Automatic captions make it difficult to watch videos because the viewer is forced to decipher misspelled or mistranslated words that appear in a string of text without any punctuation. These can be distracting and disorienting. Always edit your captions before publishing.

The New York Times obit for Alice Wong doesn’t mention Covid or Gaza

It ignores two of her biggest causes because of political bias

Alice fought tirelessly for Covid mitigations

She fought for the people of Gaza

She rightfully reminded us that the genocide in Gaza is a disability justice issue

I want you to get vaccinated if you can, for everything that you can, to protect both yourself and those who cannot.

I used to have this argument about the flu shot. People I know were all "well i'm young and in good health so i don't need to." Do you care about anyone who is not those things?!

For the fifty billionth time: I don't want society to shut down. I want you to mask at the fucking hospital, bus, airport, school, and grocery store, if you can.

If you cannot, I want everyone else to, to protect you.

“She explained how much Covid could hurt her & how vulnerable it felt to be unable to wear a mask to protect herself.

She was a perfect example of why other people need to wear masks even if they don’t personally think Covid will hurt them”

If you want to honour Alice Wong’s memory, please mask up
Thank You Alice Wong
Alice Wong has passed away and the disability community has lost a leader. I lost a mentor and a friend. The Disabled Ginger wouldn't exist without Alice and everything she taught me.

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong.

Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

PLEASE keep talking about COVID. please keep talking about how crucial masking is to stop the spread of infectious disease. we need more people to understand that their government lied to them and threw them to the wolves.

"Black people are tired. Not metaphorically tired—actually tired. The kind of tired that turns every group chat into a mix of gallows humor and emotional triage."

I write about white ignorance and how exhausting it is to hear white ppl insist "this isn't who we are, when it's ALWAYS who we've been.
White People’s Performative Ignorance Is Exhausting—Opinion
Disbelief over authoritarianism in America isn’t a cutesy personality trait. It’s a confession: You haven’t been paying attention.

It’s not too late to wear a mask.

It’s not too late to protect your health.

It’s not too late to show you care about the health of those around you.

It’s not too late to do your part to make public spaces inclusive & accessible.

It’s radical kindness & community care.
