this past october marked the 35th anniversary of the release of dionne warrick’s charity single “that’s what friends are for.” the one-off collaboration with the equally iconic gladys knight, elton john and stevie wonder, “that’s what friends are for” was released as a charity single in 1985 to support aids research and prevention. originally released as a very schmaltzy love song in 1982, dionne’s cover of “friends” was released just a few weeks after the aids-related death of hollywood legend rock hudson. the song now resonated as a radical message of unconditional love during a time when people living with aids faced intense homophobia and stigma.  
“that what friends are for” topped the billboard hot 100 in janaury 1986 and went on to win best pop performance by a duo or group and song of the year at the 1987 grammy awards. it was this commercial and critical success that the song was touted as the anthem for the fight against aids. and while it’s cultural impact could not be overstated, it was not the first “anthem” of acceptance, love and resistance in the era of aids. there were many songs that soundtracked the aids epidemic before and after “that’s what friends are for.
youtube
patti labelle’s 1977 single “you are my friend” and sylvester’s brilliant cover in 1979, had long served as musical forms of solace for black and brown queer and trans folks during the onset of the epidemic – years before it was even given a name. other songs released years before the epidemic also served as anthems of survival. bette midler’s “friends,” a song that garnered her rousing applause when she performed it in bathhouses in the early 1970’s and gloria gaynor’s 1979 #1 hit “i will survive” took on a deeper meaning for gay men during height of the aids epidemic.
i must also mention phyllis hyman’s “old friend,” released in the summer of 1986, while not explicitly about aids, does capture the feeling and hope of reconnecting with long family and friends. a reality experienced by those who face rejection from loved ones after an hiv positive diagnosis.
“that’s what friends are for” isn’t even the first AIDS charity single. that distinction goes to the openly gay british band coil who released a cover of “tainted love” in early 1985 as a fundraising effort for the terrence higgins trust. coil’s version of “tainted love” was much somber than the more danceable version by soft cell, who took the song #8 on the hot 100 in the summer of 1982, was accompanied by an even more heartbreaking video that was explicitly about aids.
youtube
by 1990 several artists recorded and released songs that were explicitly (or somewhat explicitly) about aids or about the immense loss one feels when a loved one dies. these songs included cyndi lauper’s “boy blue,” prince’s “sign o’ the times”, willie colon’s“el gran varon,” boogie down productions’ “jimmy,” and “is anybody out there” by british pop group frankie goes to hollywood. one of the first songs to explicitly mention the word aids was the queen of paradise garage gwen guthrie’s “can’t love you tonight.” released in 1987, a remix of the song was even titled “the surgeon general’s funky 4/4 beat”
then there were songs that were without a doubt in response to the aids hysteria. these songs include janet jackson’s “let’s wait a while” and jermaine stewart’s “we don’t have to take our clothes off.” both songs communicated a message of delaying sex and are low-key about abstinence.
not all songs that soundtracked the aids epidemic were about loss (“jesus to a child”by george michael and “one sweet day” by mariah carey) or cautionary tales (like salt n pepa’s “let’s talk about sex” and tlc’s “waterfalls”). there were songs that served as a kind of restoration on the dance floor. and many of these songs were present during the early years of the epidemic. songs like sylvester’s 1982 club hit “do you wanna funk”and 1983’s “so many men, so little time” by miguel brown were songs that celebrate sexuality during a time when queer communities were beginning to be ravaged by aids. these songs and hundreds of other dance songs provided a safer space to meet, probably one last time, with people who just wanted to dance and enjoy the beat of life.

Random Observations Of The Thanksgiving Parade
The "Today Show" has a "Today Show" all day streaming channel. The program is barely watchable in the mornings.
Do the Woketopian thespians intend to articulate one of their conniptions about the cultural misappropriation of casting a Black girl as Little Orphan Annie?
Number in the parade from a musical about the wives of Henry VIII. Doubt they actually paraded about in miniskirts and that one of them was Black. Do feminists intend to toss a fit about trivializing the complexities of the lives of these historical figures? Interesting how statues of others are toppled for less.
Isn’t there something inherently racist about making Al Roker walk the parade route every year? Are Samantha Guthrie’s feet merely painted on?
A number on the parade from the Moulin Rogue musical. Nothing says “Thanksgiving” more than a production that gives off the vibe of being set in a Parisian whorehouse or strip club.
So you gathering to eat Thanksgiving dinner with your family is still so fraught with danger of Plague that children are being encouraged to scarf down their meals in order to get their masks back on but crowds squashed together along the concrete canyons of New York City do not constitute a potential super spreader event?
The Ann Richards School Marching Band. “PPPOOOORRR GEORGE couldn’t help it.  He was born with a silver foot in his mouth. “ What’s next, the Ted Kennedy Center for Sobriety?
So you have a segment on the parade beating viewers over the head with White guilt about “colonialism” followed by a float depicting pirates. Like something out of the Simpsons in terms of comedic irony. Pilgrims condemned. Pirates celebrated.
Sinclair Oil float. If fossil fuels are so evil, isn’t this the equivalent of a Marlboro Man balloon?
So there is a troop of American Indian dancers in the parade spreading White guilt propaganda about the theft of colonialism and then later a float celebrating Mount Rushmore.
