Rest in power, Alice Wong.

A fierce disability justice oracle, storyteller, and now ancestor.

She taught us that disabled wisdom lights the future, and that our stories must never be erased.

We mourn. We fight. We carry her work forward.
Thank you, Alice. For everything you gave us.

I don’t care who you are, the one thing that links all of the -isms and bigotries together and sets them on fire is eugenics and ableism.

They’ve been playing you all the entire time. There is no progress in this country for ANYTHING without equity for disabled people.

What’s the point of winning if you do nothing with the win? You’re just filling a seat while everything is destroyed around you.

People call disabled folks β€œburdens,” but I’ve never met anyone more resourceful, patient, and relentless than sick and disabled people practiced at keeping each other alive.
