In honor of @sfdirewolf.bsky.social's legacy as a disability activist and writer, today we are republishing Bitch Magazine's Access Series, which was originally curated by Alice Wong. Worker-owner and former Bitch editor-in-chief Evette Dionne updated the intro to the series here:

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.

Alice Wong was a luminary, and her light will shine on for many years to come. this is a beautiful tribute from @thesicktimes.org co-founder @mileswgriffis.bsky.social

I talked with @prisonculture.bsky.social and Red Schulte about the importance of zines under fascism, political education that builds power, finding collective courage, and the mistakes we’ll make along the way. Audio + transcript:

There are currently credible rumors that Trump plans to deploy federal law enforcement agents in DC tomorrow or this weekend.

Here are some ways we can all stay safe and stay strong if that happens 🧵

A pro-Palestine student activist group at University of Maryland has won a $100,000 settlement from the university in a lawsuit stemming from administrators’ blocking of students’ vigil for Gaza last year. “SJP will spend every dollar of the $100,000 penalty toward organizing for a free Palestine.”

Born disabled, Patty was told as a child that they would not live past 16 years old. This prediction was pessimistic, and wrong. Patty grew up to live a full life, and changed disability history. Now, as disabled people face brutal cuts to Medicaid, we must draw on Berne’s insight.
