It's in the fucking name. That it happens to so many of us that it's never just the one person who is harmed.

It's me, too.

That was the entire point of #metoo. That one woman wasn't even enough. That a man had to derail the careers of dozens before people started saying "oh yeah maybe we shouldn't let him ruin the careers of so many people."

This idea that #metoo was a temporary piece of insanity that happened because America was too woke...

Fuck you. It was a temporary moment in time when people decided, for the first time, that 20 women were finally equal to one man.

People put their careers on the line to try to get enough people out there that their combined voices would maybe, eventually weigh as much as the voice of one man who had been ruining careers for decades.

Alice was a friend, a mentor, and a guide to so many in the disability community, and especially in the realms of disability and technology and disabled-led design.

This one hurts bad, but some of her last words were "Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all."

Gonna try to hold that.

Her legacy is the voices she lifted, the systems she shook, and the hope she instilled. The disabled people's community are honoured to have her in our lineage. Rest in power, Alice. ✨ /5

Alice Wong taught us that accessibility is a right, not a favor; that disabled people are experts of our own lives; and that community is strength. /4

“I'm honored to be your ancestor & believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future.”

I’m crying. I didn’t know Alice Wong personally, but as a disabled person I felt her kinship & I’ll carry her as an ancestor for however long I have left on this earth 💔
