Rest in Peace to Disability Rights Activist and Author Alice Wong (51,she/her)

I woke up today to find out that Alice Wong has past away as of November 14th at the age of 51. Not only was her work deeply impactful to the disabled community, but she was only just beginning to be a disabled elder - she was younger than my mother. She was brilliant, unabashed, and dreamed of an inclusive future. If you haven't yet, please go check out her books:

Her writing reshaped how I viewed my own body and mind, and encouraged my further reading on disability, community care, intersectionality and radical love. This is a devastating loss, and I wish her family and friends well as they mourn this amazing woman.

Is the person you’re shitting on using AI or are they just disabled?

My partner @jessequinones is autistic and has some learning disabilities that affect the way he speaks and writes, which, apparently, is making some people think the posts he’s writing are AI. I can confirm they’re not, we share an office space and I watched him write them myself. We’re also both vehemently anti-ai in general.

Look, I get it, we have to be vigilant about AI in our spaces, especially in the writing spaces, but please remember a lot of the “obvious AI writing tells” are also common in Autistic speech, and in the speech of people with learning/intellectual disabilities. AI is getting harder to spot, and a lot of these tells don’t even apply anymore, but that’s not stopping disabled people from getting accused, so please be mindful before you start claiming random people are using it.

Summary:

It's February. Pearl has been falling behind on her work since the start of the year. All her continued failures weigh over her like a shadow until she feels undeserving of the slightest thing. Guilty.

Cleo tries to help, but neither really know how to fix this. It all adds up into one bad night.

Or; Pearl’s self-worth is reliant on her productivity, so what happens when she gets seasonal depression and just… can’t.

Hope yall enjoy! :3 tell me if it’s any good!

Disabled Jayce (+ Viktor) HCs since no one else has done this:

-His leg healed wrong so he has constant pain

-Usually it’s not super bad but can flare up when he walks/does something physical too much

-Leg brace is enough some days but some days he needs a cane to help him

-Viktor shows him the best ways to talk care of his chronic pain

-They both have the weirdest sleeping positions

-If he’s working in the lab he’ll sometimes use a knee scooter (i imagine he built it) if he’s standing up for too long

-Now that he has to be out of the lab more so he can rest his leg, he takes up drawing more to keep his hands busy

-Used to make sure Viktor took care of himself, now they both make sure they take care of each other (aka both use their bad legs to guilt each other into taking breaks LOL)

-Has PTSD and panic attacks from his time in the cave, usually triggered by flare-ups

-Baths are his new favorite thing

-Struggles with his own internalized ableism now, but he doesn’t know how to cope with loving Viktor for everything he is while he has issues him own disability

-Viktor helps him see that he can miss being able-bodied while also loving Viktor

-Sometimes Jayce will doodle on Viktor’s leg when he’s resting

-Loves cooking for himself and Viktor as a means if self-care

-Viktor now understands why Jayce wanted to do everything to help Viktor with his illness because he wants to do the same w/ Jayce

-Help each other work on their respective mobility aids
