You guys realize that taxing people to pay for services isn't socialism, right? This is just how governments work.

Yesssss this pie is so good and it's such a nice deviation from the standard pumpkin / apple / pecan offerings (which are also good, but there will probably already be at least one of those that someone else brought)

I am holding so much grief, but also so much gratitude that we lived in a world so shaped by her brilliance and creativity. Rest in power, Alice Wong. Your work changed us. Your vision will continue to lead us. Your memory is a blessing and a responsibility we must honor every day through action.
One way I have found to mourn someone is to set up a monthly sustaining donation to a mutual aid effort they cared about. If you can join me in honoring Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social with a sustaining donation today, please do. Thank you Alice, and I will not let the bastards grind me down.

May her memory be for a revolution. May it deepen our commitments. May her example sharpen our politics. May her life remind us that disability justice is a practice of transforming the world through collective care, accountability, creativity, defiance and imagination.

Alice Wong’s legacy is the political horizon she helped articulate. A horizon where disabled knowledge is central, and care is a shared commitment. She taught us to name grief & rage without collapsing under them, to celebrate disabled brilliance without ignoring the material conditions shaping life

Alice was a master of calling out power without losing sight of community. She named the violence of austerity, medical rationing, eugenics & state abandonment with unflinching clarity. But she also paired critique with genuine belief that disabled futures are possible & already emerging everywhere

Alice was not only a brilliant disability justice activist—she was a cultural force, political strategist & builder of worlds. She showed how access is built through struggle, creative collaboration, interdependence, and principled refusal. She made the invisible labor of disabled life beautiful.
