I am gutted to learn of @sfdirewolf.bsky.social (Alice Wong’s) passing. She was always a warm friend, a wonderful spirit, and someone who fostered my own growth. She helped me see that, as a #disabled person with chronic illness, I matter—I am whole. I’ll be posting some of Alice’s work. ❤️ forever
A photo of a woman in pink in a wheelchair. She has an intubation for oxygen. She looks up at the viewer. Words: This is Alice's friend Sandy Ho, posting. Per Alice's wishes, this message is being shared at the time of her passing Hi everyone, it looks like I ran out of time. I have so many dreams that I wanted to fulfill and plans to create new stories for you. There are a few in progress that might come to fruition in a few years if things work out. I did not ever imagine ! would live to this age and end up a writer, editor, activist, and more. As a kid riddled with insecurity and internalized ableism, I could not see a path forward. It was thanks to friendships and some great teachers who believed in me that I was able to fight my way out of miserable situations into a place where I finally felt comfortable in my skin. We need more stories about us and our culture. You all, we all, deserve the everything and more in such a hostile, ableist environment. Our wisdom is incisive and unflinching. I'm honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all. may her memory

Beautiful photograph of anti-slavery activist Sarah Remond.

Remond also spent 3 years in Britain, arriving in 1859. She studied at Bedford College, but continued to give public lectures across the country.

Sarah Remond (b. 1826), granddaughter of a Black Revolutionary War veteran, ended segregation in a Boston theater with a lawsuit in 1853. She was an internationally prominent anti-slavery lecturer, physician, & activist for abolition & women's suffrage.

TEXTILE SHAKESPEARE is official-publication-date-minus-2-weeks (11 November) which is a LOT👀 (I can't remember feeling this wound up about other books, I have the concentration of a gnat at the moment🙄) but seems to be live as an e-book already so, available to your Kindle right now, apparently...
The cover of a book. Text reads Textile Shakespeare. The lower part of the image is ink printed on linen and embroidery, black on white, with some silver thread, with flowers, fruit, insects, and animals. it is discoloured with age.

Still time to conquer your Fear of Physics and join me tomorrow (Mon) night for my When Physics and Fairy Tales Collide Zoom writing workshop!

Do you have "Fear of Physics"? Let me cure you at my Zoom writing workshop, When Physics & Fairy Tales Collide, Mon Oct 20 7-9pm UK! We'll play with weird & wonderful physics words, celebrate female physicists and invent particles! Pay-what-you-can available: app.tickettailor.com/events/tania...
A screenshot where the top half of the screen has white writing on a green background, and it says When Physics and Fairy Tales Collide - Zoom Writing Workshop Mon 20 Oct 2025 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM BST Online, Zoom. Underneath is a picture of different coloured brightly lit lines, and the text: "Physics is philled with galaxies of inspiration for writers of fiction, poetry, non-fiction and hybrids, from delicious terms like 'charmed quark', 'gluon', 'boojum', 'superstring' and the 'luminiferous aether' to mysterious and magical concepts such as 'dark' energy', 'parallel universes' and 'quantum gravity". Writers have been using fairy tales as inspiration for centuries, borrowing characters, structures and general fairytaleishness. What might result from the collision of these two universes? Let's experiment, creating physics fairy tales, naming our own subatomic particles, and inviting Snow White, Goldilocks and all the dwarves into the lab!" On the right it says: When Physics and Fairy Tales Collide - Zoom Writing Workshop Mon 20 Oct 2025 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM BST Online, Zoom.

THE ALCHEMY LECTURE The City of Our Dreaming LALEH KHALILI V. MITCH MCEWEN GABRIELA LEANDRO PEREIRA LEANNE BETASAMOSAKE SIMPSON With an Introduction by CHRISTINA SHARPE The City of Our Dreaming The Alchemy Lecture LALEH KHALILI, V. MITCH MCEWEN, GABRIELA LEANDRO PEREIRA, AND LEANNE BETASAMOSAKE SIMPSON The third annual Alchemy Lecture brought together four "Alchemists"-thinkers and practitioners working across disciplines and geographies-to share a constellation of ideas for the future. Their urgent, poignant and inventive lectures comprise The City of Our Dreaming, which shares their ideas for cities and how to shape them according to community needs. Together, V. Mitch McEwen, Laleh Khalili, Gabriela Leandro Pereira, and Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg writer and musician Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, offer new models for crafting architectures of freedom in disparate imaginative spaces. From suggesting a city modeled on buoyancy that reconsiders displacement and a dream of radical kinship and bonds through reciprocal giving, to "projects paved by the audacity to inhabit" that are built from dreams-the site from which all Black emancipation begins-and the ways collectives form at the thresholds between things, The City of our Dreaming is a clarion calls for new conceptions of city life. The Alchemists imagine the architectures and infrastructures that make possible, inevitable and irresistible gestures of freedom, modes of sustenance, and the necessity and pleasure of breaking bread, together. dukeupress.edu/the-city-of-our-dreaming November 2025 | 182 pages 978-1-4780-3869-6 | $26.95 paperback $18.87 with discount Special offer: Use coupon code E26CITYD to save 30% when you order from dukeupress.edu.
