Today, we mourn the loss of Alice Wong, a trailblazer in every sense of the word. As the daughter of Hong Kong immigrants, a disability activist, and a fierce voice against colonialism, imperialism, and genocide, Alice gave voice to the interconnectedness of our collective liberation. 希望你一路走好。🤍🕯️

alice wong treated me as an equal from the moment she met me. i was a teenager with very little experience in the way of organizing; she was already a titan in this community. it didn't matter. she believed above all else that everyone, no matter how small, deserved to be treated as a future elder.

I’d say “mask up around people who are high risk” but since you can’t tell just by looking at people and because the majority of people fall into the high risk category . . . that simply means wear a mask around other people. 🤷‍♀️ (Do it for Alice Wong. Do it for Leslie Lee III.)

Alice Wong made an appearance in the book We are the Scrappy Ones, which is how my kids know who she is www.monsterasbooks.com/products/we-...

If no one in your timeline is grieving the loss of Alice Wong today then you’re not hearing from enough disabled people or even people who listen to disabled people. That’s a massive segment of society to which you will likely belong some day. Might want to turn an ear toward them sooner than later

Want to honour Alice Wong and her work? Keep in mind that intersectionality plays a big role in making disability harder for Black and Brown people!

Alice Wong, Presente. Thank you for everything.

It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column

it’s Filipino American History Month and as much as I don’t like commodifying culture in order for people outside the group to accept one’s existence food is always an easier means of introducing culture. Who knows of a halal pizza recipe with Filipino flavors? continued 1/?

ko-fi.com/mothergamer Filipino American HISTORY Month, I mess up the H, is October. pps in this current climate if I get any pos white people or ableist/eugenist fucks all of You are getting blocked. My friend’s husband almost DIED. DISABLED PEOPLE DESERVE TO LIVE.

Tell me when it gets better. That supervisor that has been ableist to Ron LIED about his machine production numbers and they "laid him off" which is crap. The HR lady said Ron can get unemployment which means they had no real reason to fire him. I'm just done. ko-fi.com/mothergamer

Fact of the matter is, if racism isn’t a non-negotiable for you, chances are you’re a racist too. It’s not people in the middle of a field with hoods that are the most dangerous. It’s the ones who say “yeah, I know he left a burning cross in your front yard, but he just loves spirited debate.”

This part.

People are currently getting fired and investigated for telling the truth about Charlie Kirk, and my main thought the whole time is “you’re actively putting more effort into not talking about gun control than gun control.” Pro-life has no actual interest in life, and we should state that plainly.

The hunger strike that broke a supermax prison. The powerful inside story of an improbable resistance movement. This week on Reveal.

Shitty news cycle? Hit da bricks! - go outside - make a song - buy a new instrument - declutter your house - donate stuff - do that long term maintenance task that doesn’t take that long but you’ve been putting it off because ughck

NEW: Sofi left behind her child in Mexico for the promise of providing him a better life. She ended up a victim of an operation that is alleged to have exploited the H-2A visa program — and the workers it brought to America. By @maxblau.bsky.social

I put feelers on twitter, BUT it is buried under Covid updates and Charlie Kirk so FILIPINOS IN THE DIASPORA I am on twitch and would love to costream for FAHM (including non FilAm) Vibe: • I don’t mourn racists and/or nazis. • No White Saviors • My Heritage isn’t Your Fetish. • Anti Fascism

In my senior year of high school in 2007, a classmate told me that racism doesn’t happen anymore. Fast forward almost 20 years later, and I saw a GIF of a whip in one of my comments sections. What I wouldn’t do to follow up with that old classmate now.

Ron's truck died when he was leaving work. He had to message his dad on Facebook and his dad is with him and he's going to be borrowing his dad's truck since we have no money to fix this. If this is a cosmic test from the universe, I don't think we're qualified. 🙃 ko-fi.com/mothergamer

VIDEO EXCLUSIVE: The progressive streaming icon Hasan Piker spoke with @juliametraux.bsky.social and @samveep.bsky.social about how to be “honest about the role that Charlie Kirk played.” "It’s a dishonest assessment to refuse to reckon with some of those opinions that he was very proud of." WATCH

The same system that legalized enslavement was never gonna be what freed anyone. I really hope that we all understand now that trying to cozy up to whiteness has never kept non-white people safe. Let me know when y’all get back from brunch and are actually ready to start fighting back.