Song about a girl that will stay with someone who buys her stuff. Will there be a companion song in the parade sung by a dude how a dude will stay with a woman if she does his laundry and scrubs his floors?
Oversized heart depicted on the Ronald McDonald balloon. Apparently a life of conspicuous cholesterol consumption has caught up with the fast food clown.
At a number of moments during the parade, images were imposed upon the screen of things that were really not taking place. Makes you wonder how often this trickery is applied to so-called news coverage.
The world’s largest indoor waterpark apparently at Kalahari Resort. Wouldn’t a desert theme be more appropriate?
Apparently maskless crowds at the Sturgis motorcycle festival spread Plague but maskless crowds along NYC parade routes do not.
Hockey float. Perhaps sponsored by the dental implant association.
Let's hope the multiverse storyline in the upcoming Spider-Man movie does not ruin Marvel the way the Crisis On Infinite Earths dealing with a similar topic ruined the CW DC shows.
Does Smurf Village violate Equal Housing Opportunity Regulations being so exclusivistic in terms of marketing and demographics? After all real estate types get in trouble over terms such as “view” and “master bedroom”.
If the Macy’s parade is a reflection of the company’s stores, no wonder the retailer seems to be on its last leg.
Is each Hallmark Christmas movie really an original? They even seem to recycle the same has been 80’s child actors.
The Hallmark movie we really want to see is “Aunt Becky In The Big House”.
Lifetime network Christmas movies. Doubt those as cheery as the Hallmark ones. Wouldn’t those on that channel need to be more about a battered woman?
My Little Pony commercial encouraging youth to be themselves. Wonder if that would include those that would want to incorporate MAGA hats as part of their wardrobes.
The character Tip Toe the reindeer has sidekicks named “Polar Bear” and “Penguin”.  In terms of creativity, that’s called pure darn laziness.
NBC thanking first responders. Doesn't the news division propagate defund the police propaganda the rest of the time?

Where To Find Minneapolis City Parking Near Popular Attractions
You cannot say ‘American Midwest’ without the ‘Twin Cities’ of Minneapolis and St. Paul coming to mind. Straddling the mighty Mississippi, both of them together make for one of the most bustling hubs in the Midwest region. ‘Mill City’ or Minneapolis is today a vibrant mix of culture, cuisine, and music. Having nurtured talents like rock icon Prince, folk and country legend Bob Dylan, and hip-hop star Lizzo, there’s a lot going on for Minneapolis! 
Unfortunately, being a ‘happening’ place also comes with a catch -finding affordable Minneapolis parking spots is quite a hassle. Forget visitors; even residents have to settle with Minneapolis city parking spots several miles away from their destinations. 
But fret not! There’s an easy way out – we’ve done the heavy lifting for you and compiled a list of famous attractions and where you can find cheap Minneapolis city parking near them. 
Minneapolis Sculpture Garden 
As far as urban sculpture gardens go, there’s no beating this one. At once a recreational space and a permanent art exhibition, the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden showcases how art is at the center of civic life in the city. The most famous of these installations is Spoonbridge and Cherry, a sculpture shaped like – you guessed it – a spoon forming a bridge across a pond, with a cherry on top! If you feel your aesthetic sensibilities tingling, you can also walk right over to the Walker Art Centre nearby. 
Weisman Art Museum 
Located on the University of Minnesota campus, the Weisman Art Museum looks unlike anything you’ve seen – it doesn’t have the Victorian or art deco façade commonly ascribed to other museums. Instead, its surface is made of steel sheets bent and curved into an abstract design. Conceptualized by renowned architect Frank Gehry, you could say that the museum is itself a work of art! Dedicated to the late art collector Frederick Weisman, the museum has exhibits on American Modernism, traditional Korean furniture, and ancient Mimbres pottery from the American Southwest. 
You can park your vehicle nearby on South 4th and 5th streets and nearby Park Ave. 
Guthrie Theatre 
Theatre fanatics can have a gala time at this famed performance center. Founded by English theatre director Tyrone Guthrie, it is one of the beating hearts of the city’s flourishing theatre scene. Witness the best upcoming acting talents as they get cracking on entertaining plays, or even join an acting class if you want to learn the basics of stagecraft yourself. 
Parking can be found on South 4th and 5th streets and nearby Park Ave. 
Minnehaha Park 
It would be a shame if you were in Minneapolis and did visit the Grand Rounds Scenic Byway system, a set of connected parks built around thirteen lakes.  Minnehaha Park is one of the most scenic stops on the Grand Rounds - a walk through it will take you back to the 19th Century. It has well-maintained architectural attractions such as Minnehaha Depot (a train station built in 1875), Longfellow House, and John Harrington Stevens House (known as the ‘birthplace of Minneapolis’). Of course, the crown jewel is Minnehaha Falls, a 53-foot waterfall that is picture-perfect! 
Parking can be found at spots with parking meters and designated parking zones near Minnehaha Park. 
South 8th street, south 9th Street, and 2nd Ave South are where parking can be found to visit the garden. 
