I’m tapped out of this convo cause the cycle is that we tell you so (like I wrote in 2015 when they were described as our benevolent saviors from an evil machine god), these fraudsters are positioned as “innovators” and us as naysayers, “analysts” inflate stock markets, and here

I have been contacted by disabled people and their families, carers & supporters in various ways, reinforcing support for my decision to reject an MBE because they agree: disabled people are suffering and political choices by @UKGov have caused this.

Spain sees a risk and acts accordingly. The UK? "Please don't come to hospital.."
Breaking: Spain brings masks back. Mandatory in hospitals, primary care, and long-term care—for patients, visitors, and staff. Strong recommendation everywhere else. Public health moving where evidence points. Note: Really worth upgrading to respirators. https://t.co/vzNFmJ139n

To honor Alice—and all our disability ancestors—is to keep building that connective tissue she described. To love fiercely, politically, on purpose. To ensure the filaments they left behind continue to glow in us, and through us, long after the world has forgotten. We won’t.

In disability communities, grief isn’t episodic. It’s cumulative. It layers. It reverberates. We lose people who should’ve had decades more time—because the world is engineered to wear us down. Yet, in that same world, disabled people keep building life with one another anyway.

Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collective survival. She named the connective tissue that holds us together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast & often.

Women with heart disease are more likely than men to be underdiagnosed, undertreated, and under-represented in research trials. This persistent gender gap is more than a clinical shortcoming; it is a deeper structural failure in health policy https://t.co/XgzARNvxFg

for this to be alice's final post before dying is even more heartbreaking💜
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.
