For issues like HIV/AIDS
silence == complicity && silence == death
It is with total sadness I hear the news that the founder of the Gay Men’s Health Crisis, and ACT-UP, writer and playwright Larry Kramer has died at the age of 84, we are surely poorer without him. Every gay person in America owes him our very lives.
Hope you’re excited for the Fall Series, NWSL fans. There was an outpouring of love—and GIFs—for BTS’s Jungkook’s birthday. Critical Role delights and surprises us all, and continues to throw in a healthy dash of emotions into the mix. Meanwhile, wtFOCK is finally back with Season 4. This is Tumblr’s Week in Review.

The number in italics indicates how many spots a title moved up or down from the previous week. Bolded titles weren’t on the list last week.
This year’s National Book Awards ceremony was an evening with a message: We can do better.
The online-only event included a montage of Black winners past — narrated by LeVar Burton — with an admission: From 1936 to 1999, only 13 writers of color won a National Book Award. But this year’s event went some ways towards improving that situation; almost every honor went to a writer of color.
Check out our coverage of the evening – and links to coverage of some of the winning authors – here. And congratulations to winners Kacen Callender, Yu Miri and translator Morgan Giles, Don Mee Choi, Tamara Payne and Charles Yu!