U.S. Bank Stadium 
What’s a city without a stadium to pack in the fans? Minneapolis boasts the sparkling U.S. Bank Stadium, home to the Minnesota Vikings NFL team and the pride of the city. As an enclosed, multi-facility stadium, it has hosted everything from NFL games to motocross events! When restrictions are lifted, fans can even go on guided tours backstage to visit off-limits levels like the team locker rooms, press levels, and premium suites. The stadium is also the first to receive a Bike Friendly Business certification. 
Prince’s Purple Rain House 
This is a must-see for fans of rock icon Prince, arguably Minneapolis’ most famous musical offspring. Though a small and unassuming house on the outside, it was one of the locations where the singer’s 1984 hit film Purple Rain was shot, serving as the main character’s home. The sentimental value and memories of the film are what draw fans to this plot. Die-hard fans will also be happy to know that just before he died in 2016, Prince bought the house, cementing its place in his legacy. 
Before visiting the house, you can find parking on Bloomington Ave and Park Ave. 
Mill City Museum 
Minneapolis was known as the flour milling capital of the world during the 19th Century. The city has not forgotten its humble beginnings, preserving several iconic mills as part of the Mill City Museum Complex. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the museum has exhibits showcasing the milling and baking process that was integral to Minneapolis’s prosperity during its early days. Visitors also enjoy the Flour Tower, where a guided elevator tour will take you to different floors of an old flour mill. 
Find parking on south 4th and 5th streets or nearby Park Ave before heading to Mill City Museum. 
Nicollet Mall  
If you feel like window-shopping or going on ‘retail therapy,’ Nicollet Mall will make you jump with joy. One of the first transit malls in the country, it serves as the commercial hub of downtown Minneapolis, with twelve pedestrian-friendly blocks lined with shops. Head on over to have a fine dining experience, get the latest gadgets, or even attend the famous ‘Holidazzle Parade’ in the winter! 
Loft Literary Centre 
Bibliophiles and literary nerds can make a beeline for the Loft, one of the country’s most prominent literary avenues. It has hosted several esteemed litterateurs over the years, like Beat Generation poet Allen Ginsberg, acclaimed slam poet Patricia Smith, and Booker Prize winners Margaret Atwood and Michael Ondaatje. Besides, you can even check yourself into the many writing workshops, enroll in a poetry-out-loud competition, or even banter with the many illustrious fellows and writers-in-residence if you’re in luck.

The most striking aspect of International House Sydney is that six above ground levels are constructed entirely from engineered or cross laminated timber, including floors, columns, walls, roof, lift shafts, egress stairs and bracing bays, supported by a single ground retail level of conventional concrete structure. The building explores a new form of beauty, one of unique and integral character, with outstanding green credentials. It expresses with aesthetic potency the fully exposed timber structure, stripped of additional layers of finishing materials. Around 3,500 cubic metres of sustainably grown and recycled timber were used in construction. By not using concrete, thousands of tonnes of greenhouse gases were avoided. International House Sydney is an exemplar of place making architecture that reduces negative environmental impacts in the built environment. It provides an ongoing store for carbon pointing towards the future of commercial building construction globally #tzannes #australia #barangaroo #housesydney #greenhouse #timberstructure #timberbuilding #timberconstruction #lendlaseact #timberarchitecture #wooddesign #workshop https://www.instagram.com/p/CL88ZWOlcM4/?igshid=outuk1rbar39

How a Victorian heart medicine became a gay sex drug
New Post has been published on https://nexcraft.co/how-a-victorian-heart-medicine-became-a-gay-sex-drug/
How a Victorian heart medicine became a gay sex drug
The journey from hospital to club to bedside table. (DepositPhotos/)
The first time I encountered poppers, I watched a nun do them. I was in fifth grade.
It was the final scene of Act 1 of “Nunsense,” a riotous Off-Broadway musical detailing the fundraising antics of an ill-fated but endearing group of convent sisters. One nun had found a suspicious-looking bag in a high school bathroom and presented it to Mother Superior Mary Regina. Once alone, Reverend Mother rummaged around in the bag and pulled out a small, brightly-colored glass bottle. She gave it the once-over, quizzically reading its name aloud: “Rush.”
Unscrewing the bottle, Mary Regina immediately revulsed at the harsh chemical smell contained within, but not before taking an unintentional whiff of the potent fumes. Soon the straight-edge sister experienced a sensual head rush of biblical proportions. The rest of the nuns found her writhing on the floor, higher than a church steeple, moaning and shouting, “FREE WILLY! FREE WILLY!”
As a 10 year-old audience member, I found the Reverend Mother’s silliness amusing, but it would be another decade before I fully understood what had transpired on that stage—when I came across a neon yellow bottle of Rush myself. Only, this one was about as far as you could get from a convent.
There are countless brands of similar-sized bottles just like RUSH. Others have names like “Jungle Juice,” “Quicksilver,” “Ram,” and “Blue Boy.” All give off a heavy industrial stench and bear a similar chemical footprint. And though they may be labeled for uses like “video head cleaner” or “room odorizer,” you mainly find them in sex shops. It’s safe to say nobody’s buying them for home improvement purposes.
“Poppers” is the common name for this suite of compounds called alkyl nitrites. Though they may seem like the latest solvent for rebellious teenagers to huff, they’ve been around for decades. And they represent much more than a drug fad—they’re a cultural phenomenon whose journey has helped shape queer life as we know it.
