Too often it’s easy answers to why violence happens. What I love about Transplanar is they go above and beyond that. There are people, who err, who fight, who kill. Life is not black and white. There is almost always nuance. Tonight’s episode hit home on that fact. Thank you for this Transplanar.💟

"Alice supported and took many people with Long COVID under her wing — I was honored to call her a colleague and friend." @mileswgriffis.bsky.social in @thesicktimes.org's obituary for the great Alice Wong: thesicktimes.org/2025/11/15/a...

This excerpt from "Year of the Tiger: An Activist’s Life," by Alice Wong, is a love letter to disabled Asian American women and girls who feel alone and yearn for connection.

sometimes it will just hit me that over a million americans died from covid in a short period of time and we never had a national mourning. we never collectively grieved. we never honored the dead. this feels like a failure

This is one of many reasons it's important to add accurate alt text to images, and include in that alt text any text shown in the image. Don't just go "a tumblr post". Actually copy paste (or type out) what words are there! It helps with a safer experience for everyone!

Reminder for folks if you click that gear will icon on the bottom right of your bluesky dashboard (on browser. Mobile you may have to hit a button first to pop it out), then select the moderation option then "muted words and tags" you can mute words and phrases from 24hrs to forever.

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

2/🧵 New piece with @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social in @NewRepublic: We analyzed 60,000+ respondents in the 2024 Cooperative Election Study. Gen Z has the lowest racial resentment of any generation. The generational shift overwhelms the education divide that supposedly defines modern politics.

3/🧵 This generational trend is consistent across every demographic subgroup you can imagine. Non-college Gen Z men? Lower racial resentment than college-educated elder Millennials. The pattern holds across gender, geography, and religion. Young men and women are moving in tandem.

5/🧵 Race divides the Democratic Party more than it does Republicans. Young Republicans remain almost as racially resentful as older Republicans. But among Democrats and independents, massive shifts. White Gen Z independents have lower racial resentment than Boomer Democrats.

7/🧵 The loudest voices aren't the most representative. Every generation has extremists, but social media amplifies fringe movements beyond their size. A handful of young white nationalists create viral moments that crowd out broader trends. We mistake the exception for the rule.

6/🧵 Why does conventional wisdom miss this? We confuse electoral swings with attitude changes. Gen Z shifted 6 points toward Trump in 2024, suddenly pundits say they're "the most conservative generation in 50 years." Only 42% of Gen Z voted. We mistake turnout shifts for ideological transformation.

As a long-time admirer of Alice Wong, I’m heartbroken and a bit shaken by her passing. 😢💔 You never think your heroes are going to die, and she was truly a Wonder Woman here on Earth. Alice, you will forever be missed and loved by me and countless others. Rest in power!

“One of the things that really gives me joy is the fact that there are so many amazing, brilliant, creative disabled people out there. But part of my rage — and it’s a very real rage — is that most people don’t really know about them.” Obit:

Humans need other human beings to survive. I'm sorry that this makes some people lose their shit but it's one of the key truths of life.

We are here. We make up 25% of the population. Being disabled is part of life and an eventuality for many. Being disabled is not a political ideology. Being disabled cannot be handwaved away and forgotten. We cannot let this happen to Alice's work (which was all about making disabled people heard)

The irony here is painful. Alice Wong wrote a column for Vogue called Disability Visibility. You can still find all her writing for Vogue under her author name. But *Disability Visibility* - also the name of the advocacy group she launched - has been erased. Exactly how disabled people often are.

This hurts.

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

Please repost and donate if you can. I'm in desperate need.

This trans visibility week, consider giving trans people some money, since it’s really kinda fuckin hard for us to live right now

I usually don’t like linking to the NYT, but I think it’s important to know that they wrote and published an obituary immediately for Alice Wong. (It selectively left out parts of her disability activism that they didn’t like, of course.)

This being the last post Alice made for herself makes me incredibly sad. We need more spaces for us. We need more places where voices like Alice’s are uplifted so that others can learn from the wisdom that needs to be shared.

The message on IG from Alice (posted by her friend Sandy Ho). As always, Alice blazes a path for the rest of us, fearlessly & with humor: "I'm honored to be your ancestor & believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all."

An attempt to write about what Alice Wong and her work have meant to me. In my grief & rage at her passing, #SuckItAbleism is the phrase I offer in place of #RIP. www.lisadiedrich.org/thoughts/ali...

We recorded this months ago, and I was going to wait to share it bc of everything, but I just realized I talk about Alice’s work as part of the discussion on why and how I created Art Description, because none of my work happens without the influence of her brilliance and generosity of knowledge. 1/

For a very particular reason, ALAN DERSHOWITZ, I’m thinking about how the Harvard Law Faculty, which Dersh is a member of, were VERY vocal about how Harvard’s mee Obama-era title IX standards were too stringent and “unfair” to accused perpetrators

"A scholarly study found that British colonialism caused approximately 165 million deaths in India from 1880 to 1920, while stealing trillions of dollars of wealth. The global capitalist system was founded on European imperial genocides, which inspired Adolf Hitler and led to fascism."

A young person who facilitated a session at Communiversity today alerted me to a situation happening in Tunisia with West African migrants. They are from there and will be heading home in a week & is fundraising for mutual aid to support the migrants - linktr.ee/tnmutualaid - I donated.

$100 covers rent for one month for a family. $70 covers infant formula for one month. $70 coovers food for a family for one month. $25 covers diapers for one month.

Hello everyone 🌸 It’s Farah & Mohanad. We’re rebuilding little by little, guided by faith, love, and the kindness of others. Your support gives us strength every single day. 🙏🙏 gogetfunding.com/HelpFarahand...

If you want to help with the flooding you could maybe pick one person on this list (I’ll quote tweet the bottom of it in the next post so not everyone picks the first few families) and maybe champion them- you could message them if you like or just make a post/ send it in the group chat etc

Hi y'all, my friend has made a gofundme for their mom to assist with her ongoing survival. Please donate, and if you can't then please share. It all helps! Nobody deserves to be unhoused. gofund.me/d6c17b07c

Eye-opening piece: Epstein “was a believer in the Washington Consensus, US military hegemony bolstered in the Middle East by the alliance with Israel, globalization, the privatization of gov functions, STEM-dominated education, & male-centered sexual hedonism—an ethos he took to sickening extremes.”

Unfortunately, our situation is tragic now. We're in the street, our feet sinking into the mud and rainwater. Our tent collapsed, we've lost everything. My children are freezing from the cold without food. Please look at them with your heart. bsky.app/profile/momm...

Please help. Share and donate if you’re able to.

It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

Me: so as a trans woman i have a recurring nightmare that i will die in a gutter outside a catholic hospital when i am in need of emergency help and they refuse service once they see my dick The media: aww the pope likes It's A Wonderful Life 🤩🤩🤩

Romance should evolve, but its so clear when people want the shine and financial benefit of Romance without respecting the genre, its conventions, or the readers. It's disturbing, but not surprising that we've arrived in a place where CRAFT DOESNT MATTER is a thing people believe.
