You will be missed. Fuck that passivity. I miss you. I never met you, but I read a lot of your blog posts, and you told me things I needed to hear, and I miss you. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/28/health/mel-baggs-dead.html?referringSource=articleShare
I’m kinda new to writing content warnings so I’m not sure I’m doing it right but here’s a try. Anyways, the article has a couple things some people might find disturbing or triggering, and Mel’s blog has tons of them, so maybe check in with yourself before clicking through:
cw for the above article: accusations of faking it and a nazi term (Mel Baggs’ blog, mentioned in the article, is named after a nazi term to call attention to persistent attitudes about disabled people and eugenics) cw for the blog itself: ableism, violence, child abuse, abuse of disabled people, institutional abuse, murder of disabled people by caregivers, probably some other things I’m not thinking of.