Men who were part of the gay nightlife scene in the 70s, 80s, and 90s say you could walk into a club and immediately smell poppers. The scent was a backdrop for the triumphs and trials of queer men in the latter half of the 20th century. Now, it conjures collective memories of the gay bars of yesteryear: tight pants, dark spaces, and speakers blaring Donna Summer and The Village People.
The Stonewall uprising of 1969 set a cautiously optimistic tone for the 70s, one that suggested to queer people that their rights to be with each other unapologetically were on the horizon. Following the broader sexual liberation movement of the decade, more queer men became eager to explore themselves as sexual beings. And decreased police raids on gay bars, clubs, and discos (like the one that triggered Stonewall) popularized spaces allowing that exploration.But that didn’t come without baggage. For many, using drugs in these clubs was a way to combat the still-pervasive stigma of not being straight.
David Wohlsifer, a psychotherapist and sex therapist, says drugs and sex are often inextricably linked. Drugs reduce sexual inhibitions, which are often caused by feelings of shame, trauma, or body dysmorphia. He says queer men especially deal with a lot of shame related to their identities both in and out of the bedroom. Fifty years ago, when society was even less accepting of homosexuality than it is today, that shame could feel overwhelming.
“You walk into this club hating yourself for who you are, hating yourself for what you want to do. And then there’s this magic pill that makes you, for a few minutes, feel euphoric; it makes you feel self-worth instead of shame,” Wohlsifer says. “People go for it.”
Enter poppers: They aren’t a pill, but they certainly make you feel euphoric. A few seconds after inhaling deeply from the amber glass bottle, you can feel your face warming as blood rushes to your head—and everywhere else in your body. A minute or two later, the sensation subsides, and you can do it all over again. In “The Poop on Poppers,” which appeared in a 1977 issue of the Bay Area Reporter, a queer weekly publication, Louis Parrish writes, “Fans claim that poppers serve the dual purpose of putting them more out of it and at the same time putting them more into it.”
It’s a kind of high that makes you feel open mentally, physically, and, for queer men in particular, sexually. In a 1982 study of poppers and their use, psychiatrist Thomas Lowry called them “the nearest thing to a true aphrodisiac.”
Of course, alkyl nitrites are far from a Greek myth: Their immediate physiological effects are well-documented. When inhaled, they quickly relax involuntary smooth muscle. They also act as vasodilators that widen blood vessels, lowering blood pressure and increasing blood flow throughout the body. That surge of blood means extra oxygen and causes a head rush which, along with the release in muscle tension, leads to the giddy high Mother Superior Mary Regina so elegantly depicted.
Poppers have added physical benefits for penetrative sex: The human reproductive tract is built by smooth muscle, and the anal sphincter, while voluntarily controlled, is surrounded by smooth muscle that can make penetration easier when it’s relaxed. For many men who have sex with men, poppers have obvious practical applications. It’s no surprise they’ve gained a reputation akin to sex in a bottle.
But the story of poppers started long before gay bars and glass bottles—when French chemist Antoine Balard first synthesized amyl nitrite in 1844. Even then, Balard noted that smelling the chemical’s vapor made him lightheaded, which we now know is a consequence of your blood pressure dropping. Fifteen years later, British chemist Frederick Guthrie described other physical effects: throbbing arteries, flushing of the face, and increased heart rate.
British physiologist Benjamin Ward Richardson believed no other known substance at the time produced such a profound effect on the heart, and even passed around samples of amyl nitrite at a medical conference so his audience could try it for themselves. In 1864, he was the first to theorize that the chemical caused vasodilation.
Three years later, Scottish physician Sir Thomas Lauder Brunton brought together all prior research on amyl nitrite and outlined the compound’s medical applications. At the start of his career as a physician, while making his rounds at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary on a cold December night, he noticed a patient whose bouts of angina pectoris were concerningly severe, frequent, and long-lasting. One of the most common symptoms of cardiac disease, angina pectoris is chest pain that occurs when the heart muscle is starved of blood. From bloodletting to brandy, agents typically used to ease that anguish weren’t helping. Exhausted of all options, and suspecting that an overly-tense artery caused the angina, Brunton put several drops of amyl nitrite onto a cloth and had the patient inhale it.
“My hopes were completely fulfilled,” he wrote in British medical journal The Lancet. Within a minute, the patient’s face flushed and the pain completely disappeared. Over the next several decades, physicians around the world caught wind of Brunton’s discovery but hesitated to make amyl nitrate a standard treatment, perhaps because of its signature rush. In 1881, an editor of the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal called amyl nitrite “a neglected drug,” scolding doctors for not using it to relieve clearly suffering patients.
Physicians eventually caught on, and amyl nitrite became one of several vasodilators used to treat angina pectoris. By the early 20th century patients were receiving tin boxes containing glass ampules of the chemical wrapped in cloth, like pieces of saltwater taffy. During angina spells, they’d crush the capsules, allowing the amyl nitrite to soak through the cloth to be inhaled. The sound of the breaking glass gave this drug the name “poppers.”
