I don't know if she's still doing it, but Sue Schweik (The Ugly Laws) is training to become a death doula. Regardless, I'm so excited for this book.

(off to return scrivener to its former glory)

My loup remains one of the best dinners I’ve had in recent memory (tied with Casavan in MTL). Need to head back to Philly to try Her Place.

Or at the very least a short.

I really want to watch all of us strangers, but I’m not sure I’m ready to Ugly Cry *that much*. The clips alone…

I assign this piece in my disability class alongside Harriet McBryde Johnson’s “The Disability Gulag” (another voice we lost too soon) and Fraser and Gordon’s “A Genealogy of Dependency.” It’s also a great segue into a discussion of worth, need, and the demands of inclusion.

Alice was so much more than her online/social media presence, though, so if you haven’t come across her broader work, I recommend check out her podcast, Disability Visibility, or her books (Year of the Tiger, Disability Visibility, and Disability Intimacy. Her voice will be very much missed.

also recommend blasting Rosalia’s Lux on repeat (Berghain, to be specific, but the entire album is excellent). It’s wonderfully cathartic

Excellent choice on your part. I did not heed the warnings
