The Press did not go into defence mode when the President launched a disgusting ableist attack on one their own--the worst tried to gaslight people into believing it wasn’t actually what we all saw on tape. So no, I’m not surprised nobody on that plane defended the reporter Tr*mp called a pig

So now we’re suddenly upset about Trump insulting journalists. Gotcha.

No media outlet has done a “Battin at 11” headline. And they wonder why nobody trusts them

Watching disabled people around the world mourn Alice is a reminder of the good aspect of the internet. 30 years ago, few people outside of SF would ever have known Alice existed. I never would have met her. The internet connected us all. Let’s honor Alice’s memory by using that power and community.
My social media is wall-to-wall love for the incomparable Alice Wong, and I need more words. What captures sadness and/also affection for a community that knows what's been lost?
Alice could not eat food for years.

And yet at Christmas she would bake cookies and mail them to me—such was her desire to provide care for the people she loved.
