The rain flooded my tent, and now we're freezing to death. There's no warm mattress or tent; everything is wet, even our clothes. We sleep with the rain pouring down on our heads. Please help me and my children to protect us from the rain. I beg you, please donate.😭😭

I lost my home, my tent burned, and the heavy rains destroyed what was left. Now my children and I are without shelter, mattresses, food, or clothes. My children are sitting on the rain-soaked sand; they have no mattresses. Please, I beg you, help me save my children's lives. 😭😭😭 gofund.me/7fc0e346

Alice Wong was one of the most effective people challenging the Whiteness of disability communities and its many flaws, but who believed fiercely in us as a community, in disabled people as oracles.
Alice brought so much to so many of us, it’s hard to measure the kind of gratitude I have for that.

So sad to hear of Alice Wong's passing, like many people her words and actions transformed my thinking on disability, pleasure & so much more. I had the wonderful experience early this year of having her as an editor. She will be sorely missed but her star will keep shining through her writing 💜

If I had a euro for everytime this particular person has written to me to inform me that they are blocking me, I could treat myself to a large pumpkin spice latte with oat milk and extra caramel 🤷🏼♀️🥤🤷🏼♀️
Fyi you don't email someone to announce you're going to block their email, you just do it ✌️
