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
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 by an A&M professor describing how the new rules will impact faculty. Syllabi must be fed into AI to be checked for content not aligned with approved syllabi; students will be encouraged to report faculty for inaccurate content; and young people are now being told they get to decide what a professor should teach.
Message to all faculty: your expertise is no longer trusted or valued at this so-called “university.”
IF YOU LIVE IN SEATTLE, for the love of god, please check to make sure your ballot was counted and doesn’t need its signature cured

this actually still fucking sucks because it’s still mocking disability and framing it as punishment. this dem influencer account posts shit like this regularly, and it sucks that some of my oomfies still follow it
This is "debanking", and its a problem that has plagued sex workers for decades. It isnt right when its targetting sex workers and its not right when its targetting game devs and creators either.
Give paypros and your givt reps your grievances and demand that debanking of adult content stop
Actually circulating videos of Candace Owens that make her seem reasonable because she’s correct on *one* issue is not good work
There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.
America’s children deserve better than this.
hi, cis folks in california!
this headline leaves out that newsom has another 5 days to sign these bills into law. if you’d like to tell him he should do that to protect trans californians, you should to reach out.
he also has a phone: (916) 445-2841
want to know what to say? next post! 🧵
Republicans are pushing debunked anti-abortion propaganda as an excuse to rip mifepristone off the shelves and block women from getting abortion care.
100+ studies prove mifepristone is safe and effective.
SPEAK UP, we can't let them get away with this.
endlessly embarrassing that the powers that be here banned Link. just disqualifying.
“As a neurodiversity advocate and as an autistic person, I’m really grateful for so much of the work that’s been done that allows me to be myself and to be successful being myself.” Link, who has been *banned*!?!? from this platform?

Don’t listen to anyone who minimizes the threat of a government that “only” wants to tighten the authoritarian surveillance noose for “some” people. THATS ALWAYS HOW IT BEGINS YOU FASCISM ENABLERS.
“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.”
Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!
This is so apt I could shout.
The white folks continue lecturing people online and by doing so putting EVERYBODY in danger. Including themselves. Tips that our ancestors knew were stupid AF even back then.
Do not obey in advance applies to "giving into the hopeless despair they want you to" as well
Truer every single day
Yall know that these people dont intend to leave office, right?
lol this is what they fired him for saying
It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses
oh my god
it is
it is genuinely
wow
to see @capublichealth.bsky.social explicitly encouraging respirator use.
THANK YOU
Just pointing out this is functionally not different from that EO.
Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:
I hate this status update, but I need to give it:
We are working to deploy an update to our location detection that we hope will solve some inaccuracies. It should roll out in the next couple hours.
next time you're in a national park, take some photos of the signage and upload it to help these archivists www.404media.co/save-our-sig...
