Black text on a yellow background - This is Alice's friend Sandy Ho, posting. Per Alice's wishes, this message is being shared at the time of her passing. Hi everyone, it looks like I ran out of time. I have so many dreams that I wanted to fulfill and plans to create new stories for you. There are a few in progress that might come to fruition in a few years if things work out. I did not ever imagine I would live to this age and end up a writer, editor, activist, and more. As a kid riddled with insecurity and internalized ableism, I could not see a path forward. It was thanks to friendships and some great teachers who believed in me that I was able to fight my way out of miserable situations into a place where I finally felt comfortable in my skin. We need more stories about us and our culture. You all, we all, deserve the everything and more in such a hostile, ableist environment. Our wisdom is incisive and unflinching. I'm honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.

A timely article that everyone should read!

Thank you for pointing out! Cannot agree more.

such a wonderful conversation!

I read this brilliant article. As Prof. Harris discussed in detail, guardianship is never about the well-being of marginalized groups, including disabled people, but rather about the exploitation of their money, power, and labor. Highly recommended!

Poster presentations are very normal in social science too!

Cannot agree more. Disabiity is a human nature that across classes.

I hope you are fully recovered now!🥺

Wow!! Looking forward to reading it!

"It is a replacement limb," said White, whose organization has heard of several cases in which lenders have repossessed wheelchairs or prostheses. Repossession is "literally a punishment to the individual.

I CANNOT understand it, repossessions of prosthetic limbs...

Learn this today: “The prime goal of research should be to gain accurate understanding and, as a researcher, use methods and techniques which enhance understanding. Use the method: do not let it use you.”

Law review artciles must be very fun for a trip 🤣

This closing is becasue " the Idaho State Board of Education (ISBOE) passed a resolution that bans offices that promote DEI Ideology on college campuses." This is HORRIBLE.