Compromise is what you do when deciding what restaurant to eat at, not when it comes to choosing leaders that will fight for the most vulnerable. I will not compromise when it comes to the lives of trans people, homeless folks, and the like. Don’t ask me why I won’t settle. Ask why you will.

Here’s what I’m ultimately getting at. You will see some in this moment that will feel sorrow. And you will see some in this moment who will feel nothing. And you have to be okay with that. Check your privilege at the door. You don’t get to tell anyone how to feel about this right now.

Now is not the time for tone policing. Now is not a time you get to expect sorrow from people who’ve only experienced unrelenting violence and no such sorrow. Two things can be true at once. There’s conversations to be had about gun violence & about the consequences of playing with fire. (Cont.)

I saw someone say today “I don’t want to live in a country where our disputes are decided by bullets and blood”, and I fought every urge to ask what country they thought they’d been living in. Violence is how the US settles everything. We need to see that if we’re gonna do something different.

I think it’s interesting how it’s “political violence” when it’s a white supremacist but not when it’s hundreds of thousands of Sudanese or Palestinian people. But y’all are still fuzzy on why fascism happens? Pay attention. This is what you actually value.

“So what if he disagreed with you, he didn’t deserve to die” But he thought I did. This isn’t disagreement. It’s someone who was not only opposed to my existence but was called a good and faithful servant by the church for doing it. I don’t have to mourn that. And asking me to is violence too.

The conversation we’re not ready to have yet is that having empathy for a white supremacist is part of what upholds white supremacy. And by that measure alone, it fails to be empathy at all.

“Charlie Kirk was a father” So was Eric Garner. So was Philando Castile, who was shot and killed in front of his daughter. Being successful at procreating does not exempt you from being a white supremacist. This isn’t hard to understand. I feel like I’m going insane.

The church is currently asking for the lord to be with Charlie Kirk, but I remember many of them calling George Floyd a drug addict despite him being an active churchgoer. Y’all stay telling on yourselves.

Based on some of the discourse I’ve seen tonight, some of y’all would’ve felt empathy when Robert E. Lee died too. Some of you might’ve even applauded when slaveowners got reparations. Because racism isn’t real for you, you can push aside my humanity to empathize with those who want us dead.

The best way to honor Charlie’s memory is to continue his work: demean Black people and advocate for genocide in the name of Jesus.” -Gavin “The Fighter We Need” Newsom What are we doing here, y’all?

Also, possible hot take… Knowingly marrying a n*zi makes you a n*zi too. Knowingly marrying someone who said they’d make their ten year old daughter carry their r*pist’s baby to term makes you complicit in that harm too. I’m not saying she deserved loss. I’m saying that empathy has limits.

Again, as an adoptee, it makes me feel weird when people say “they’re better off.” No, they’re not. They have to live with this legacy. They have to do the work of shaking it off, if they even get that chance. He is gone but his ideas linger. The children are the only innocent ones here.

The fact that HBCU’s are being targeted right now despite initial reporting that Charlie Kirk’s shooter was white should tell you that people like me talking about Charlie Kirk ain’t the problem. We can never be polite enough. These people just want us dead. Respectability politics saves no one.

Y’all don’t hate white supremacy enough for me. You’ll befriend it, have beers with it, even call it a difference of opinion…you’ll do everything but eradicate it. White supremacy is not a stance. It is not a position. It is poison. And you’d rather be sick than keep your Black friends safe.

Man, there are so many Christians who don’t understand the difference between the pursuit of holiness and that of moral superiority. Spiritually bypassing other people’s reality because you’re uncomfortable is not wisdom. God called you to heal the sick & feed the poor, not to win the argument.

The thing a lot of white people are gonna have to come to terms with is that deep down, they’re reacting to Charlie Kirk this way and not the Palestinian because they see themselves more in the white supremacist than the Palestinian. Real talk, that doesn’t scare y’all enough.

In the last 24 hours, I’ve been called more names in my DM’s than I ever have in six years of doing this because I called a white supremacist a white supremacist. Hit dogs holler. A lot of y’all are more offended by being called racists than racism itself, and I really need you to sit with that.

Where do you think the cops took Tyler Robinson to eat after he was arrested? Burger King? Arby’s? Shake Shack? Oh sorry, I forgot, he killed a white man. They only treat murderers to fast food when they massacre Black people. I’ll rephrase: how quickly do you think he’ll be put on death row?
