ALSO.
If you're just coming across this news now, and thinking about what you can do to support disabled people like Alice in your community.

WEAR A MASK.

“Don’t let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.”
Black text on a yellow background - 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.

You can find her words through her author name, though.

Alice's work at Teen Vogue:

(I saw a post going around—that I can't reply to—saying her column has been deleted, but I found her words via this page.)

Her last post was about being laid off from Teen Vogue. Terrible.

Yeah re-directing the apparatus of brutality in ways that are more politically convenient on the surface is not how we’re gonna get out of this mess, including calling people working for him “illegals” and wishing them ill. (Also he doesn’t give a F. if his employees get deported.)
