OH YEAH! I don’t necessarily consider contacting someone’s employer an act of violence if that person is a public figure and said contact is reasonably related to their employment as a public figure. But it definitely can become violent (e.g., what Amanda Palmer unleashed upon Laura Snapes). 6/n

So today's feature was this masterwork of a necklace, and old-style collar necklace in sterling silver, royal lapis lazuli, and Fox turquoise [plus the beads], called "Buffalo Sky": wingssilverwork.com/buffalo-sky-....

So let's do three cuffs that match it.

For the record, both Red & Blue versions of this country want me dead and are actively working toward that goal, although the Red version has people cheering for my death while the Blue version has people making excuses for why I'm an aceptable loss. These should not be the only "viable" options.

Some (but not all*) of the major concerns to Disabled people can be seen at Defeat Project 2025. The reality is that Disabled people are a hugely diverse group, so issues that aren't specifically considered about Disability will still affect at least some of us.

I'm not kidding. Chapter 14 of Project 2025 (see: "Agenda 47") is the part of their plan where they'd cut back medical services to the point where every poor sick & disabled person will, quite simply, not be able to afford to stay alive. This could be your grandmother, your uncle, your cousin. You.

Because, again: Disability is the only minority anyone can join at any time, & which everyone will join, if they're lucky enough to live that long. A disease, a quirk of genetics, a bus, a bad fall from a curb. Anything. And the only thing we have that could consistently make this fact survivable…

But if I’m right—if the silence from creators is due in part to pressure from Gaiman’s legal team, then the list of folks said team *didn’t* contact is damning as all get-out. The shittiness. The shittiness. 4/n

If this hypothesis is correct, that means the creators who have spoken up so far—a list that, in its entirety, currently reads “Nalo Hopkinson”—are people that said legal team *may not have deemed important enough to contact.* Which means my vocal cords are gonna take a beating while I scream. 2/n

Hey! Remember Republicans saying "Obamacare will make death panels to kill your grandma!"? Then you should probably go check out chapter 14 of the Project 2025 manifesto. Because every Conservative/Republican accusation is a confession.
