I was a big supporter of assisted dying until quite recently. While I still support it, the lack of safeguards politicians seem to think are important is truly disturbing. The Assisted Dying Bill in the UK for example has turned from a potential positive into a truly concerning piece of legislation.
Disabled people tried to warn you
We pleaded you to see the eugenics of the “let it rip” strategy & the rise of Assisted Dying policies
A death with dignity can’t be provided when there’s no guarantee of life with dignity
In Canada, you can get MAiD in less time than it takes to see a specialist

what helped Magica Riot spread was tremendous word of mouth. I’ll need that help again to make sure Full Bloom gets as far as it can. I don’t have professional marketing or even an ad budget, so every bit of help y’all can give to spread the good word of queer PDX magical girls is appreciated 🥹

The feeling of knowing an album inside out, anticipating the first notes of the next song, its an incredible satisfaction that lives deep in my gut.
I’m having this vivid sense memory right now of being 16 & listening to my cd player with a friend on the bus, sharing wired headphones.

ICE once again attacking the most vulnerable.
They sent an entire squad of agents to arrest a disabled blind man named Quinn Haberl.
They took his cane and dragged him off by his feet.
His head was perilously close to the pavement.

Beyond all reason
Long COVID patients are constantly harangued about our requests for COVID safety. Yet what we're asking for is far less than what we're called on to do to survive.

It is absurd that healthcare is allowing anyone to be infected with Covid while trying to receive care, mAb infusion, get a vaccine, etc.

Masking EVERYWHERE INDOORS that isn’t your home is an act of resistance.
No one is coming to save us. We need to save each other by masking, getting vaxxed, and advocating for clean air
1 way masking is great, but 2 way masking (when EVERYONE PRESENT is masking) is best.

Wear a face mask when you go out in public- if for no other reason than knowing that they want you too sick, too exhausted and too burned out from dealing with back to back respiratory infections to speak up for yourself & your community. You deserve to protect your health.
