‘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.’
—Alice Wong

Alice Wong was one of the most effective people challenging the Whiteness of disability communities and its many flaws, but who believed fiercely in us as a community, in disabled people as oracles.

Alice brought so much to so many of us, it’s hard to measure the kind of gratitude I have for that.

I will say something more later about the depths of @sfdirewolf.bsky.social’s love and friendship and knowledge and courage and bad assery. Alice Wong was a disabled Warrior Oracle and I am so blessed to know her.

But for now all I got is Fuck 2025.

we all need to hear this

If you're a Spotify user who is finding the microgenre & geodata of your annual "Wrapped" to be less substantial than usual, there's a reason why.

A year ago, Spotify laid off most of its employees who worked on genre classification, including folks like data alchemist @glennmcdonald.bsky.social.

Touching to have Spotify celebrate the 1-year anniversary of my layoff by demonstrating that they could not, in fact, still do Wrapped just as well without me.

I tend to avoid Amazon anyway, but I also get annoyed by the wave of "you have to boycott" posts that come out every time a union announces a strike. Do your own research and listen to the workers themselves.

I've read multiple articles about today's Amazon strike and not a single one has mentioned any demands from workers that consumers boycott the company today