Doctors used poppers as a standard treatment for angina for decades before replacing them with modern vasodilators like nitroglycerin, but how they transitioned to the clubs of The Castro and Greenwich Village is still somewhat of a mystery. In Pursuit of Oblivion: A Global History of Narcotics, Richard Davenport-Hines assumes patients prescribed amyl nitrite must have noticed some pleasant effects happening outside their chests.
“It was surely as early as the 1870s that amyl nitrite users discovered that the rush of blood caused by inhaling increased the sexual excitement of men,” Davenport-Hines writes.
Toby Lea, a social scientist at the German Institute for Addiction and Prevention Research who studies the intersection of substance use and queer communties, says it’s plausible that people presecribed poppers quickly caught on to their other uses.
“With any drug that starts as a prescription medication, if it does have any kind of psychoactive effects, people discover it pretty quickly,” Lea says. “And a lot of drugs have their genesis in the gay scene before bleeding out to other cultures.”
In 1960, after nearly a hundred years of documented medical use of amyl nitrite with no associated fatalities, the FDA approved poppers as an over-the-counter drug. But shortly after reports of high recreational use, they reinstated the prescription requirement. By the time of Stonewall at the end of the decade, the first commercial brand of poppers, “Locker Room,” was on sale in Los Angeles. It was a different form of alkyl nitrite (with similar effects) called isobutyl nitrite, a way to get around the prescription requirement. Soon, practically everyone in the club scene had gotten a whiff.
Denton Callander is deputy director of New York University’s Spatial Epidemiology Lab, and much of his research focuses on sex and queer communities. He thinks the disco scene was a key element in the journey of poppers from the medicine cabinet to the nightstand.
“Disco is many people, not just gay men,” he says. A staple of mid-20th century counterculture, disco was originally where marginalized folks went for a pleasurable rebellion—they were kaleidoscopes of identity and experience. Dance floors were a nightly hotbed of interactions between people from all walks of life. Introducing poppers to this volatile, promiscuous mix created nothing short of an explosion.
While queer men weren’t the only people using poppers during the disco era, Callander says they in particular took to the amber bottles because of their practical applications for gay sex. They soon became popular in gay bathhouses, where queer men would gather to relax and engage in sexual activity.
“Even if you don’t use them or you think they’re stupid, they are in some ways part of our history, of what it means to be gay men,” Callander says.
There were deeper motivations, too, says Jason Orne, a sociologist at Drexel University. He brings up the concept of minority stress, wherein stigmatized groups experience psychological pain through harassment, discrimination, and related experiences that puts them at high risk for physical and mental health issues. “That creates situations where we drink more, we do drugs more, we have sex more,” he says. “We sort of are in these spaces that allow us to seize some forms of pleasure and take some power from that.”
Orne brings up cultural anthropologist and sex theorist Gayle Rubin’s idea of “the charmed circle,” or what society considers “good” or “moral” sex: heterosexuality, monogamy, sober sex, etc. Queer sex is placed outside that circle, along with all the other types of sex society deems “bad.” “If you’re already on the outside in one way—you’re queer—then you start to also question the rest of those issues of morality,” Orne says. “We have other forms of morality that emphasize being different.”
There’s also social bonding that results from communal spaces like dance floors. Orne calls this phenomenon “naked intimacy,” when people in sexually-charged spaces like discos feel more connected to each other, especially when having drug-fueled out-of-body experiences.

“Poppers, in a way, mimics physiologically this social experience that people have. So I think they pair together really well,” he says. These bottles helped disco-goers achieve a type of “collective effervescence,” a sociological term for when a group of people come out of themselves together. It happens during religious experiences, concerts, sporting events, and, yes, at gay bars—and Orne says it helps create bonds between complete strangers.
“People routinely talk about telling very intimate details of their lives and having very deep conversations with people they barely know, because they did drugs together or had sex in the same space,” Orne says.
Flip through archives of LGBTQ weeklies from the 70s and 80s, and you can tell that poppers were part of queer hookup culture long before the digital age. Personal ads contained code words for sexual preferences: One of those words was “aroma,” which referred to poppers. Nearby, in the classifieds, entries advertised mail order poppers. Some publications ran full-page ads from poppers manufacturers themselves: Tom of Finland-esque drawings of buff, shirtless men riding motorcycles or swinging at each other in boxing rings told readers that all they had to do was sniff a bottle of Rush or Bolt to become Adonis.
The tide started to turn on poppers in the early 80s, when the AIDS crisis began to take hold of queer communities across the globe. Starting as early as the late 70s, rare and mysterious infections afflicted large numbers of people—mostly queer men—in cities across America. Doctors scrambled to figure out what was causing these young, previously healthy patients’ immune systems to collapse. In 1982, the CDC called the disease “acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)” for the first time, but how it spread or where it came from remained a mystery. It would take another year for scientists to identify HIV as the cause, and more than a decade to trace the virus back to its animal origins.
But during the days when AIDS was still a terrifying and fast-killing mystery without any real treatment, one potentail link stuck out: Nearly all queer men dying from the disease had used poppers at some point.
In 1985, a study linked poppers to Kaposi’s sarcoma, one of the most common infections in AIDS patients. However, the study didn’t look at the physiological pathways that would may have connected them—its results were based on correlations found within a survey of patients. About a year later, most AIDS researchers had discounted this theory.
