My stance on MAID/euthanasia is that we should be prioritizing giving people the support they need to stay alive FIRST. Disabled people as a whole should be prioritized. Not the feelings of caretakers or able bodied people who say they'd rather die than be disabled.
OHHHHHH. This interview was actually held the day after the election and she was trying to tee up a question about queer people finding strength in the music to face the terrors of the new administration, but the stars responded so emotionally so fast that she got flustered, LOL.
REP. MCBRIDE: “I’d like my grace to contrast with the grandstanding… I never intended to use women’s multi-stall restrooms at the Capitol, all they had to do was ask… everything was fine until Republicans decided to manufacture a crisis for headlines…” https://t.co/rJ7TVHJglW
Every single Democratic elected official in the country should be talking like this and creating events to talk like this every single day for the next four years.

hey y'all, I'm not super active here these days anyway, but if there's any moots, etc that wanna keep up with future art from me, I'm on 💙🌅 !

Keep writing, painting, filming, dancing, singing…whatever the art form, do it. Grief is heavy and requires somatic movement to release/ease it. Art is always there for you/us and no one will ever be able to take that from you because you are art. You are poetry.
I do wanna add two things:
1) it's an immense privilege to have the option to stop working myself to the bone to survive, and I'm so thankful
(that being said, the process of applying for assistance & feeling like a burden to family is...for another comic 🙃)
