Triad Health Project celebrates 40 years. Their work and education have been crucial.

I got my first anonymous AIDS test there. Scary because a positive test could indicate as little as weeks left to live. It happened to many of my friends.

When I went back for the results, I was asked what I would do if they were positive. I said I would deal with it somehow.

I got good news.

January 11, 2026. Dozens of Tennessee Highway Patrol troopers begin swarming Summer Avenue at Graham Street in Memphis, Tennessee, during an ICE OUT FOR GOOD protest.

One trooper ran into an event safety marshal with his vehicle (the marshal is okay). One person was arrested for banging on a trooper's vehicle.

Color names in #thp prompt specs are no longer prefixed with fg_/bg_ - if you update/recompile and the terminal looks a little bland, that's why.
