“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 mean, it'd be nice if I could clear the last $100 of this request. But I understand times are hard and dollars don't go as far as they used to. I need this, though. Caregiving is isolating, and these few social events are a lifeline. But I HAVE to compensate the substitute care. It's only right.

Folks, if you absolutely must talk about rape and pedophiles and sex with children, you have to actually spell out the words. This is not TikTok. The algorithm isn't going to censor you. But if you type "p3d0phi|e" you're going to force someone who has that word muted to see your post.

Never forget the same people defending pedophilia have spent years trying to convince the public that drag queens and trans people are a threat to children. It’s all smoke and mirrors to allow the real predators to roam free.

Just a reminder that even if/when SNAP benefits start flowing again, the crisis for food banks will not be over. They'll still have low inventory and many SNAP recipients will also be stocking up on items. And then you add on the typical holiday rush. The need will continue to be great.

When prices rise because *demand* is hot, wages usually follow. When prices rise because tariffs raise costs -- a *supply* shock -- there’s no reason paychecks catch up. That’s why tariff inflation hurts a whole heckuva lot more. It's a permanent reduction in living standards.

There’s a disturbing lack of outrage over ICE’s aggressive tackling and arrest of a non verbal autistic man in Chicago. Just like the lack of outrage over Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee who’s been held in solitary for months. Disabled lives matter too!

Disabled People are Being Mistreated in ICE Detention Facilities
Why is no one talking about it? Where's the media? Where's the public outcry? Another example of the pervasive nature of ableism and how society views disabled people as expendable.

Demanding doctors sign an attestation about providing abortion care and patient counseling or risk being removed from Oklahoma’s Medicaid threatens doctors’ privacy and patients’ access to care. It won’t improve patient care or safety, but it will hurt patients and doctors.

Jonathan is a preliminary surgery resident, so he needs to reapply to get another residency position, either Urology or Surgery. Residents don’t make much and he is asking for assistance. I think his chances this year are good if he can get to the interviews.
