Screenshot of text reads:

Grateful for the opportunity to have been in community with Alice personally and professionally, particularly over the last 5 years.

I’m glad she was able to tell her story more than once and in many mediums, something which so many are denied, especially at the end of life.

I’m glad she created platforms and opportunities for so many of us to share our disabled stories, our value, our continued and unabashed survival.

Her work was hardly done, and ours should continue for as long as it can.

This is text that was originally a Facebook post. It is too long to include in Twitter's alt text, I've linked to the original post in this thread — apologies.

Did you know?

For the audiobook version of this new anthology, I got to record two excellent essays, as part of a full cast of narrators.

(If you listen, can you figure out which essays I narrated?)

Twitter has largely united against this unfortunate and harmful rhetoric from one Black disabled scholar against another.

If anything, the original tweet brings new audiences to a still-relevant article by @VilissaThompson on the issue of police brutality and disability.