Still, a poppers hysteria rippled throughout the U.S., and some prominent AIDS activists fervently supported a ban on alkyl nitrites. Hank Wilson and John Lauritsen co-authored “Death Rush,” a book detailing what they believed to be unequivocal evidence of the link between poppers and AIDS, and supposedly damning information about their manufacturers. In 1978, the poppers industry was worth an estimated $50 million, a figure that Wilson and Lauritsen teased may have “doubled or tripled” by the time they published in 1986. Citing “misinformation” campaigns and studies about the drugs’ safety, the authors built the case that Big Popper, as it were, was powerful and corrupt enough to fuel a deadly epidemic.
But more than 30 years after doctors first identified AIDS, there remains no convincing evidence of its link to poppers. Callander says poppers could actually reduce the risk of HIV transmission in some people: Relaxing the sphincter muscle can prevent skin from tearing during sex, lessening the likelihood of the infection spread through contact with blood (which is why HIV is so much more common in men who have sex with men in the first place).
Still, Wohlsifer points out that while the chemical signature of alkyl nitrites doesn’t lend itself to HIV transmission, poppers do decrease inhibitions during sex. “When you’ve decreased inhibitions, you’re more likely to be unsafe,” he says.
Poppers may cause a brief period of euphoric wooziness, but they affect the body differently than other volatile chemical inhalants (i.e. sniffing glue or paint). The former interact with smooth muscle, while the latter directly target the brain and nervous system. Vincent Cornelisse, a sexual health specialist at Kirketon Road Centre in Sydney, Australia, says inhalants affecting neurons are associated with brain and peripheral nerve damage, but alkyl nitrites aren’t.
Poppers may not kill your brain cells, but Cornelisse acknowledges they’re not quite the elixir of life. Rapidly altering your blood pressure can cause some uncomfortable, if mild, side effects: headache, dizziness, nausea, and a racing heart.
“They tend to be problematic mainly if you use a large amount of poppers, and they tend to not last long if you stop using poppers,” Cornelisse says. But he advises those with pre-existing medical conditions like heart disease to take care. Alkyl nitrites also have a potentially fatal interaction with erectile dysfunction medications like Viagra: Because both drugs cause vasodilation, using them together can lead to a catastrophic drop in blood pressure.
There have also been rare cases of more serious conditions associated with poppers use. Using an excessive amount at once (usually by drinking them, which is a terrible idea) can cause potentially fatal methemoglobinemia, which is when the blood’s hemoglobin fails to properly carry oxygen. Then there’s “poppers maculopathy,” referring to eye damage caused by the use of a specific type of alkyl nitrite—isopropyl nitrite—which became popular in Europe after the European Union banned the more common form of the drug.
The vaguely yellow liquid can also cause irritation and burning upon contact with skin. Regular users may exhibit what some call “poppers nose,” when scaly, irritated skin forms around the nostrils after too many close calls with the bottle’s surface. Alkyl nitrites are also highly flammable: A massive 1981 fire in San Francisco may have started at a warehouse full of poppers.
For the most part, though, the scariest claims about poppers aren’t supported by data. They’re not addictive (though users can build up a tolerance), they don’t cause AIDS, and their effects don’t last more than a minute or so. They’re not totally harmless—most things you inhale aren’t, after all—but Orne calls them a “low-commitment drug.”
That hasn’t stopped people from preaching about the dangers of poppers. “I think the reason why people think it is [killing their brain cells] is because it has that sort of chemical smell, so people equate that with something that’s not natural and dangerous,” Lea says.
It also hasn’t stopped countries from regulating them. Canada outlawed their sale in 2013, and a Volkswagen executive in Japan was arrested in 2017 with an illegal bottle of “Rush.”
In the United Kingdom, the Psychoactive Substances Act of 2016 included poppers on a list of drugs to be banned. Several months before its enactment, a proposed amendment to exempt poppers from the legislation failed, prompting conservative member of parliament Crispin Blunt to out himself as a poppers user in a speech. The government eventually stated that the ban would in fact not include poppers, citing that, unlike other psychoactive chemicals, they don’t directly affect the nervous system.
Australia’s regulatory drug agency, the Therapeutic Goods Administration, proposed rescheduling alkyl nitrites to the same category as heroin and cocaine last summer. The change was met with severe backlash from LGBTQ health professionals like Cornelisse, prompting the government to hold a community dialogue to better inform the legislation. The TGA is expected to reintroduce the revised version of the legislation this summer.
In the U.S., poppers occupy a gray legal space. State governments began banning them during the AIDS crisis, worried about their proposed link to the disease. The Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986, a legislative staple of the War on Drugs, included language to classify alkyl nitrites as a drug unless they were produced and marketed for some purpose other than human consumption. That’s why they now have labels that say “room odorizer” or “leather cleaner.”
Through it all, Orne says governments have never been driven merely by health concerns. “Because they’re associated for a lot of people so closely with sex and gay sex in particular, I think they do have a more illicit reputation,” he says.
While poppers have been inextricably linked to queer men since they first burst onto the disco scene, they haven’t been exclusively so. When actress Lucille Ball died in 1989, an autopsy found traces of amyl nitrite in her system—though the fact that she suffered from cardiovascular disease later in life meant she was likely using them for their intended medical purpose.
