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?

thrilled to report that if Pope Leo is ever canonized as a saint, his jerseys will indeed become second-degree relics, and I unironically hope I live to see this
Omg wait @clairewillett.bsky.social are all of the Pope’s jerseys relics now????
He's the sports jersey pope now. 1000 years from now historians will be going through the Vatican archives trying to figure out who the Charlotte Hornets were.

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.

Just started @eedapod.bsky.social and I'm already obsessed as a fellow self-help reader who can never find books that apply to me, I feel so seen! Truly, I can't possibly recommend it more 😁 Patricia and Nicole are so funny and insightful 10/10

I'm sitting at my desk about to start my therapy session.

@notthatcaltrans.bsky.social kisses me on the head and say, "Good luck! I hope you win!"

Me: "I'm getting close to winning! I can feel it in my bones!"

What happened, @nytimes.com? Why not stand by your original headline? Because it’s absolutely an accurate representation of this trash conversation.

To publish this at all should be a fireable offense - but to publish it as women’s rights are being decimated is deeply immoral, bordering on evil

It's almost like trans people told you all along!!!
For @msnbc.com I wrote about how Tuesday's election gives Democrats the blueprint for overcoming Republican anti-trans attacks and how thus should settle all the talk about throwing trans people under the bus.

www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
Opinion | Democrats’ election wins showed they don't need to hide their support for trans rights
Republicans repeated Trump's anti-trans strategy from 2024 and lost big. This should be instructive for Democrats.

There is a REASON this administration started with undermining diversity

Because it is the power of PEOPLE

All people and we can NAME that

This isn’t a “debate”

This is a fight for us ALL.
If we learn nothing else tonight, please PLEASE let's learn that the American people were NOT won over by an absolute firehose of the most vile dehumanization of trans people. Please @democrats.org, for the love of God and all that's holy, let's FINALLY start refusing to throw ANYone under ANY bus.

they’re going to make the entire 2026 midterms about trans kids in bathrooms and they are going to get absolutely dunked to hell

protect trans kids: it’s the right thing to do and you’re going to win
i genuinely think they believe that the they/them ads won the election and not like, anger over inflation

and so they'll keep trying to double down on social issues
i see we learned nothing from the millions wasted by WES
