When my Aunt Joyce died very early in the pandemic, I did not have space to properly grieve. Nearly three years later, I'm grateful to @LateralJournal and co-editors Theodora Danylevich and Alyson Patsavas for giving this piece--these memories--a home.

What Alice Wong did for disabled storytelling was unmatched. She tapped into social media and alternate forms of narrative in ways that enabled marginalized community members to connect and reframed the lived experience of disability for the mainstream. Iโm so grateful for her โฅ๏ธ

ALT Yellow background with black text reads "Alice Wong passed away on Friday, November 14th at UCSF Hospital due to an infection. She was 51 years old. Alice lived in San Francisco and grew up in Indiana. Alice was the daughter to Henry and Bobby. The elder sister to Emily and Grace. The cat mom to Bert and Ernie, and a dear friend to many. She will be remembered as being a fierce luminary in disability justice, a brilliant writer, editor and community organizer. Her work can be found at Disability Visibility Project. As we mourn the incomprehensible loss of Alice, we share the words she gifted us with from her memoir, Year of the Tiger. โThe real gift any person can give is a web of connective tissue. If we love fiercely, our ancestors live among and speak to us through these incandescent filaments glowing from the warmth of memories.โ We would like to invite her friends, community, and her many fans to contribute to Aliceโs GoFundMe to continue the legacy of her work.

Trash news about Teen Vogue. Some of the best political coverage in the US now gone.
3 Nov 2025
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers on other sections, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

The myth of polio? Sir, my mother and aunt contracted polio at 5 & 7. Their parents watched behind glass while doctors tried to will their bodies to be mobile again. They experienced nerve damage and paralysis. My aunt is dead due to post-polio and my mother is in constant pain.

I am ENRAGED. This administration and these influencers will be the death of us all, these sensationalist liars. Get a spinal tap at five when you cant move below your chin and you TELL ME polio is a lie. Watch your child breathe in an iron lung. Then tell me, I dare you.

New: Rubio confirmed he revoked the visa of the Tufts student and said he likely has revoked the visas of hundreds more. โWe do it every day. Every time I find one of these lunatics, I take way their visas." The total # of revoked visas โmight be more than 300 at this point"

Students who call out genocide are not welcome on campus, disabled students are not welcome on campus, union leaders are not welcome on campus...but the FBI and NYPD? THEY are VERY welcome on campus.

Meanwhile this is from an email we received from President Laura Rosenbury of @BarnardCollege two days ago. Masked kidnappers can disappear our friends and the university has nothing to say, while students are banned from masking.

Rumeysa was kidnapped in plain sight & sent to Louisiana to be locked in the same detention center Mahmoud Khalil was sent to.
She's a peaceful protestor, grad student, & my constituent who has a right to free speech & due process.
Now she's a political prisoner. Free her now.

Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk was detained by ICE.
A video shared with GBH News shows a man in a hoodie approach her, then grab her wrists. Ozturk screams, then asks โCan I call the police?โ before being told โWeโre the police.โ

1/ If you teach or work at @Columbia you should be striking, refusing/withdrawing your labor, marching, screaming, protesting, & doing everything you can to get Mahmoud Khalil released & sent home. We need you putting your body on the line now.

Where are Columbia faculty? All those who hide behind anonymous letters of โsolidarityโ with students? Your students have been arrested, expelled and now having their permanent residency revoked - what are you doing? What are well-positioned, wealthy sympathetic alumni doing?