In a 2012 memoir detailing her alleged racy affair with John F. Kennedy, former White House intern Mimi Alford described a scene at an L.A. party in which the young president broke a capsule of poppers and forced her to inhale. Ted Kennedy was also smitten with the aphrodisiac, according to former aide Richard E. Burke’s accounts of his former boss’s antics in “The Senator: My Ten Years With Ted Kennedy.” Burke recalled the senator’s motorcade driving past a head shop in L.A. during his 1980 presidential campaign, when Kennedy asked him if they could stop and buy some poppers. When Burke explained how bad that would look in the press, Kennedy pounded his fists against his thighs like a petulant child, singing, “I want poppers! I want poppers!”
The Kennedys weren’t the only straight people who enjoyed a good sniff of alkyl nitrite. A 1977 front page of the Wall Street Journal contained an extensive story about poppers and their use, and quoted an L.A. businesswoman with a penchant for the substance.
“I could really use a popper now,” she said.
Today, young straight folks are catching onto the alkyl nitrite craze. It may be because people, regardless of sexual orientation, are having more anal sex than ever before, or perhaps because relaxing smooth muscles can make vaginal and oral sex easier, too. Or it could be because they provide a fun, low-commitment high at clubs and parties, which may have increased appeal in an age of widespread awareness of other drugs’ dangers.
Alkyl nitrites weren’t borne out of a miraculous moment of queer alchemy, but it was queer people who made poppers into what they are today. “Straight people doing the same thing just doesn’t have that same cultural connection,” Orne says. In turn, the chemical compound helped us explore our sexualities and form communities, working toward a future where we’d be less afraid to seek pleasure. Queer liberation has always centered around the radical decision to exist outside restrictive norms that deny us that. Bricks, marches, and Supreme Court decisions have been invaluable in the fight, but you can’t ignore the power of a little glass bottle.

Record Mirror 1987
THE HYGIENIE WITH THE LIGHT BROWN HAIR
Lawrence is squeaky clean. He also likes to moan, hates indie music, wants to be a complete recluse but can't understand why his band Felt haven't yet had massive pop success. Lysette Cohen tries not to tread on his carpet
In a second floor flat in Moseley, Birmingham, everything is neatly in its place, with not a speck of dust to be seen. The kitchen is clinically clean, the bathroom spotless and the living room comes straight from a showroom window. The smell is that of soap and disinfectant. I am asked not to put my cup on the coffee table for fear of making a mark. This is the abode of Lawrence, main man of Felt, the band whose songs are as clean as ... well, the flat.
"I don't want to moan today. I'm sick of moaning. Yesterday I just moaned all day from morning to night." The man behind such titles as 'Penelope Tree', 'Sunlight Bathed The Golden Glow' and 'Raim Of Crystal Spires' is speaking. But what could someone who's been called 'the most sensitive and hygenic man in pop' possibly have to moan about?
"Everything. I wasn't happy unless I was moaning all day. There were lots of things to moan at. By the end of the day I was guile satisfied. I'm happy now."
Lawrence has been described as one of the great British eccentrics. He looks like someone from the Sixties with his neatly combed Monkees haircut. He's rumoured to be obsessed with losing the hair that makes it up. He's only 25 years old, yet he acts like a man with the worldly experience of a 40-year-old.
Felt have just released a single, 'The Final Resting Place Of The Ark', together with their seventh LP 'Poem Of The River' (titles which will do nothing to dissuade Lawrence's detractors that he's just a not-so-old hippy). They are the side of pop largely ignored by the public but highly touted by people 'in the business', their music being at its least thought provoking, and at its best, stimulating and rather beautiful.
"Our music doesn't fit in, but that's the best pop music, the sort that sticks out like a sore thumb. We're more accessible than most bands."
Surely not, Lawrence.
"We are. I think we are commercial. We're a real pop package, there's nothing hard about us to sell. For me, it's not enough just to be a good singer and songwriter. The band's appearance is very important. It's all part and parcel of pop. I would like to totally package myself. We thought we were going to be idols when we started, we really did. I was in Smash Hits last year but I chose the most awful photo. So I blew that end of the market."
It seems that Felt's real problem is a lack of money to make the records they want to moke, plus a subsequent lack of faith in the end product. Lawrence calls the latest album "a total disaster", saying that they can no longer work with independent producers. So the next album is going to be self produced and recorded in a folk studio "to get a really pure sound".
"One thing I just can't understand is our lock of success," he continues. "I used to think it was due to the label we were on. Cherry Red," (who are releasing a Felt compilation LP soon called 'Gold Mine Trash') "was so uncool, there was this stigma attached to the label. But then I was proved wrong. 'Ballad Of The Band' on our current label Creation didn't sell as many as the Cherry Red records. I don't know what to put it down to."
The biggest surprise about Felt just now is the single 'The Final Resting Place Of The Ark'. Produced by Robin Guthrie of the Cocteau Twins, 'Ark' marks a change of style from their usual material. It was, apparently, totally unplanned, with Lawrence singing live with his guitar and Robin bringing in someone to play soprano sax, a far cry from the usual mellowness of Felt music.
