I know I need to do a “Hi, I’m Jen” intro post (and a more thorough one with links to stuff is coming), but…
Hi! I’m Jen! I make TV, video games, TTRPGs and actual plays, Shakespearean nerdiness, and also work in disability spaces, which means my work overlaps in MANY spaces.

This is a great obit, and I appreciated Alice’s fight for Palestinians in Gaza being highlighted. I also want to give a shout out to Miles for asking permission to cite my post when technically you don’t have to do that re media law but still an ethical thing to do.

Alice's words and voice are everywhere. In her books, essays, articles, interviews, and media appearance. You don't have to go far to find them, and they will transport you to worlds beyond your imagining.

I will spend the rest of my life thinking and writing and talking about Alice, but my voice isn't what's needed right now. Her own words are, so here are some of them.

That’s Chekhov. In Ibsen you die while trying to impress a young woman. Or die by suicide. Or from syphilis. Or live, but are abandoned by the people you love most.

One of the great heartbreaks of being in the disability community is how often we lose people and how many of our most powerful voices have gone silent. We must live our lives loudly and joyously in their honor and remember that our very existence is resistance.
Oh no I just heard we lost Alice. This is terribly sad. She was an incredible, talented, powerful voice of the disability community. She stood strong for herself and for all of us. She will be missed immensely.
‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’

Losing Alice feels like the ground shifting beneath us—I'm devastated—but to have known & shared even part of this life with her was an honor. She was one of the most fearless, generous & visionary disability activists. It’s impossible to measure how much she shifted the world—I feel it everywhere.
