You can start by having a rummage around the Disability Visibility website, with hundreds of interviews, articles and podcasts, or you could start by reading the anthologies Alice edited with Vintage, or read her memoir, The Year of the Tiger.

RIP Alice Wong, fiercest, finest, most fabulously dressed freedom fighter and friend. She changed the world a bit at a time every day and never stopped loving it. She taught me so much. I canβt believe this. I miss her bravery and clarity already. πβΏοΈ

Metal shelves are shown stacked with cardboard boxes full of Bully Pulpit Gaming games. There is an empty bubble gum machine at the bottom left of the photograph and three black folding chairs leaning against the shelves. The folded chair closest to the viewer has BPG written in silver marker.
A grey SUV is shown with all of its doors opened. The second row of passenger seats are folded down and the interior cabin space is nearly packed full with the boxes from the other photograph!
Busy! @segedy.bsky.social has been moving boxes of our games to the car + @jmstar.bsky.social been writing games for our $1 Bubblegum Games machine! Stop by Expo Booth #4349 during #PAXUnplugged. Play a demo of #ZhenyasWonderTales or buy our gaming goodies!
How do you prepare for #conventions?

Russians may not hear about Judgment Day after all. The UVB-76 military radio station, known as "The Buzzer" since the 1970s, went offline following a drone strike on its power substation, a monitoring account reported.

The bombs have dropped, the smoke has cleared and there's a new episode of WING WOMEN! β€οΈβοΈ
The witches' victory lap is cut woefully short. Annie reveals her storied past - deeply intertwining one of the aviatrixes in the mistakes of her long-absent brother.
Tune in here!ποΈβ‘οΈ linktr.ee/wingwomenpod
Itβs here: a podcast with our faces.
Weβre playing Fiasco, a TTRPG that goes gloriously off the rails on purpose. Because sometimes chaos is the plan.
Part one is out now wherever you listen to podcasts, and on our YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKhp...
Welcome to FIASCO! We're launching our first-ever video podcast tomorrow, Nov. 11th, at 7am PT!

I was a judge in 2015 and Fight Truck was such a wonderful breath of fresh air. Those of us who loved it *really* loved it even as it scared us a little.
