Alice Wong’s legacy is the political horizon she helped articulate. A horizon where disabled knowledge is central, and care is a shared commitment. She taught us to name grief & rage without collapsing under them, to celebrate disabled brilliance without ignoring the material conditions shaping life

💔 Alice Wong’s last words: “Don’t let the bastards grind you down.”
We can never thank Alice enough for fighting all the good fights and especially all the hard fights. We all learned so much from your brilliance, your courage, and your indefatigable leadership. We will never forget you.

“Why are traumatized people so MISERABLE?”
“Too much disappointment teaches the system that ‘wanting leads to pain,’ and so it stops responding to potential rewards. … Biologically, it’s an adaptive silencing of the very circuits that make us feel alive.” www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/an-i...

How Chronic Disappointment Rewires the Brain
Chronic disappointment can train the brain to expect pain instead of reward. Restoring hope means reawakening dopamine through small actions, enriched environments, and new desire.

I adore this book. @clclark.bsky.social is so good.
If you haven't read The Unbroken by CL Clark, it's brilliant and on sale for $4.99 at Kobo (and presumably elsewhere). SO GOOD + the final bk in the trilogy just came out! Highly rec'd. Military fantasy deeply immersed in colonialism, two mesmerizing women, a queen and a conscript soldier. SO GOOD.

reminder that love is also a verb. it’s not just a feeling, but something that requires effort and demonstration. and you show love with your actions far more than with what you say.
