This picture is from an article called “The Rescuing Hug”. The article details the first week of life of a set of twins. Each were in their respective incubators and one was not expected to live. A hospital nurse fought against the hospital rules and placed the babies in one incubator. When they were placed together, the healthier of the two, threw an arm over her sister in an endearing embrace. The smaller baby’s heart stabilized and temperature rose to normal.

life is so beautiful.

“Busyness serves as a kind of existential reassurance, a hedge against emptiness; obviously your life cannot possibly be silly or trivial or meaningless if you are so busy, completely booked, in demand every hour of the day.”

“People who have been healthy their whole lives will tell you they’re glad they missed [the moment you got your diagnosis] — glad they’ve never been truly sick. But they don’t know, do they? They live their whole lives in a Disney movie, facing some form of external adversity that they know, deep down, they’ll ultimately triumph against. You? You’re not just a trial; you’re a puzzle. They’re Aladdin. They’re The Little Mermaid. You’re Memento. You’re motherfucking Inception.”

- Robert Brockway (via livingwithendo)

“The moment when your meds finally kick in is like jumping out of that Pinto and right into the warm, faux-leather seat of a lovingly maintained 1994 Ford Taurus. What? Did you think you were going to be a Ferrari or something? No, man: You’re still a piece of shit, but the important thing is you’re not going to explode.”

“Early on, I asked David if he minded me taking pictures, and he said, ‘That’s fine, as long as it’s not for personal profit.’ To this day I don’t take any money for the picture. But David was an activist, and he wanted to get the word out there about how devastating AIDS was to families and communities. Honestly, I think he was a lot more in tune with how important these photos might become.”

- Therese Frare on her (now famous) photo of a young AIDS sufferer surrounded by anguished family members as he took his last breaths.

Science :)): Injecting Oxygen Directly into the Bloodstream Could Save Suffocating Patients:

sciencenote:

When a person stops breathing—be it from an obstruction in the airway or something like acute lung failure—the clock is decidedly ticking. Deprived of oxygen for long enough, a person can go into cardiac arrest. Brain damage sets in. Without oxygen, things go south pretty quickly. So a team of…

life:

Peta and Bill Kirby share a quiet moment together in Peta’s room, Ohio, 1992.

“Peta was an incredible person, he was dealing with all sorts of dualities in his life — he was half-Native American and half-White, a caregiver and a client at Pater Noster, a person who rode the line between genders, all of that — but he was also very, very strong.”

As Peta’s health deteriorated in early 1992 — as his HIV-positive status transitioned to AIDS — the Kirbys began to care for him, in much the same way that Peta had cared for their son in the final months of his life. Peta had comforted David; spoken to him; held him; tried to relieve his pain and loneliness through simple human contact — and the Kirbys resolved to do the same for Peta, to be there for him as his strength and his vitality faded.

On June 27, 1969, LIFE published a story under the headline, “The Faces of the American Dead in Vietnam: One Week’s Toll.”

Inside, across 10 funereal pages, LIFE published picture after picture and name after name of 242 young men killed in Vietnam.

Here, a look inside the issue.
