Hi. I used to write books with someone I loved very much. I'm trying to write books again. And a social media account is still considered important when doing that.
I can't contain my pedantry, because this time it's based in grief. This is worse than anarchy. It's not that No One's In Charge. Plenty of people are in charge, and they're letting it happen.
Al Jazeera: "'War or anarchy': Death toll in Gaza rises as next phase of truce still elusive."
Life is treacherous for civilians. They need us now as much as ever to survive.
Please give to my dear friend Tasneem so she can feed her children. And to others. ❤️

I named my fists Norfolk and Kahanamoku, so I can put up my Dukes.
I named my fists Sense and Sensibility because good judgement and a passionate heart are always up for grabs.
I named my fists Pride and Prejudice, because it is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of two fists must be in want of whupping ass

Watching disabled people around the world mourn Alice is a reminder of the good aspect of the internet. 30 years ago, few people outside of SF would ever have known Alice existed. I never would have met her. The internet connected us all. Let’s honor Alice’s memory by using that power and community.
My social media is wall-to-wall love for the incomparable Alice Wong, and I need more words. What captures sadness and/also affection for a community that knows what's been lost?
Alice could not eat food for years.
And yet at Christmas she would bake cookies and mail them to me—such was her desire to provide care for the people she loved.

One way I have found to mourn someone is to set up a monthly sustaining donation to a mutual aid effort they cared about. If you can join me in honoring Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social with a sustaining donation today, please do. Thank you Alice, and I will not let the bastards grind me down.