"I was open minded for once in my life," smiles Lawrence. "I went along with it because it wasn't meant for release. Now I'm really pleased with it, it was all so relaxed and spontoneous." The future releases, however, won't be quite in the same vein. A seven inch mini-album of horror film music is planned, and a new album will be released in February next year.
When it comes down to the nitty gritty then Lawrence, what exactly do you want?
"I want to make a record that sounds normal. What I mean by that is that the production, mix and everything all sound right. For that you need a decent budget. Practically every record on a major label sounds normal. Practically every record on on independent lobel sounds sub-normal. I hate indie music, it's all wrong."
Lawrence blames this on the punk wave of '77 which opened the floodgates for loads of 'kids' to have the chance to make records.
"Some 99 per cent of them shouldn't have been allowed, myself included," says Lawrence.
You mean you've had to grow up in public?
"Exactly. It's terrible. The band wasn't ready for it. But when you're young and impressionable you crave fame. We just didn't get quite as much as we expected."
Lawrence's approach to life is somewhat odd for a person claiming to be a sellable pop product. He has turned into something of a recluse, loathing even the smallest trips to do the shopping. There was a time when every three or four months he would push himself to go out. Now he doesn't even do that.
"I don't think I'm a natural recluse, I think it's just living in Birmingham. I might move to London soon, so maybe things will change."
What would be your ideal way of life then?
"I can see myself as a millionaire, being totally secure. I want to live in total seclusion but be able to go our and mingle when I like. Call my own shots. Yeah, that would be ideal."

The Boundary releases visuals of "pi-in-the-sky" luxury hotel in the Sonoran Desert
British visualisation studio The Boundary has created a series of renderings depicting a "super luxury" hotel planned for a secret site in Arizona's Sonoran desert.
Henry Goss Architects designed the hotel concept for a private client, who has been working with The Boundary – the rendering studio ran by Henry Goss and visualiser Peter Guthrie – for several years.
The building comprises two longitudinal blocks that overlap to create a partial upper storey. Fins of concrete set between the floor and roof slabs promise to offer uninterrupted views out into the landscape – a key point in the brief.
A sparse material palette of exposed concrete, wood and glass is planned to create a sense of "pared-back luxury" for the retreat, which could cost in the region of $15 million (£10.5 million).
It would cater for four couples as well as "extensive" staff, who would be housed on a separate site.
"It is all quite pi-in-the-sky in some ways, as many of these projects are for the American super-rich, but it's been a really cool project to work on," Goss told Dezeen.
"It is also a very interesting example of how our rendering work is beginning to attract architectural commissions rather than the other way round."
While The Boundary has created numerous sets of renderings for the client for larger commercial projects in the US, this is the first architectural commission for Goss.
He and Guthrie have become well-known in the industry for their incredibly detailed hyper-realistic renderings. Their success had led Goss away from architecture as commissions grow, but he said his visualisation work is now leading him back to design.
The client originally got in touch with the pair after the publication of the studio's renderings for 152 Elizabeth Street by Tadao Ando in New York, and Carey House in Hertfordshire, which they spotted on Dezeen.
"In a recent turn of events we have now found ourselves in the paradoxical position whereby rather than published architectural designs attracting rendering commissions, we now have renders (particularly within the New York real estate market) eliciting architectural enquiries," said the duo.
"The kind of people who spend $50 million on a new New York penthouse are not in the business of owning only one property," they added.
"For some of these individuals, private land acquired across the world provides numerous opportunities for some often outrageous ideas and design propositions."
The new images show flooring continue seamlessly through the facade of the hotel, to create patios that extend towards a landscape of rockeries and an undefined perimeter with the desert beyond.
A pool is also shown extending out through one section of glazing at right angles to the building before tapering away into the landscaping.
"Ambiguity between inside and out is a key driving factor behind the design," explained the pair. "The ground plane is literally carved out of the rock and in contrast to the rigour of the building's geometry allows the natural topography to dictate the more organic stepped terraces bleeding into nature."
Climatic considerations were also a deciding factor in the choice of cast-in-situ concrete for the structure, with set-back glazing to ensure shade from the harsh sunlight.
A fire integrated into a wall by the pool offers extra warmth after nightfall for both an internal lounge and a seating area sunken into an outdoor patio.
The rendering are dressed with a suite of furniture the studio also for the project – including wooden and stainless-steel chairs – and which it will continue to develop independently from this scheme.
Goss and Guthrie's plans were to use the renderings to express the "essence of the scheme" rather than the specific details of the design or location.
"The principle aim was to create a convincing 3D world which could be inhabited and 'virtually' photographed," Goss told Dezeen.
"This then gave us the freedom of generating any kind of atmosphere that we or the client wished to test without being constrained by site photography," he added.
"This was important in the design development but will also be crucial in the potential marketing and investment stages of the project."
Goss and Guthrie used a combination of programs and techniques to generate the imagery – which also produced animation and virtual reality options – ranging from 3DS Max and Sketup to Marvellous Designer, World Machine, Corona Renderer and Photoshop.
To evoke the arid, hazy setting they also used Guthrie's HDRI Skies – a set of 360-degree photographs taken in the Moroccan desert at a similar latitude to the Sonoran Desert.
The post The Boundary releases visuals of "pi-in-the-sky" luxury hotel in the Sonoran Desert appeared first on Dezeen.
