"And the Band Played On is a 1993 American television film docudrama directed by Roger Spottiswoode. The teleplay by Arnold Schulman is based on the best-selling 1987 non-fiction book And the Band Played On: Politics, People, and the AIDS Epidemic by Randy Shilts, and is noteworthy for featuring both a vast historical scope, as well as an exceptionally sprawling cast."

I saw elsewhere here someone saying to stop using #Huel because it's ultimately camping food. One of my #neurospicy friends recommended it & my order came today. I'm sharing because for many #autistic people food prep is very draining & getting the #nutrition we need can be a challenge. I have the privilege of a very thoughtful & culinary partner who's kept me fed for over 2 decades. But this new career post gradschool has messed up my eating routine & I hope this will be a good supplement.
i'm yet another #ActuallyAutistic#trans lady on Mastodon! i'm an aspiring writer, musician, and digital swer, but not in that order. i rarely know what i'm doing and i think (hope) that's where i get my charm. i mostly just post about the #books, #crochet, #JigsawPuzzles, and hopefully some cute pics.
i'm also in my witch era right now, so i might offer some free (and likely very inaccurate) #astrology / #tarot readings when the mood strikes 💜
@pathfinder@actuallyautistic I've definitely seen people get confused by it, but I've been around the autistic internet long enough to remember how the hashtag got started 😅. thank you for checking that i knew though 😊

Can anyone help me find a novel I enjoyed years ago, set in a village on the rocky Cornish coast?
The main character had come to live there and finds himself drawn quietly into the community. He owns a small boat, moored on a river that opens into a bay which is guarded at the sea-edge by dangerous rocks where ships have been lost, and where one historical tragedy in particular is scored into local memory. Eventually, there's the need for a rescue to be attempted.
