Being a Luddite Is Cool and All, but Have You Seen the Hilarious Tapestries These New Looms Are Making? Don’t get me wrong, I’m as invested in keeping my job as the next weaver. When the boss brought in that big new power loom, I was pretty skeptical....

When the boss brought in that big new power loom, I was skeptical. He said once he got it running, we’d be out of a job, so when the boys started talking about breaking into the factory and smashing the thing, I was on board. Until, that is, I saw the funny tapestries it could make.

I’ve got an essay in a new book coming out that you might appreciate if you’ve ever wondered how ADHD plays into the work I do. I believe this is the first time I’ve been included as an actual writer in something and feel overwhelming gratitude to have participated πŸ’–.

Screenshot of a post from @SFdirewolf Alice Wong’s X account posted very early this morning:

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.

Gutted to learn this morning of the passing of disability justice activist Alice Wong @sfdirewolf.bsky.social πŸ˜₯ I admire her writing & fierceness in advocating for herself & others for protections in hospital in the early days of the pandemic, how I came to know of her. What a force! RIP Alice πŸ’œ

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old.

There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.

Ancient Gems Linked to Buddha Are Returned to India Sotheby’s had canceled an auction of the Piprahwa Gems after pressure from the Indian government. India said the relics were back in their β€œrightful home.”

The Piprahwa Gems, Buddhist relics taken by an English explorer from a sacred burial ground in British-occupied India in 1898, have been repatriated and will go on display to the public, the Indian government said on Wednesday.
