I don’t want to formulate words yet, but my friend Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social of the Disability Visibility Project, has passed.
Here are the words she left behind:

A thread of Inuit art that you didn't know you needed, starting with one of my favourites
🧵
Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.
this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
@mossyoakmaoist.bsky.social
guys it’s really not funny that the fbi agent took a footlong to the chest. stop laughing. it’s NOT FUNNY that an fbi agent in head to toe tactical gear tried to chase the guy who hucked a sandwich straight at his bulletproof vest but couldn’t outrun him
I figured I'd wait a couple minutes to make extra sure, so I didn't share it. I'm so sorry. What a fucking awful world.
well. at least there's new worms
Hey, the common loon called. Yeah, it was hauntingly beautiful

ICE GOONS draw guns on humanitarian aid workers

One Lasker sibling is a fascist eugenicist asshole with 262K followers on X who is a source for the NYT and is in dialogue with the world's most influential authoritarians. The other is a non-fascist, queer fiber artist/educator with 4k followers on Bluesky who has no clout with the NYTimes.
I'm sorry but you can't call yourself a socialist or, frankly, a decent person, if you think people should suffer untold tragedy, starvation, illness, terror, etc just because you don't like them. you can want to strip them of their power, absolutely. but you don't get to want their kids to drown
They haven’t pushed out an update yet, but with flooding in the North Austin Metro area, it is vital that APA and other groups get as many temp fosters as they can.
Williamson County is in emergency ops mode because the Georgetown shelter needs to be evacuated.
Orange and white cat dismayed by the lack of compassion in the world
Sure are an lottof shiddy pepple owt thare . Try nott to be oneof them.
@mossyoakmaoist.bsky.social where is the LIE
Scratch a lib...
Texas officials appeared to be almost entirely issuing vital emergency alerts about the deadly Kerr County flooding via Facebook and Twitter/X.
Utter malpractice to restrict these alerts to social media platforms that huge numbers of people don’t use anymore.
