Gutted to lose Alice Wong. Her voice, her vision, her kindness have changed the world for people with disabilities (including me) and will continue to do so.

She left a message:
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 I 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.

It’s Pub Day for this beautiful poetry anthology, Love is for All of Us: poems of tenderness and belonging from the lgbtq+ community and friends, edited by James Crews & Brad Peacock. I’m humbled to have a poem in it, alongside so many amazing others. Congratulations James, Brad & all of the poets!

#HandsOff rally in Albuquerque, NM. @maddow.msnbc.com @indivisible.org
Two women smoking and holding signs, one reading, “Love still wins” and one that says, “No sign is big enough for this!” Woman with sunglasses holding a sign reading, “Hands off! Social security, Medicare, voting rights, USPS, vaccines, healthcare” Backs of crowd of people at rally, including man draped in rainbow flag that says, Peace. Drone shot of crowd at rally showing over a thousand people.

Post a picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline
The shadow outline of a deer, among branches, next to a pond which reflects the dark outlines of pine trees and yellow evening sky.

Starting over here after years at that site that used to have the blue bird. What a relief to feel safe again. Hello!
Seen from below, a large Sandhill crane with wings outstretched and three smaller-appearing cranes above it, against a blue sky with pink sunset clouds.
