It feels like terfs are winning, but they're not. We're winning, one brick at a time.

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday but both my dad and younger brother died just days before (β€˜03, β€˜09) so it’s also a time of sadness. Be kind to folks. Everyone has a backstory that you may know nothing about #holidays #sad #gentle #kind #family #love #cancersucks #crohns

Though I was born into a world without the ADA, by the time my disability made itself known, the ADA was there for me. I owe an insurmountable debt of gratitude to my disabled elders for their disability rights activism.
Alice Wong is one of those elders, and her memoir, YEAR OF THE TIGER, is a gift, a testimony to a disabled life well lived and ongoing.

YEAR OF THE TIGER by Alice Wong, read by Nancy Wu

An incredible memoir

Last year I wrote this op-ed for the Washington Post about the magic I have seen DNA work in this community and why I hoped more people would take advantage of it.

I'm thrilled beyond words that we have an actual pilot program rolling out. Really hoping others will step up to support our efforts and allow us to reach more people. https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/holocaust-jewish-genealogy-dna/2021/05/27/af8d21b8-be8d-11eb-b26e-53663e6be6ff_story.html

The Holocaust destroyed Jewish families. Genealogy can help rebuild them.

Records from before the Nazis are easier to find than many people realize

My new favorite thing about Mastodon:

You can label a content warning however you want. That is kind of amazing.

Good morning to everyone this morning, and this one is for my LGBTQ+ family.
We are creating a world where we are fluid, where we are compassionate, where we are open to new ideas and ways of building a better life.
We are building a society where our haters hatred, bigotry and biases have no place and that terrifies them and makes those who hate us envious.
We will never stop building that better world.πŸ’–πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈπŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ
