"Almost all the infrastructure we now use to find, access, and read books in virtual environments... has existed for two decades. So why are the vast majority of digitized books still inaccessible on the web?"
Monica Westin says it doesn't need to be this way.

One way I have found to mourn someone is to set up a monthly sustaining donation to a mutual aid effort they cared about. If you can join me in honoring Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social with a sustaining donation today, please do. Thank you Alice, and I will not let the bastards grind me down.
Alice in her own words: bsky.app/profile/thra...
Brave, funny, loving, shameless, compassionate, horny, and in solidarity with everyone fighting a good fight: Alice Wong was the example of how to live your life. Live it in such a way that people around the world gush about how much they loved you when you pass. Alice knew how to live!

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated
No one should have to face such threats.
It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

This picture says everything about the state of our nation right now, peaceful clergy being arrested and forced face-down on the pavement.
RIP Alice Wong, author, #HumanRights activist, disabled warrior and fierce with it! Farewell @sfdirewolf.bsky.social
😢
If you haven't heard of Alice Wong, here's an interview from earlier in 2025 on her receiving a 2024 MacArthur ‘genius’ award.

Trump demanded Texas and other red states redraw their congressional districts to rig the midterms in Republicans' favor.
California fought back by redrawing its map to balance out this power grab. Now, Trump’s DOJ is suing California.
The hypocrisy is endless.
Hey Megyn Kelly,
14-year-old Eloise would like a word:
“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”
Sound up! 🔥🔊

Black text on a yellow background - This is Alice's friend Sandy Ho, posting. Per Alice's wishes, this message is being shared at the time of her passing. Hi everyone, it looks like I ran out of time. I have so many dreams that I wanted to fulfill and plans to create new stories for you. There are a few in progress that might come to fruition in a few years if things work out. I did not ever imagine I would live to this age and end up a writer, editor, activist, and more. As a kid riddled with insecurity and internalized ableism, I could not see a path forward. It was thanks to friendships and some great teachers who believed in me that I was able to fight my way out of miserable situations into a place where I finally felt comfortable in my skin. We need more stories about us and our culture. You all, we all, deserve the everything and more in such a hostile, ableist environment. Our wisdom is incisive and unflinching. I'm honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.
“Don’t let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.”
The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP.
They have a contingency fund to ensure it’s covered in the event of a shutdown.
They’re refusing.
Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop.
Starvation as a policy choice.
Not what a ceasefire looks like.
On CBC: Elmo’s AI chatbot installed in Tesla car serves up NSFW content to kid, asking him to send it “nudes”.
FFS.
And we want these chatbots in our universities? They’re broken. So broken.

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.
This is tomorrow.
