The New York Times obit for Alice Wong doesn’t mention Covid or Gaza
It ignores two of her biggest causes because of political bias
Alice fought tirelessly for Covid mitigations
She fought for the people of Gaza
She rightfully reminded us that the genocide in Gaza is a disability justice issue

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.

Update: the play's writer responded, explaining the play is intended for white & Jewish audiences. I asked why I was invited & she replied - "We are reaching beyond the normal theater-going public, which is why we contacted you."
LOL.
Her name is Francesca Root-Dodson.

Hello. If your play calls what's happening in Gaza a “conflict” & a “war”, centers the story of two white people’s marriage "torn apart after Oct 7" to do it & involves no Palestinians in “the team” in the process please stay the fuck out of my inbox with your complimentary tickets. Thank you.

Check out my latest in @newrepublic.com - a double review of two incisive new books (AIDS IN THE HEARTLAND and FROM VICE TO NICE, both @uncpress.bsky.social) chronicling the histories of HIV/AIDS far from NYC or SF - in places like Kansas and Minneapolis. newrepublic.com/article/2004...
How the Heartland Responded to AIDS and Shaped Queer Politics
Histories of the epidemic tend to focus on coastal cities, but the response was very different in the middle of the country.
