Shirley Temple Black, Rose Kushner, and Evelyn Lauder launched a revolution from their hospital beds and boardrooms. How did a child star, a determined journalist, and a cosmetics mogul tear down the wall of silence and change medicine forever?This deep dive into the evolution of breast cancer advocacy explores the dark ages of treatment and the courageous fight for patient rights. Judith L. Pearson details the brutal radical mastectomy history, specifically the disfiguring Halstead radical mastectomy, a procedure that persisted long after it was proven ineffective. We revisit the pivotal moment of Shirley Temple Black breast cancer advocacy when the beloved star held an unprecedented 1972 press conference from her hospital room, urging women not to be afraid and to perform self-exams. The episode then follows the tenacious activist Rose Kushner and the one-step procedure, a barbaric practice where women went in for a biopsy and woke up with their breasts removed without their consent. Kushner's relentless research and in-your-face advocacy, including a daring appearance on the Donahue show, forced the medical community to confront its paternalism. Finally, we explore the origins of the Evelyn Lauder Pink Ribbon Campaign and her "department store" concept for cancer care at Memorial Sloan Kettering, which was born from the frustrating and fragmented patient experience. This interview sheds light on the complete history of breast cancer awareness, from comparing the fight for funding to the AIDS movement to the discovery of the BRCA gene mutation, revealing a story of courage, tragedy, and ultimate triumph.About Our Guest:Judith L. Pearson is an author and historical biographer specializing in uncovering the stories of overlooked heroes. In her book, "Radical Sisters: The Women Who Pushed for and Paved the Way to Breast Cancer Awareness," she reveals the untold story of the three women whose personal battles and public advocacy transformed medicine and created the modern breast cancer movement.Timestamps / Chapters:(00:00) The Three Women Who Transformed Breast Cancer Awareness(03:31) Shirley Temple Black's Groundbreaking 1972 Announcement(06:05) Rose Kushner's Daring Appearance on the Donahue Show(09:07) The Near-Death Experiences That Shaped the "Radical Sisters"(14:38) How Shirley Temple's Press Conference Changed Everything(19:22) The Brutal History of the Halstead Radical Mastectomy(24:19) Rose Kushner's Fight Against the "One-Step Procedure"(29:56) Evelyn Lauder's Philanthropic Vision Before and After Her Diagnosis(32:28) Learning from the AIDS Movement to Fight for Funding(36:04) Evelyn Lauder's "Department Store" Concept for Cancer Care(40:10) The True Origin Story of the Pink Ribbon Campaign

By the mid-1980s, Ronald Reagan was riding high. The economy had bounced back, and his “Morning in America” message carried him to a landslide re-election. But behind the optimism, crises brewed. At home, the AIDS epidemic spread while the White House stayed silent. Abroad, Reagan's “evil empire” speech, nuclear near-misses, and the launch of his “Star Wars” missile defense plan pushed the Cold War to its most dangerous point in decades. Then came a new face in Moscow, Mikhail Gorbachev, and the first real chance to imagine a world without nuclear weapons. Was Reagan's success during these years a triumph of vision, or of image? In this episode, join Katty Kay and Anthony Scaramucci as they explore the highs, the crises, and the contradictions that defined the most pivotal stretch of his presidency.

This segment unpacks the potent intersection of queer identity, HIV stigma, and religious condemnation through a Pulitzer-winning musical. We explore how faith-based shame and societal neglect, especially during the AIDS crisis, weaponized pain against the LGBTQ+ community, leading to immeasurable loss and continued fear, even with life-saving medications. It's a stark reminder that bigotry costs lives, and that societal acceptance still lags behind medical progress, particularly for marginalized groups. When "morality" dictates who deserves care, humanity truly suffers.News Source: Black Gay Playwright Michael R. Jackson Talks HIV Stigma, PrEP, and the Tyler Perry Film Inside His Strange Loop By Darian Aaron for GLAAD August 13, 2025 

From award-winning writer Sarah Schulman, a longtime social activist and outspoken critic of the Israeli war on Gaza, comes The Fantasy and Necessity of Solidarity (Penguin, 2025). This book is a brilliant examination of the inherent psychological and social challenges to solidarity movements, and what that means for the future For those who seek to combat injustice, solidarity with the oppressed is one of the highest ideals, yet it does not come without complication. In this searing yet uplifting book, award-winning writer and cultural critic Sarah Schulman delves into the intricate and often misunderstood concept of solidarity to provide a new vision for what it means to engage in this work—and why it matters. To grapple with solidarity, Schulman writes, we must recognize its inherent fantasies. Those being oppressed dream of relief, that a bystander will intervene though it may not seem to be in their immediate interest to do so, and that the oppressor will be called out and punished. Those standing in solidarity with the oppressed are occluded by a different fantasy: that their intervention is effective, that it will not cost them, and that they will be rewarded with friendship and thanks. Neither is always the case, and yet in order to realize our full potential as human beings in relation with others, we must continue to pursue action towards these shared goals. Within this framework, Schulman examines a range of case studies, from the fight for abortion rights in post-Franco Spain, to NYC's AIDS activism in the 1990s, to the current wave of campus protest movements against Israel's war on Gaza, and her own experience growing up as a queer female artist in male dominated culture industries. Drawing parallels between queer, Palestinian, feminist, and artistic struggles for justice, Schulman challenges the traditional notion of solidarity as a simple union of equals, arguing that in today's world of globalized power structures, true solidarity requires the collaboration of bystanders and conflicted perpetrators with the excluded and oppressed. That action comes at a cost, and is not always effective. And yet without it we sentence ourselves to a world without progressive change towards visions of liberation. By turns challenging, inspiring, pragmatic, and poetic, The Fantasy and Necessity of Solidarity provides a much-needed path for how we can work together to create a more just, more equitable present and future. Sarah Schulman is a novelist, playwright, screenwriter, nonfiction writer, and AIDS historian.

