One way I have found to mourn someone is to set up a monthly sustaining donation to a mutual aid effort they cared about. If you can join me in honoring Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social with a sustaining donation today, please do. Thank you Alice, and I will not let the bastards grind me down.

A few years ago myself and some crip friends read Disability Visibility as the first book in our book club. Alice heard about it, over on the bad place, and sent us signed book plates. May her memory be a blessing and a revolution.

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

Just learned that @sfdirewolf.bsky.social passed on

If you didn't know much about Alice Wong, they were a disability rights activist.
A couple years ago, read their 'Disability Visibility' book of essays— definitely worth reading

This has always been one of my favorite quotes of Alice's. I think it explains the easy affinity between disability communities, queer communities (forged in the shadow of AIDS) and Palestinian communities (formed in the shadow of genocide): death is our "intimate shadow partner"—& so is love.

‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’

How fortunate we have been to live in the world Alice Wong helped make possible. If you want to honor her memory, a small thing you can do is wear a mask to protect yourself and others from respiratory illness.

If I was unclear as to what the movie is, it's called Daughters of the Dust (1991).

You can rent and/or buy it on Amazon Prime, DVD, or Apple TV

And you really should

Happy birthday to Julie Dash 🙏🏾

I've never been big on Hasan Piker as a streamer - though that's because I'm not into live streams - but I'm glad he's still using that status to criticize the actions of Israel and those who support it (despite the *obviousness* of how wrong such actions are).
theserfstv.bsky.social The Serfs (youtube.com/theserfstv) @theserfstv.bsky.social · 2d
Holy shit the rants Hasan goes on in his streams are now making it into Variety (no lies detected btw)
Variety @Variety · 1h Hasan Piker calls Gal Gadot “a dogsh*t actress” and quips: “She has no business [being at the Oscars] for the crime of what she has done to not only the DC franchise, but really any movie she’s been a part of.” “All jokes aside,” he continued, “Gal Gadot serves an important role in normalizing Israel as not a fascist ethno-state, but instead a place where a lot of beautiful women come from. And those beautiful women happen to serve in the IDF, because there’s also this weird sexualization of the forces as well that takes place, and it plays another role in normalizing Israel and its activities and actions, and whitewashing it.”

The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative.

The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.

Because the NYT is a fascist propaganda rag at this point masquerading as legitimate news. I'm sure there's many fine journalists there but the complete abdication of journalistic integrity by management/editors has eroded public trust and demonstrates it's all lip service. We have no free press.
robertscotthorton.bsky.social Scott Horton @robertscotthorton.bsky.social · 2d
The question everyone is asking right now is this: NYT had deep access into all of this in real time and reported none of it. Why? In consequence, no NYT reporting on this subject is trustworthy.

"Democrats will never fully support disabled people because disability is the antithesis of capitalism. It requires we take a step back from always making a profit when it comes to the lives of people who can produce no profit outside of extraction from our for-profit healthcare system."

Safe travels to Nakadai Tatsuya (1932-2025), the great, great Japanese actor of both film and stage, who disappeared into every role he played. It's hard to imagine any story of Japanese cinema without him.
film still from Akira Kurosawa's High and Low (1963) film still of Nakadai in Masaki Kobayashi’s 1962 film Harakiri. Nakadai in Kurosawa's Ran (1985), his reimagining of King Lear Nakadai performs during a rehearsal in Tokyo in May 2025

Roger is a legend. Respect.

The manoomin fact sheet I made a few years back for @anishinaabekdem.bsky.social, why not. Roger is quoted at the very end. Can't quick find the larger version where I more prominently featured his words.

Super cool that recognition was fought for and won. ♥️🌾💧
Manoomin (Wild Rice) as Michigan's Native Grain ANISHINAABEK CAUCUS OF THE MICHIGAN DEMOCRATIC PARTY Manoomin is considered sacred and central to the Annishaabe culture Manoomin is a important nutritious & traditional food source for the Anishnaabe people. The Anishinaabek word for wild rice, manoomin, translates as "good berry" Manoomin is central to Anishinaabek community cohesion, commerce, agricultural pracaces, healthful sustenance, and cultural and historic lineage. Because of these deep connections, manoomin is considered sacred. Wherever possible, Ojibwe communities in the Great Lakes have retained their connections to this important plant, and many continue to cultivate and harvest manoomin each year. Once common across Michigan, Manoomin has significantly declined Manoomin grows in shallow, quiet waters of inland lakes & slow-flowing streams. Historically, Manoomin was widespread with the largest beds found in the vast coastal marshes along the Great Lakes & outlets of Michigan's major rivers. Once plentiful in places like northern Michigan, manoomin populations have dwindled due to factors like habitat loss, degraded water quality, & development. Presently there are less than 200 rice beds across the state, with only one large bed remaining, for a total of only 700 acres. Wild rice grew along many of the banks in the Detroit River. Indigenous people gathered it by knocking it into their canoes. A small strand of wild rice currently exists along the shoreline of the Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge. Manoomin is an integral part of the aquatic ecosystem Manoomin shelters young fish from predators until they are big enough to survive. It provides natural habitat and protection for migratory waterfowl, birds, & mammals, and is a primary food source for many animals. Official Designation as Native Grain would benefit Michigan "Losing rice would be like losing our language. "Roger LaBine, La Vieux Desert Band of Lake Superior Chippewa
