Non-disabled people do not expect anger. Loneliness, gratitude, and a quiet resilience are the emotions we are allowed to express. However, as Wong shared, in many tweets, blog posts, essays, and talks, “f— that s—!”
An activist’s life is never a singularity, and Alice Wong’s legacy is everlasting. The GoFundMe page that was originally created to help with Wong’s medical expenses is now raising funds to continue her work.
In the worlds she has helped forge, there might be some cyborg-esque contraption for the disabled oracles of past, present, and future to see the care webs and ruckuses, the love and anger we nurture in their wake. I have learned from Wong that to be angry is to be unapologetically angry. Let it move us forward, metamorphose into or lay beside limitless love. In her words, “Just hang in there, keep reading, and stay angry.”
