Alice Wong Alice Wong had an outsized impact on Disability justice. As a community organiser, activist, mentor, and co-conspirator, as writer, editor, and friend, she is irreplaceable.

For the Disability community, losing Alice Wong is like losing Ursula Le Guin or Octavia Butler. She was a powerhouse, a pioneer, and a mentor to many. She taught me so much. And always reminded me what we were fighting towards, as well as against. I miss her clarity, bravery, and joy.

The single biggest thing that would improve my life as a wheelchair user who can't drive would be a reliable, regular, and reasonably priced public transport system. If it were actually properly accessible that would also be nice.

If you like bookish things and have access to a child who needs entertaining in half-term you could do worse than bring them to the @rcpmuseum.bsky.social for some #RareBooks -inspired folding, cutting, colouring and sticking next week.

Since I don't know for sure that @girlinthe.bsky.social has seen this, it is necessary to repost. I think @wobblygoose.bsky.social would also appreciate it.

The buff-tip moth (Phalera bucephala) has mastered a very particular kind of camouflage.

When they close their wings up, they resemble a broken twig.

Native to large parts of Europe, there's regional pattern variation that reflects the local tree species. This one best resembles birch twigs?

A view over a white bed sheet stretched onto a frame. On it are lines of red, orange, black and green, showing the major and minor roads of a town and some of the footpaths

My "Heck, is this project even going to work????" nerves are starting to subside a little! I reckon we've sewn at least 2/3rds of the streets in the town, and I've got 29 memories/favourite places marked on the map and recorded in my little folder too. It's not quite a couple of metres square

New exhibition is alive. Here: history.rcp.ac.uk/exhibitions/... and in the physical real world @rcpmuseum.bsky.social.

There are books in it. More to follow when I've had the customary lie down in a darkened room.

Yes, more people could potentially work with the right job, the right employer, and the right adjustments/support.

But many still won't be able to. This is just a fact.

And actually it's cruel to have someone work, if it would mean they don't have any capacity left to live.

Hello! I wonder if monstrous rooster needs a place in the rooster collection at college, or if they already have one?
