A whale caught in crab nets is fighting for her life on the Oregon Coast near Yachats, with so many people rushing there before official help arrives at dawn. The whale is vocalizing distress, asking for help. It's devastating. We have to find a way to stop entanglements. Unconscionable.

Waking up to the news of Alice Wong's death, and very sad. She was, and remains, a force. Interview from early 2025: "To be a disabled oracle is someone who tells their truths in a hostile ableist world that does not believe you." #AliceWong #disability #disabilitycommunity #longCOVID

Such a profound loss for the disability rights movement and for the world. We grieve, and we send sympathy to all who knew her personally. If you did not know the work of Alice Wong, let today be the day you pick up one of her books.
I don’t want to formulate words yet, but my friend Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social of the Disability Visibility Project, has passed.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.
So much work remains to be done.
