Alice Wong @sfdirewolf.bsky.social has passed. 😢

Carry her fire in your heart. The best way to honor her is to stand up for the things she would have stood for and to mention her when doing so.

The incredible, indomitable, inspirational Alice Wong has left us.

I'm so grateful to have known her on social media, and so grateful for all the words she shared with us and all the actions she encouraged us into making.

May we live up to her example.

(so you don't have to go to Instagram)

You were incredible, Alice Wong, and it was a blessing to have collaborated with you on projects, to have read your words and to have heard your voice, as full of life and passion and joy and rage as it was.

You made a difference—so much of a difference.

Rest always in peace, and always in power.

Alice Wong was such an excellent writer and seemed like such a funny and interesting person, and reading her words taught me a lot about her world, our world, the world. What a titan of spirit! What a bright spark of a person! Sending her so much grateful respect on her worldly passing.

I am saddened to learn that Alice Wong is no longer with us. She is one of the faces gracing my office door with her words:

“And yet while representation is exciting and important, it is not enough. I want and expect more. We all should expect more. We all deserve more.”

Her legacy will live on.

I’m gutted by this decision. So many excellent editors and writers impacted. My column, Disability Visibility is no more as well. Many thanks to Allegra for giving me this amazing opportunity www.teenvogue.com/contributor/...

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

Glad I got to become disabled in a world that already had Alice Wong @sfdirewolf.bsky.social in it. I learned so much from her incredible writing & activism. May her memory be a blessing, & may we all continue her work.
