Blacking Out - Account Inactive
2 min read
In support of the Stop SOPA/PIPA protests, this account, and all of my online accounts for other websites, will be blacked out, and unused until the 19th of January. I strongly urge all of you to do the same.

World AIDS Day 2011
9 min read
1st December is World AIDS Day.
Please make an effort to spread awareness, and to commemorate those who have lost their lives to AIDS related causes and those who are still living with HIV and AIDS.
Please, take some time to think about HIV and AIDS on this day especially. Spread awareness by telling your friends about HIV and AIDS, make a Facebook status, share it on your blog, or tweet about it. Perhaps link to the group HIV-Awareness or to the educational links I will provide below.
World AIDS Day on 1 December brings together people from around the world to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS and demonstrate international solidarity in the face of the pandemic. The day is an opportunity for public and private partners to spread awareness about the status of the pandemic and encourage progress in HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and care in high prevalence countries and around the world.
According to UNAIDS estimates, there are now 34 million people living with HIV. During 2010 some 2.7 million people became newly infected with the virus, including an estimated 390,000 children. Despite a significant decline in the estimated number of AIDS-related deaths over the last five years, there were still an estimated 1.8 million AIDS-related deaths in 2010.
Between 2011-2015, World AIDS Days will have the theme of Getting to Zero: Zero New HIV Infections. Zero Discrimination and Zero AIDS-Related Deaths.. The World AIDS Campaign focus on "Zero AIDS related deaths" signifies a push towards greater access to treatment for all; a call for governments to act now.
The decision to go with the millennium development related goal of "Getting to Zero" comes after extensive discussions among people living with HIV, health activists, broader civil society and many others – more than a hundred organizations in all.
Wear a red ribbon.
The red ribbon is an international symbol of AIDS awareness that is worn by people all year round and particularly around World AIDS Day to demonstrate care and concern about HIV and AIDS, and to remind others of the need for their support and commitment.
The red ribbon started as a "grass roots" effort; as a result there is no one official AIDS ribbon manufacturer, and many people make their own. It's easily done - just use some ordinary red ribbon and a safety pin!
If you want to take your awareness raising a step further then try finding a local event to take part in. Around the world there are hundreds of activities taking place to mark World AIDS Day, including candlelight vigils, art shows, marches and religious services. If you can't find anything in your area then why not organise an event yourself?
