As a parent, unless your child is with a rouge teacher, chances are they’re reading even less than the bare minimum from your high school English class.

This is the Catholic Church in Gaza City ⛪️ You can still see the burn scars from the bomb that hit in July. Father Gabriel’s parish takes care of thousands of Gazan families around here, so we have been delivering fresh vegetables, milk, and tarps to fix tents.

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.
