Imagine a cold, wet winter, and all you and your children have to survive is a leaky tent. You'd want someone to help. If you can, be that someone.
Hello friends, with the first winter rains, water leaked into my children's tent. My newborn baby is only a month old. I urgently need $500 to buy a new tent. Please help me save my children from the extreme cold. 🙏👇💔

Respect Alice Wong’s call here:
“When I am in public spaces and see most people unmasked either because they think the virus is a hoax, that masking is virtue signaling & a sign of weakness, aren't thinking about it, or that they simply don’t care, I feel like an expendable burden not worth saving.”
COVID Isn’t Going Anywhere. Masking Up Could Save My Life.

Alice Wong was one of the most effective people challenging the Whiteness of disability communities and its many flaws, but who believed fiercely in us as a community, in disabled people as oracles.

Alice brought so much to so many of us, it’s hard to measure the kind of gratitude I have for that.

i’m heartbroken to learn Alice Wong passed away. her ferocity, humor, and empathy in the fight for disability justice are aspirational to us all.

i had dreams of talking about cripping museums and disability storytelling with her on her disability visibility podcast.

rest in power 🕯️

May my friend @sfdirewolf.bsky.social rest in power. I will especially miss texting with her about Star Trek.

We were lucky, all of us, to have Alice and her warmth and enthusiasm.

even just the fiscal trade off between one disposable mask versus the cost and amount of supplies and waste generated from a singular emergency room visit let alone the course of a viral induced chronic illness should make the decision to mitigate apparent and frankly logical.
If you pitched “wearing a mask in crowded places” as a startup, everyone would invest in it

Getting even a mild cold burns hundreds of dollars per day in opportunity cost, while the cost of wearing a mask is almost certainly orders of magnitude smaller…

when faculty complain about students, I want to ask them if they factor in pandemic trauma + COVID itself.
Then I recall that we are all pretending that the pandemic is over, and no one needs to worry about COVID anymore, and that I might explode if I have to talk about this once more and keep quiet
Every time Covid and learning loss hits the news, people act like the only factor is folk staying home and learning online, rather than… Living through a global mass death event.

Words matter: and Im sure the NYT knows this.
This passive framing here in this headline here and the post is intended to ensure that the powerful men responsible are ascribed as little blame and agency as possible, and instead to place blame on circumstances and the parent.
Words matter.
A teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9

wearing a mask in, at the very least, public indoor spaces (grocery stores, pharmacies, transit, healthcare) is one of the most basic forms of allyship you can offer disabled people you’re forced share space with.
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Another Reuters exclusive

The Biden administration acquired evidence in the last months of its term that senior officials in the Israeli government were openly discussing the ongoing use of Palestinians as human shields by the IDF in Gaza. They sat on the evidence.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Shereen. Shereen and her husband (a house painter) fled their home early in the war thinking it would only be for 2 days. She lost everything as well as many family members. Her main concern is getting her son, Ahmed, 4 into a kindergarten.
