I am very sad to learn of Alice Wong’s @sfdirewolf.bsky.social passing.
I will miss her razor wit, her wisdom, her love for good food, and her red lipstick.

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.
A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.
