Keith was a prolific and collaborative artist and activist. His work has become essential iconography of the New York City art scene in the 1980s. Using vivid colors, black outlines of people and shapes, and dynamic patterns, he first took to the streets to make political and social commentary the crack epidemic, anti-apartheid movements, and other issues of social justice.

A major subject of his art was AIDS awareness. After being diagnosed with AIDS in 1988, he used his work to support the community, fight back against stigma, and break through the silence that shrouded the crisis.

His legacy continues through the work of the Keith Haring Foundation, which supports the community through various programs. Together with Callen-Lorde they have established the Keith Haring Nurse Practitioner Postgraduate Fellowship in LGBTQ+ Health, a full-time, year-long training program that enhances knowledge, increases compassion and brings awareness to the healthcare barriers that LGBTQ+ communities face.

Yesterday, Dr. Demetre Daskalakis joined Dr. Celine Gounder, Danielle Pickering and Kimberleigh Joy Smith for an important and timely discussion at BAM's Everybooty to highlight how q***r healthcare is an act of resistance and what our community should know about keeping themselves and each other safe. Thank you to our panelists for coming together and discussing what our calls to advocacy are and why trusted messengers are necessary to advancing health equity.

And a big thank you to our panel experts and to BAM and Robert Phillip Smith for hosting Callen-Lorde!

Ten years ago on June 12, 2016, our community lost 49 people. They went out that evening for celebration and company in a cherished space for the local community, which ended in one of the worst mass-shootings in US history. Even a decade later, the threat of gun violence still feels present in our day to day lives. The targeting of our community feels more rampant.

One of the most important responses to moments like this is the act of care. Caring enough to show up. Caring enough for each other. Caring as a commitment and resistance.
Today, Orlando will be honoring those lost in the Pulse Remembrance Ceremony. Our hearts are with them.

Additionally, our partners at are holding a community remembrance and rally at the at 6pm. Click here to learn more: https://bit.ly/4uwInJv

William Dorsey Swann is largely considered the first self-identified "queen of drag" in the United States. Born into slavery around 1859, Swann was the fifth of thirteen children. After the civil war ended in 1865, Swann's parents purchased land and started a farm. Swann eventually relocated to Washington D.C., where he worked as a janitor to help support his family.

Establishing himself in Washington's heavily segregated, underground q***r community, Swann began to organize some of the first "drag balls" in the US. These spaces gave the freedom to challenge gender expression but were heavily policed. Arrest could mean sentences of three to ten months.

Swann was eventually sentenced to 300 days in jail. Months into his sentence, Swann filed for an appeal from President Grover Cleveland, organizing his friends and community to sign the petition. Even though it was denied, it's one of the first documented efforts of an American activist using legal steps to protect the rights of q***r people.

After his release, Swann eventually moved back to be with his family, likely because of his now limited work options. He died in 1925, but the balls he helped established continued and expanded across the US.

As things heat up into the summer, keep an eye out for ticks and tick-borne diseases (TBDs). Most New Yorkers get tick bites when they are outside of the city, but cases are reported in more brushy or wooded areas, commonly in parts of the Bronx or Staten Island.

The most common TBDs include: include Lyme disease, babesiosis and anaplasmosis. There are also growing cases of Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS). Primarily caused by lone star tick bites, it can create a mild to severe allergic reaction to the alpha-gal molecule which is found in meat and other animal products.

Here's what you can do:

- Avoid or be cautious of brushy or wooded area.
- Shower within 2 hours of coming in doors.
- Use EPA-registered insect repellent.
- Check for ticks after outdoor activities!
- Tell your provider if you think you may have been bitten and if you find a tick that has bitten you, try to save it for testing!

Enjoy the warm weather and stay safe!
