happy 8-year adoptaversary to my ESA dog companion. when i picked her up from the county shelter post-spay, she was on trazodone for shelter stress and smelled of pee and fear. her hair was matted, she was skinny and shaking, but her eyes were alert and bright.

i love you, dear one.

Alice Wong created so much beauty and community, embodied fearless love, laughed and loved and defied eugenics overculture, insisted on crip erotics, claimed all that could never be taken away, and that brilliance will live on and on and on. ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥🌸💓
Alice Wong. A beautiful East Asian Chinese American woman glows and smiles at the camera. She wears ballon-sleeved clothing in bright pinks, oranges, yellows, and purple hues. Her shoulder-length black hair sports blonde highlights and she wears red lipstick. Her hands are folded in front of her. A trachea tube leads from her neck to a backpack on her power wheelchair. She is beautiful, smart, and fierce.

It’s snowing outside.
Wednesday November 12, temperature at 6 a.m. (I woke up around 5 or 5:30 a.m.) was 35 degrees with feels like temperature of 28 degrees Fahrenheit. Screenshot from Weather dot com website Snow falling outside. A small white and black dog wearing a dog sweater and a parka over it looks over at her human. The dog’s small face is squished and her eyes and expression look concerned.

“We are expected to tolerate harm in exchange for resources and community”

From Abolish Time: “We are expected to tolerate harm in exchange for resources and community, lessening our agency over how we survive this treacherous historical period. As fascism convinces more people to equate compromise with survival, the cost of being uncompromising steepens. It comes as no surprise that eugenicist normalcy has us fighting over our means of staying alive. Fascists don't shy away from posing and answering the question ‘who gets to live?’ By contrast, apologists may play coy when the question is posed, but through action they make the decision for many of us in the margins.”
