Today, we mourn the loss of Alice Wong, a trailblazer in every sense of the word. As the daughter of Hong Kong immigrants, a disability activist, and a fierce voice against colonialism, imperialism, and genocide, Alice gave voice to the interconnectedness of our collective liberation.

希望你一路走好。🤍🕯️

‘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.’

Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year.

Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In under 1600 words.

Democrats are considering a Republican deal to reopen government with a promise of a later vote on extending health-care tax credits—but no guarantee.

One Democrat says it'd amount to "unconditional surrender that abandons the 24 million Americans whose health care premiums are about to double."

DO NOT LET THEM HEAR THE END OF IT

CALL YOUR SENATORS AND TELL THEM NOT TO CAVE
Okay, Ezra is confirming that he's hearing D senators are actually plotting to cave to Trump and end the shutdown WITHOUT any extension of the ACA, just a promise of a vote later down the line.

Call your senators, friends, NOW, and tell them NO DEAL without ACA funding!

I tried Slay the Princess on a whim and was absolutely blown away by the storytelling and gameplay! It’s unlike anything I’ve ever played and I absolutely love the amount of storylines and scenarios you can get yourself into

Okay now that Frankenstein is out on Netflix (GO WATCH ITS MAGNIFICENT)

I can’t stop thinking about Victor’s hurting the monster for not immediately having intelligence, mirroring his own father’s impatience and abuse. And later on it shows all it took for the monster to grow was love, investment
