“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

My life's path would be so different now if I had never followed Alice Wong on Twitter years ago because she and I liked Star Trek. I learned so much from reading her tweets, articles, and books about disability justice. www.instagram.com/p/DREMDNBjnq...

Do people who are rude to others that they think were rude to them but it was an accident realize that they are the rudest person in this situation? They were rude on purpose.

Samidoon: Comics for a Free Palestine is back in limited stock! All funds go to the Palestine Red Crescent Society! Currently there are 20 regular physical editions, 20 phys/digital combo editions, and 4 of the bundle packs available. A fantastic anthology and one I'm glad to have orderable again!

My latest is the story of how my community has rallied to protect and defend our neighbors in recent days, as ICE has targeted the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. "This is not a story about a moment of victory, but a moment of being reminded of our power."

Just watched an awesome USA vs Italy women’s sitting volleyball game in the Sitting Volleyball World Cup! The best sitting volleyball game that i’ve seen so far.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

Today is the release day of Gazan physics student Wasim Said's memoir of life under the genocide. 🧪 You should grab a copy. #BookSky 1804books.com/products/wit...

Disabled people are particularly vulnerable to abuse under fascism. ICE has been neglecting the medical needs of detainees. One disabled immigrant, Rodney Taylor, needs our help. He's a double amputee who's been in the country since he was two years old. He's being held in solitary:

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.” Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!

A few months ago I pitched @lisatozzi.bsky.social a story about the revival of an ancient Hawaiian board game. She said just go and write it. Before the story was published today she was laid off — so thank you to Lisa for making this happen and everyone involved in the story except Mark Zuckerberg

Albert Jesús Rodríguez Parra was one of more than 230 Venezuelan immigrants the Trump administration sent to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador. After his release, he says he wants the world to know what happened to him. By @melissa-sanchez.bsky.social

Everything is really scary and chaotic for Trans individuals right now. Regardless of whatever lies and fear that is spread, we know that the world is better with Trans people in it. You are all worth fighting for, and we will continue to advocate for your rights and your safety.

"what is their obsession with trans people even about" cuz trans people are the free-est motherfuckers on earth! they don't want the rest of y'all getting any ideas about having control over your own fucking destiny!!

It is so damn obvious the trans sports issue is a drummed up nonsense moral panic masquerading as “common sense” - but if you look deeper for two seconds you see how the whole point of sex segregated sports is to defund women athletics & to build and propagandize the western idea of women as weak.

Jesus christ. It angers me deeply how not a single damn person in power who wants to at least pretend like they give a shit shout trans people will read even one damn book about the history of sex segregation in sports, cause you’d see how it’s all just sexist bs. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

I had a bad, emotional week but I’m finally watching a volleyball game and man, this is helping SO MUCH. There is something so satisfying about blocking tonight.

I want to push back against the sentiment that we live in terrible political times and we must exist as if we don't. Let me hold your hand gently when I say this: You don't have to keep it moving like the world isn't burning. You can meet the moment *and* do daily life. Let's talk about how. 🧵

I’ve spent a lot of my life studying other languages but I’ve never become fluent in any of them because I have terrible social anxiety. I’m sad about it but on the other hand is it worthwhile that such a socially anxious person is still always striving to learn how to communicate?

Palestinians are writing their stories, documenting both the horror of the war and the resilience of the people. Young people and Gaza elders are recording testimonies—narrating their stories for the world to read.

Breaking news: A federal judge is giving Florida 60 days to clear out the immigrant detention facility called Alligator Alcatraz. The ruling forbids state officials from moving any other migrants there.

NEW WRITING: "What will you stay curious about, even when authoritarians try to shape your reality by telling you not to think, not to read, not to ask questions, not to dare consider the possibility that there’s more to life than this?" 🧪

Y’all, if you misgender someone, the best course of action is to say excuse me and repeat the sentence, this time with the correct pronouns. Mini 🧵 on what to do if you misgender someone.

The other journalists killed: reporter Mohammed Qreiqeh, videographers Moamen Aliwa and Ibrahim Zaher and operator Mohammed Noufal. The Israeli murder of Palestinian journalists is always intentional, always met with silence. And that's why it keeps happening. don't look away

I finally watched the Haikyuu!! Dumpster Battle movie. The animation of the volleyball action, angles, and player perspectives was so cool! It was a beautiful piece of volleyball art. Also, I love watching Nekoma play so much.

This is a great time to remind your state legislatures and governors that Executive orders are NOT ACTUALLY LAWS and they should say NO to following them.