Her writing has appeared in The New Yorker, New York, Harper's Magazine, The Atlantic, The Nation, The New Republic, The New York Times, and The Guardian.

This week we are zeroing in on controlling the shoulders - how your rein placement, leg aids, and bend keep the forehand on track - plus quick coaching on rehab riding, stiff-sided horses, and whether (or not) to show. 30 Days to Round is underway, and the first live call covered what “forward” really means (spoiler: not just faster).HighlightsHands: Left hand stays left, right stays right—no crossing. Ride leg to hand with an elastic feel.Legs = rails: Inside leg creates bend; outside leg + outside rein control the outside shoulder so it doesn't leak out.Rehab on straight lines: Ride shoulder-fore left, then right along the same long side; add only big circles if allowed.Stiff on one side: Start with 5 minutes of groundwork (turns on the forehand), then ride and change direction often (hard → easy → hard).“I get it, then lose it”: Return to the sequence: Groundwork → Forward → Bend → Round. Small correct moments build topline strength.30 Days to Round RecapOur first live lecture was all about Forward and the recording is now available. Next up is Aids for Roundness on Monday 22nd! I cannot wait for this lecture!Happy Riding,AmeliaPS. There's still time to join 30 Days to Round and catch all of the incredible lectures and content! Check it out here!

O corpo da atriz não é só presença em cena. É ferramenta, território e, muitas vezes, trincheira. A cada personagem, ele carrega marcas de desejo, de violência, de afeto e de luta. No palco, na tela ou na novela, o corpo é sempre político: traduz histórias coletivas, provoca imaginários, tensiona preconceitos. Bruna Linzmeyer construiu sua carreira nesse lugar de fronteira. De Linda, a jovem autista em Amor à Vida, até Uma Paciência Selvagem Me Trouxe Até Aqui, que percorreu festivais internacionais, seus trabalhos são atravessados por temas que ampliam debates sociais. Agora, ela estreia na HBO Max em Máscaras de Oxigênio (Não) Cairão Automaticamente, série que revisita a epidemia de Aids nos anos 80 para falar de solidariedade, risco e resistência. Hoje, a gente vai conversar sobre esse corpo político que ela empresta às personagens — e que também é o corpo da atriz, da torcedora apaixonada pelo futebol feminino, da artista que quer contar novas histórias.

This week Superhero Ethics dives deep into the "bury your gays" trope—where LGBTQ+ characters disproportionately meet tragic ends—examining its history, evolution, and modern implications, and whether it can be applied to the death of Cinta in Andor.The conversation begins with the trope's roots in 19th century British law and the Hays Code, which allowed "bad behavior" to be depicted on screen only if characters faced consequences. Tracing this trope from there all the way to the modern day, the episode explores how social media amplified fan outrage and created lasting change in how writers approach queer storylines.The hosts wrestle with whether Cinta's death in Andor constitutes “burying your gays,” given that many characters die in the show's realistic portrayal of rebellion. They examine how the lack of queer representation in the broader Star Wars franchise adds weight to this single relationship, and whether it's fair to hold individual creators responsible for franchise-wide representation gaps. The discussion reveals how intersectionality compounds the problem—Cinta was both the queer character and the character of color in an interracial relationship.The episode highlights positive examples like Schitt's Creek, which promised viewers that queer tragedy would never be part of the story, and The Last of Us, which handled queer character deaths in ways that felt organic to the world rather than punitive. The hosts argue that diverse writers' rooms could help creators navigate these sensitive storytelling choices while still allowing for dramatic character deaths when they serve the narrative.Other Topics Covered:The "fridging" trope and its overlap with "bury your gays"How the AIDS crisis shaped media representation in the 1980s-90sThe role of queer coding and queer baiting in modern mediaWhy horror films have evolved to include more surviving queer charactersThe difference between tragic queer stories and queer tragedy as plot deviceImpact of fan shipping on reactions to character deathsDeath scenes following romantic moments: examining harmful patternsPositive portrayals in Station 19, The Dragon Prince, and Harley Quinn**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

In episode 217, host Galit Friedlander and guest Ana Rokafella Garcia (legendary b-girl, co-founder of Full Circle Productions, choreographer, filmmaker, and adjunct professor at The New School), dive into the history, evolution, and impact of hip-hop. From growing up in New York City during the fires, crack epidemic, and AIDS crisis to discovering her voice in cyphers and clubs, Rokafella shares how dance carved out a future for her. She reflects on commercialization, gender dynamics, and visibility in the scene, while urging today's dancers to stay grounded in the culture's foundations. The conversation also touches on breaking at the Olympics, the tension between competition and community, and why hip-hop's resilience continues to guide her work.

How a group of 80's Cuban misfits found rock-and-roll and created a revolution within a revolution, going into exile without ever leaving home.  Reporter Luis Trelles brings us the story of punk rock's arrival in Cuba and a small band of outsiders who sentenced themselves to death and set themselves free. We originally released this episode back in 2015 in a collaboration with Radio Ambulante, but the story is so fascinating (and, in many ways, still relevant) that we haven't stopped thinking about it. Special thanks to the bands VIH, Eskoria, Metamorfosis and Alio Die & Mariolina Zitta for the use of their music. Radio Ambulante launches their 15th season on September 30th!!Check it out, here!!
