A nice obituary for Alice, who was going to be recognized as one of The Post 50.
I hate that we now have to live without this phenomenal woman.

Alice is the gold standard of what Twitter was when it was great - how you could just find these brilliant, remarkable people with the kind of voices that rarely get platformed or taken seriously, and hear about their lives in their own words without intruding on them or demanding emotional labor
Watching disabled people around the world mourn Alice is a reminder of the good aspect of the internet. 30 years ago, few people outside of SF would ever have known Alice existed. I never would have met her. The internet connected us all. Let’s honor Alice’s memory by using that power and community.
My social media is wall-to-wall love for the incomparable Alice Wong, and I need more words. What captures sadness and/also affection for a community that knows what's been lost?

Knew this would be a short run, but still pleased I hit more than a mile, and at a very consistent pace! Running app tried to tell me I wouldn't need a hat for this one, but I'm glad I threw one in my pocket anyway cause it's chilly out! #RunningLife

Back to #WFH day runs while I'm in between shows (well, we've got one more weekend in this one), and it went as okay as I expected 😆 Only hit a little more than a mile after a week off, post-nasal drip coughing, and my watch shutting down, but I'm still glad to have gotten out! #RunningLife

Really proud of the #FaceMelters for going 7-3-0 this season, and winning our quarter finals today 27-12!! Hoping for a solid run of games next week, and also just so grateful for this team and the energy everybody brings each week ❤️ #SoftballSeason

Realized somewhere around 1.2 miles in that my watch was dead, so turned on MapMyRun to capture the rest of the run, ending up with somewhere around 2.2 miles!! Very proud, especially given the post-nasal drip is already a problem while running, but it didn't stop me today! #RunningLife

I knew from the start I was feeling good enough to hit at least my 1.5 mile goal, but around 1.6 hit my stride and each tenth of a mile was like "I guess I'll go another tenth!" Decided to stop at 2 right by the water fountain lol, but so thrilled, especially after skipping last week! #RunningLife

Played 3rd for the #FaceMelters today since we had an abundance of outfielders in having almost half subs, and managed to go 3/4, get an out at 3rd (miracle given I was otherwise fighting my outfield instincts to backup rather than cover the base xD), and ultimately we won 15-13! #SoftballSeason

Good morning.
The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you.
Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.

Very excited for another #FaceMelters win 16-12 to bring us to 4-2, against our favorite team that always keeps it close (we lost to them the last two times we've played them), despite the initial chaos of parades making many of our teammates late and some other shenanigans o.o #SoftballSeason

Listen, on the one hand, we're not going to Reading List our way out of this mess, but on the other hand, it is vital that we keep circulating the stories from the communities under attack and the easiest way to do that is read & talk about their books. So let's talk about some trans books!...

Damn, I thought this was going to be a short run with the higher temps and general lethargy I was feeling, but I really wanted to get out for this run since I decided not to go out in the rain the last two days- and while utterly exhausting, it turned out really good! #RunningLife
