Very excited for next Tuesday evenings book launch @queercircle of ‘Tonight the Music Seems So Loud - The meaning of George Michael’ by Sathnam Sanghera, published by @panmacmillan
17.11.26 - 6.30-8.30pm - Bldg 4, Design District, 3 Barton Yard, Soames Walk, London SE10 0BN

Hosted by moi, in conversation with Sathnam and followed by Q+A with Jessica Turtle, Founder and Co-Director at Museum of Homelessness and Viv ‘This is My Culture’ and ‘ACT UP’ artiv-ist and producer
About the book.
Tonight the Music Seems So Loud is at once a kaleidoscopic portrait of one of Britain’s most beloved musicians and an account of a strange and turbulent period of British history. In his unconventional and enthralling new book, bestselling author Sathnam Sanghera explores the connection between music and politics, exposes what secrecy does to the soul, and reveals how fame rots the sense of self. Throughout, Sanghera captures, joyfully and poignantly, one of Britain’s greatest artists in all his musical glory.
@sathnamsanghera is the author of multiple bestselling and award-winning works of fiction and non-fiction including Empireland, which won the British Book Award for Narrative Non-Fiction and was made into a documentary for Channel 4, and Marriage Material, which was shortlisted for the Costa First Novel Award and adapted for the stage in 2025.

So moving to read these reflections from Friday's 'ACT UP at 40' calendar launch @bgsqd @lgbtcenternyc .
Huge love to all @actupny involved! Join @ryanfostercasey and @ericsawyernyc next on 15.11.26
"I talked about how for my generation AIDS was our Vietnam, our existential crisis, much the way the climate is for young people now.
The other three speakers told their stories – Fernando found out about ACT UP from a client while working as a spanish speaking social worker; @danettelebron had come from Puerto Rico and was hanging around at the Center, her only connection to queer life, when she heard about it, and Alfredo had just arrived from Argentina.
Ben joined us and talked about doing social work in San Francisco with people dying all the time. We then went on to talk about various actions – the Latino Caucus people talked about protesting inside the Somos gala and organizing a community march in Puerto Rico, as well as translating ACT UP materials and carrying donated HIV meds to other countries when they travelled.
We could have told stories all night, but we had to make way for the next panel. Charlie talked about ACT UP Nation, the effort to coordinate various chapters and individual activists. The next person talked about being an observer and a “memory worker,” a term that was new to me. After that came a trans woman talking about the coalition work ACT UP is doing with trans groups. At some point one of them mentioned the old ACT UP and Ben nudged me and said “We’re the old ones now.” It’s a weird feeling." @katebarnhart1975 , Founding Director
@new_alternatives_nyc
"I found myself on stage. "Situation normal, completely fucked up," said David Feinberg in Fear and Loathing, Rants of a Raging AIDS Queen, published after he died himself. "Who do you have to blow to get arrested around here" he lamented. Oh David, gone too soon. A place we could go, to have a laugh, an outlet for an otherwise horrendous situation, to fight, to find direction, to find meaning as César Carrasco noted in his act up oral history, for meaning making with HIV and trauma, Act up as emotional catharsis." @benjaminshepard / Pic credits @actupny

So re-energised and inspired after spending the weekend with @actup_paris
As expected @actup_paris are fierce, genius, no-bullshit, hilarious and caring militants.
‘This is how we do it in France’ the brilliant artist @yanismarshall said to me as we began the 'ACT UP at 40 - Celebrating Resistance and Demanding Healthcare for All' French calendar launch.
No speeches or talks just camaraderie, hugs, sexy music and then blasting into the main streets selling the calendars yelling ‘ACT UP!' 'JUSTICE for People with HIV!' outside all the wealthier gay bars.
By the end of the night we had no calendars left. Hilarious.
And it was actually my darlin @chavboy75018 in Pic 1 here who inspired me to re-start @actup_london in 2013 so it was a full circle moment to go there and meet all the other ACT UP Paris comrades Id been dreaming of meeting too.
When these firecrackers are not fighting for HIV healthcare so many of them are leading union organisers and striking teachers demanding change on the streets of Paris inspiring the next generation to fight for their rights ... and in many cases winning.
So thank you @aripipetasse @pierrealexandre18 @jeanpatrickfabre @marcantoine.bartoli @fabouille75 @maelle_delmas @yanismarshall @mvincentd Justine al - keep blazing a trail. @actup_london can't wait to unite for World AIDS Day (Friends DM me for intel).
"AIDS is not inevitable, and our lives are not up for negotiation. Yet AIDS is still killing. Cuts to international aid will lead to more than six million additional, preventable deaths by 2029. In France, half of migrants living with HIV contracted the virus after arriving in the country. Trans women are 66 times more likely to be living with HIV than the general population. In French prisons, HIV prevalence is six to ten times higher than in the general population. The 2030 target will not be met. Our anger remains undiminished. Our fight goes on." @aripipetasse , Co-Secrétaire Générale, @actup_paris (pic credits to Ana too)

