Didn’t set out to make Covid Year Six our longest yet but then again it’s not every year all your mortal enemies—people who’ve been subjects of the podcast’s ire for nearly its entire run—all get drafted into the government at once to take a sledgehammer to anything they can find

OH BABY

It’s here, our end of year analysis for 2025, early access for patrons 🖤

I can't believe we're about enter the 7th year of Covid. I'm so tired of trying so hard not to get sick amidst a collapsing health care system and so much medical misinformation

In our latest, we look back at 2025, a year where normalization slipped into naturalization, as a cadre of villains who rose to prominence on the back of covid denial took the reins of the federal government to play out their revenge fantasies. It’s Covid Year Six. www.patreon.com/posts/145947...

Reminded of when Jules Gill-Peterson & Charlie Markbreiter dragged NYT Mag to hell and back on @deathpanel.bsky.social "Allowing Emily Bazelon to write the Infinite Jest of TERF lit was a deliberate decision, right?… the numbing length of this article allows the contradictions to be sanded over…"

It's hard to believe they've made nearly 500 shows. highly recommend #podcast

May her memory be for a revolution. May it deepen our commitments. May her example sharpen our politics. May her life remind us that disability justice is a practice of transforming the world through collective care, accountability, creativity, defiance and imagination.

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

Losing Alice feels like the ground shifting beneath us—I'm devastated—but to have known & shared even part of this life with her was an honor. She was one of the most fearless, generous & visionary disability activists. It’s impossible to measure how much she shifted the world—I feel it everywhere.
