Amazing excerpts in the #NewYorkerMagazine from writer #thomasmallon s mid-to-late '80s diaries as a young man living with fear and loss during the #aids epidemic in #nyc. The #libraryofcongress acquired nearly 150 of his diaries. It didn't initially register that the LoC accepted personal diaries but makes sense; Mallon's would be fascinating to read.

Two things that I like in 🇺🇸: #NPR and #NewYorkerMagazine I gave up TV in 2004. If I were a dictator, I’d ban TV, games and Facebook and require kids and adults to read books & newspapers instead. 😉