In 2027, ‘AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power’ (ACT UP) turns 40. To mark four decades of radical HIV/AIDS activism, Schwules Museum seasoned activists and a new generation of organisers to ask: What can ACT UP teach us now?
This event will launch the ACT UP at 40: Celebrating Resistance and Demanding Healthcare for All — Calendar 2027, bringing together previously unseen photographs and footage from ACT UP chapters around the world alongside daily reminders of protest.
The launch will be accompanied by a conversation with ACT UP activist and compiler of the calendar Dan Glass who is currently active in the struggle against police harassment and for LGBTQIA+ and HIV+ freedom.

@bgsqd at the @lgbtcenternyc host a gathering and discussion for community members to begin celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the AIDS Coalition To Unleash Power.
Panelists from ACT UP 101 and the next generation spoke of honoring ACT UP’s legacy in fighting back to end the AIDS crisis and to demand healthcare for all.
Members of the ACT UP’s Latino Caucus spoke of the necessity and urgency in recognizing Latino communities over the last 40 years and understanding the complexities and the beauty in coalition building.
Current ACT UP members spoke of how ending the AIDS crisis is deeply intertwined with gender affirming healthcare, liberation for Palestine, and abolishing ICE.

To commemorate World AIDS Day, @actup_london and @lifeatkings invite you to a screening of Jim Hubbard’s film (2012) United in Anger.
This inspiring documentary charts the birth and life of the AIDS activist movement from the perspective of people in the trenches, fighting the epidemic and battling against corporate greed, social indifference and government neglect.
Combining insightful interviews from the @actuporalhistoryproject with rare archival footage, the film depicts activism from a grassroots perspective, with a small group of men and women of all races and classes coming together to change the world and save lives.
A panel 'Revolutionising the AIDS Response' will follow and the 'ACT UP at 40 Calendar' will be available for purchase.
This event is co-hosted by @queeratkings, @proudlykings and the Centre for Public Policy Research. Tickets via @queeratkings and the linktree in my bio. Calendars can be purchased via etsy there too.

Like all good teachers a friend from ACT UP advised me yesterday to think calmly and strategically about our upcoming @actup_london World AIDS Day (Dec 1st) protest.
And like all good students, I listened, took space to critically reflect and disobeyed.
Whilst they are one of the best teachers I learn from, he exists in a sea of ghosts.
I sometimes wonder what it would be like to be in a classroom with the smiling faces and wise eyes of Phyllis Sharpe, Derek Jarman, Freddie Mercury, Simon Nkoli, Ian Charleson, John Mordaunt, John Campbell, Ray Navarro, @terrencehigginstrust , Mark Ashton, Leigh O'Neill, Sheila Gilchrist and the many others who we've lost in the AIDS genocide, taken too soon to pharmaceutical greed and government inaction.
My HIV+ blood boils knowing that people think the AIDS crisis is resolved when 23 million people will likely die by 2030 because of the humungous government cuts that have taken place this year according to @the.independent *
He suggested that we should aim for 50 people for this year's protest but I reckon my other teachers might think differently.
So if you want to lie down with us in a minutes silence to remember the dead and fight like hell for the living this December 1st morning please DM me and I can share further details.
'I was never taught how to love, or what it might mean for someone like me to feel desire. For a long time, I didn't even know if there was a word for what I was and what I felt. By the time of age there was nobody left to teach me. And none of the voices that I heard sounded like mine.' Sam Moore 'All my teachers died of AIDS' published @pilotpresslondon.
