Today is Disability Day of Mourning.

Today we remember & honor all the disabled people murdered by their caregivers, their loved ones, & our society.

We have lost SO MANY in our community this year alone due to eugenics…

They deserve to be remembered.

We must stop more from joining their number.

But also: if you’re the writer, and people request content notes, it’s not an insult, it’s not asking for you to alter your process. It’s like honoring pronouns, or bringing a complete list of ingredients you used in your potluck casserole. It’s being a considerate provider. It’s simple kindness.

I'm not going to quote post because I don't want to dog pile.

But when people say, "don't heckle the staff," this isn't 2010.

We're not talking about normal people choosing normal govt staffing jobs.

This is 2026 where we're kidnapping foreign officials and building concentration camps.

I have my husband back!!

For safety, I hadn’t mentioned his coming and going dates, but he had to head back to the US. Now he’s back in Scotland! Percy will be overjoyed. He’s his best buddy.

It is very, very, very important that we do not allow "genocide" to become watered down into a superlative used for any state-sanctioned forcible action we disagree with. That is one term that absolutely must retain unique legal and rhetorical weight.

image of keanu reeves as john wick looking at a selection of handguns displayed on a wall. text says "me deciding which of my weapons to use against fascism." the guns on the wall are labeled debt, kind of funny, headaches, good speller, fork, unpublished novel, and can pull a quarter out of your ear.

Close up of a poofy black standard poodle holding a red Swedish fish stuffie in her mouth. Background is a slightly cluttered kitchen with a stainless steel stove, beige cabinetry and a leopard print rug in front of the obscured (by the poodle’s head) kitchen island. The fish is upside down so that the word β€œSWEDISH” is also upside down.

I gave her a Swedish Fish candy stuffie because I thought it would be cute and funny, and you know what it is

It’s almost like gender is a social construct and these fellas have been shut out of expressing themselves on that side of things.

Maybe they’re genderqueer. And maybe they’re not! Maybe they just want to feel pretty. Maybe they want to break barriers.

My new favorite thing is extremely jacked dudes cosplaying as scantily clad female characters.

I mean that sincerely. They always seem to beam. You go, girls.
