I don’t have it in me now, but I need to write about how Alice Wong was the first person in 8 years (of my mostly paused by severe disability and Palliative Care career) to want to publish my prose

Few people go out of their way to uplift the most vulnerable like Alice did

I got federal charged for dancing across the street from ICE in my neighborhood on Indigenous People's Day. Here is the feds evidence photo they are using against me in court.
I really really need a good lawyer but I cant afford one.

Aslynn is spot on, as per usual.

If you are arguing that an image is just TOO IMPORTANT to post without alt text?

You save the image to your phone. Easily extract text. Repost. Write the alt text and/or paste the copied text into the alt text box. Then post.
I've heard people say that "sometimes" images are too important not to share, even though they don't have alt text

and my response is that if something is "too important", the matter of accessibility via alt text is then even MORE important

you can do it, I believe in you

Almost all of the revenue I get from things I have written (non-fiction or academic) comes from libraries. I always say 'get your library to order it' because that is literally the best way to support me and make work like mine available to a wider audience
Libraries purchase books. When you see a book at the library, it isn’t “free”

the library bought it.

which in turn means that the community bought it.

In other words, library books are not lost sales for authors and publishers; they’re positive sales. Active sales. Those are bought.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is not an ally and I don’t want to see the left/Dems trying to make her into such. She’s a Karen who’s getting her face eaten by the leopard she put into power. She’s getting exactly what she fought for. Fuck her now and forever.

This being the last post Alice made for herself makes me incredibly sad. We need more spaces for us. We need more places where voices like Alice’s are uplifted so that others can learn from the wisdom that needs to be shared.
It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

I have many (many) issues with bluesky moderation but “why does bluesky not suspend the official accounts of this extremely online administration that loves to abuse its power to prosecute people it doesn’t like” - even when they very obviously break the rules - has an equally obvious answer

Rudy Bridges is younger than the Sitting President of the United States and 29 sitting United States Senators
It’s useful for people of my generation to be reminded that this wasn’t that long ago. Ruby Bridges isn’t just still alive—she’s only 71, not ancient!
65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.

A 20 year old woman in Minnesota was murdered at work by a coworker this week. Why? He didn't like the way she looked at him. And people are judging her gender presentation in an effort to justify her murder. America hates women. And children. It hates Black, Indigenous, Latine and Asian people too

A TIMELY REMINDER :-)}

The US Postal Service has announced Operation Santa is accepting letters from children: 123 Elf Road, North Pole 88888.
Letters and presents are great; however, the greatest gift is love.
Be sure to love, nurture, and protect our children, especially those who are vulnerable.

i made these by getting the kind of terracotta saucers you use for plants and putting a small one in a bigger one and putting glass in between. felt like a genius move even though i had to smash the inner saucer to get them out lol. i have another batch that should come out without smashing in now
I have a series of new glass mini wreaths in the shop. They're gorgeous on Christmas trees but also look great as wall hangings. $50.

I'm going to be adding more new stuff over the next few days as my health allows and will give 10% of this weekend's sales to the Roadrunner Food Bank.

The rain's on and off where I am, with a slight breeze. I have the windows slightly open and I'm comfortably cool and wearing as NASA tie-dye sweatshirt. It's time for King Crimson. Islands fits the mood.

So sad to hear that Alice Wong has died. Her work has informed my understanding of disability and disability advocacy for as long as I can remember, and we just listened to her on this episode of Radiolab a few weeks ago: www.wnycstudios.org/story/voice/

I know there’s been a lot of nostalgia for the 90s but I don’t think the part people were desperate to go back to was the Clinton blowjob jokes

Yuuup.

Not saying straight folks can't make the jokes, but I'm noticing the goofs and giggles queer folks are making are tending to be actually funny or clever while most straight folks (esp men) clowning are basically just mugging about how gross it is.

Just asking folks to aim a little higher.
Hey so.

Lots of people reading your hot takes on Bubba are gay or bi. There are lots of jokes to be made--Clinton is RIGHT THERE--but if the best you've got is 101 basic bitch homophobia, got some bad news for you about you.
