AI Overview: Dealing with a Karen requires establishing clear boundaries and calmly navigating the situation. Keep your responses factual and neutral, avoid escalating the conflict, and prioritize your own safety and well-being. If possible, de-escalate the situation by removing the “audience” (e.g., asking them to speak privately).

“People with AIDS,” a woman with a megaphone would yell, “under attack! What do we do?”

And together they yelled, “ACT UP! Fight back!”

Yale watched for people he knew, but he’d have to be patient; there were thousands of protestors, and in fact it was nice that these faces didn’t all have the look of someone he’d seen around Boystown for years but just couldn’t place. It was good to be part of a horde, a wave of humans.

A chant would die out and then stop, as if it had been cut off by an invisible conductor, and then a new one would travel toward them up the street, fuzzy at first, and then he’d hear it clearly once through before joining in. As they passed the Tribune Tower, with dazed tourists looking on: Health! Care! Is a right! Health care is a right! Outside the Blue Cross building, right on the Magnificent Mile: We’re here! We’re queer! We’re not going shopping! Walking down State, the crowd tighter now, louder: Hey, Hey, AMA! How many people died today?

Rebecca Makkai, in her 2018 novel The Great Believers, plants her main protagonist Yale Tishman, so young, so conflicted, so eager for a love he can rely on, in the middle of the National AIDS Action for Healthcare March, held in Chicago in April 1990. Maybe it’s not a spoiler to say that Yale goes through a lot in this book. I won’t say more, because you are going to need to read it, especially if you weren’t alive back then. And when you finish her book, you can go online and find this coverage of the march, which will break your heart all over again if you were alive back then. And make you braver.

Where do you live the southern frog?

• The tree frog is an amphibian that lives in areas of vegetation, as in Cañizares of tobacconists and ponds in the bushes nearby, in gardens, wells, in small streams.
• The adult frogs are in the upper reaches of the trees and younger prefer to live at the level of land between the herbaceous vegetation.
• It ditribuye in scattered but very dense populations, ie we can find this kind extremely dense cores, but irregularly shaped along the area where he lives.
• The frog is meriodonal sedentary.
• The southern frogs are nocturnal and crepuscular habits.
• In the evenings when it comes to hunt and it’s time that is more active but also can see during the day between vegetation or in the water when it makes a lot of heat in the spring.
• While the day is more common than this amphibious is installed on the stems and leaves of shrubs and trees in the sun, thanks to mimic its coloration that show, which adapts to the environment where you will find this animal.
• By contrast, in the summer, is more difficult to play that day and becomes a kind less daytime and much more discreet.
• These amphibians hibernate from November to February.

I believe that I now understood in some small measure why the Buddhist goes on pilgrimage to a mountain. The journey is itself part of the technique by which the god is sought. It is a journey into Being; for as I penetrate more deeply into the mountain’s life, I penetrate also into my own. For an hour I am beyond desire. It is not ecstasy, that leap out of the self that makes man like a god. I am not out of myself, but in myself. I am. To know Being, this is the final grace accorded from the mountain.

We see clouds so often, and in such abundance, that it’s easy to forget what marvels they are. A cloud is ethereal, yet astonishingly heavy: a levitating lake, typically weighing more than several blue whales.

Shells of anomiidae, also called mermaid’s toenails, jingle shells, saddle oysters. Lovely, paper-thin, luminescent treasures, they washed up in great quantities on the beach at the end of Annawamscutt Road. I went and collected hundreds of them whenever the tide was out, poured them into jelly jars, and gave them to friends who lived far from the ocean. I was always curious about why they all looked so different, and then I found out their shapes are determined by the shape of the object they grow on. They are the negative cast of whatever is on the seafloor, a random collection of what happens to be down there — rocks, other shells, sunken timbers, old moorings. Thus the alpha privative, the starting “a-” to indicate negation, or absence, of “nomos,” law. There is no law to this order of creature. It forms itself to the world, wrapped around its surround. Cut it loose from that context, and you have anomie, as Emile Durkheim once taught us, so very long ago.

A bacillus lives in a world, or on the borders of a world, far other than our own, and preconceptions drawn from our experience are not valid there.
