Everything old being new again all at once is not a coincidence
Nothing new to say, plenty new to do, infinite solidarity with everyone else trying to do it

Alice Wong’s legacy is the political horizon she helped articulate. A horizon where disabled knowledge is central, and care is a shared commitment. She taught us to name grief & rage without collapsing under them, to celebrate disabled brilliance without ignoring the material conditions shaping life
May we build worlds worthy of Alice’s memory. 💔 Rest in power @sfdirewolf.bsky.social

This moment where everything is being broken is a moment about what we build to replace it, too.
