HEY! Been too long since I've done this: *** Go get a free PDF of anything Stanchion has ever published. Use code FREEPDF *** [scroll way down in the shop to find all the books & magazine issues as PDFs] Then please come back here to tell me which book or issue you've chosen!

i don't talk a lot about my own disability/ies here because i don't owe anyone their violent origins, but i am amazed how many people think disability is rare or niche. have you never met a baby? do your people die exclusively by accident at 35? are you impervious to illness? my god, look around.

the sooner people get good with the idea that disability and illness are coming for all of us, the sooner we'll get change. capitalism is disabling. bigotry is disabling. borders are disabling. if you're not disabled, give it a minute. you too will grow old.

It's not appropriate for cis people to say that trans people are too alarmed, or that certain trans writers are irresponsibly causing trans people to think the sky is falling. I want to take some time in this 🧵 to write personally about how my skies have fallen.

the shot day existential dread is all too real. use it or save it? maybe stretch it to eight days? maybe nine? how much is in the reserve? how long until we're forced into the stash?
