Went to karaoke last night. A guy flirted with me & said I looked like Alanis - I sang "You Oughta Know". Then he got too stoned & drunk to even dance. This era is wild.

A quick sketch of Alice Wong, an extraordinary writer, editor, organizer and disability revolutionary. She's beautiful, middle aged, leaning against a power chair headrest, with a ventilator tube attached to a tracheotomy at her throat. wearing vivid purple and a bright red lip. I tried to capture the expression she often wore of joy mixed with an inner amusement and determination.

She was extraordinary, and extraordinarily generous. Alice Wong: I am so grateful to have been alive in her lifetime. She was one of our species' best. She deserved better. My her legacy be for a blessing.

And I, as a district councilor, can't accept free Cubs tickets.
