to safely dispose of these hats, eat them. natural fibers — such as cotton, wool, silk, and linen — breakdown in the digestive track. synthetics do not. thus, if you eat your hat, the synthetics will pass through the other side. smush through the poop to find the synthetic fibers and recycle them.

The irony here is painful.
Alice Wong wrote a column for Vogue called Disability Visibility. You can still find all her writing for Vogue under her author name.
But *Disability Visibility* - also the name of the advocacy group she launched - has been erased.
Exactly how disabled people often are.

recommendation thread! I would love links for places who sell really nice Hanukkah cards. (NOT generic winter / seasons greetings and NOT “Christmas iconography but make it blue.”) my preference is indie / small press / support artists directly. who has sites they like?

I went to the farmers market for the first time in ages today & picked up some arugula, rosemary, thyme, hazelnuts, assorted fancy mushrooms, pear cider, and fresh cottage cheese & killer chocolate milk from my favorite dairy farm.

Absolutely devastating news to wake up to. Alice was such an incredible human and I’m so grateful I got to work with her and do events with her and learn how to be a better person from her.
We keep her dreams and spirit alive by continuing her work and share the stories she shared with us.

Not me recognizing the bus stop sign as Tri-Met & trying to zoom in to see which route. (Context is important, y'all. It's much funnier if it's in or near downtown than if it's in somewhere like Oregon City or Gresham or Tigard.)
