💕 rest in power, alice.
Speaking with her digital voice on KQED in Feb. 2025, Wong said she was "radically committed to a life of pleasure and joy." She talked about her enjoyment of cooking for others, including twice-weekly lunches for her elderly parents, and caring for her cats, Bert and Ernie. "Being able to use my privilege to pass on opportunities to other disabled people and support projects I believe in brings me so much joy," Wong said. "We live in such bleak times and what keeps me going is living to the maximum without apology."

I hope Alice’s memory is never sanitized. She supported free Palestine. She believed in deep pleasure for disabled people, sexual, aesthetic & otherwise. She was unflinching in calling out people’s bullshit. Don’t let the mainstream turn her into some desexualized defanged inspiration porn!!!
