Today is World AIDS Day.  (Even more information available here.) While I'm not really on board with the Digital Life Sacrifice idea (because it seems sort of...tacky?), the rest of this slideshow is really interesting. And if you're in the Boston area, Medicine Wheel Productions is holding its annual vigil today.

In unrelated news, a huge fossil has been discovered in a church (note the H.P. Lovecraft mention!) and an essay from Lapham's Quarterly has shown me Wilson’s Metropolitan Sepulcher, which would have been amazing if it had been built.
