@beingcharis.bsky.socialAlice Wong was one of the most effective people challenging the Whiteness of disability communities and its many flaws, but who believed fiercely in us as a community, in disabled people as oracles. Alice brought so much to so many of us, it’s hard to measure the kind of gratitude I have for that.

Show Post‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’ —Alice Wong
Show PostGiving people things they don't actually need but things you believe they need can sometimes be worse than doing nothing at all. One way to start helping is to ask what they're really struggling with, what might make it less of a struggle, and give them time to think about it.
