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.

Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collectivity, survival. She named the connective tissue that holds our communities together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast and too often.

Playing with the concept of "how thin can I make the clay before the clay protests?" And for the purpose of Christmas ornaments it looks like "stained glass thin" is, luckily, the answer.

The only reason we know anything about the Epstein files is because the survivors refused to give up.
This release is about the the bravery & tenacity of the survivors who continue to fight for justice in a system seeking to crush, silence, and erase them.

The New York Times had this information about Epstein and Trump a year before the 2016 election, and said "but her emails is a more interesting topic."
It was misogyny—the publication actively helped derail Hillary Clinton's campaign—but it really does look like catch and kill, too.

To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015
What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?
