“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.

The addition of analogue insulins to the World Health Organization’s essential medicines list is a great step in the right direction, but access to insulin and diabetes care is still out of reach for millions of patients worldwide.
What it means to lose access to diabetes care: stories from people living with diabetes around the world
Managing diabetes is complicated. Even with access to the best tools and technology, it requires constant blood sugar level monitoring and daily treatment in the form of medication or insulin.

Ashes, our formerly feral, proper princess of a cat (2005-2020), and Noah, the derpiest of derps (2006-2023).
A grey and white cat stretched out on white sheets in front of a pillow, basking in a sunbeam. A domestic shorthair black cat staring at the camera in an upside down position after sliding off a denim-clad lap.
