ICYMI, the Final Destination dude has announced his adaptation of my Bloody Mary novel. This gets funnier when you consider I signed the release papers 3 weeks ago then found out it was a done deal when a bookseller said GRATS to me on Friday and I had no clue I'd been on Deadline two days before.

Welp. Surprise? My book's film has been announced. deadline.com/2024/07/bloo...

‘Final Destination’s Jeffrey Reddick Partnering With Producer Todd Slater On ‘Bloody Mary: Origins’deadline.com A 'Bloody Mary: Origins' movie from 'Final Destination's Jeffrey Reddick and veteran producer Todd Slater is in the works, Deadline can reveal.

Here's a book a disabled person wrote. You may not find it on the reading lists available to abled people who consider our liberation a theme of their monthly content. Its supernaturalism is deeply tied to my experiences in madness. You can support it from @knilirabaj.bsky.social 's bookstore here.

You should listen to the mad on madness, & the disabled on disability, not those who take it upon themselves to speak for us.

The only thing I saw people saying was “what are the actual statements from the actual people involved?” I still don’t understand why seeking out the victims’ stories is somehow troublesome.

Biden shot himself in the foot during the debate. But he keeps reloading the gun and trying to hit his ankle.

The point I don't see very many people talking about is that this is 2016 all over again. It's not that the candidate has a glaring weak spot in the campaign, it's that they're not doing anything to address that weakness. It's like Hillary not going to Michigan, but bigger and worse.

America be like, the carceral system? That's for poor Black people, not billionaire white men who used to be the president. That's the single reason Trump's not in jail. He didn't get charges for trying to overthrow the government, which warranted it, but he has charges now.

another thing the “just move out of your red state” people don’t get is how disabled people like me—who depend upon care from a team of medical specialists—can’t “just move” finding good doctors, therapists, primary care, etc. is not easy, fast or cheap

It's eight PM on the US west coast, and here in Chico it's ONE HUNDRED AND FIVE FUCKING DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. I feel like calling the manager but it would probably just go to voicemail since it's after hours.

they're worried about downticket races, but I really wouldn't underestimate how much they genuinely, genuinely are terrified of what a Trump admin would be, and feel like Biden and his bubble of senior aides fundamentally don't get it and/or aren't capable of running a campaign up to defeating it

You don't have to feel hopeless if America doesn't exist anymore all. All empires fall. That's what happens, & that's what geopolitical conditions have produced for this stage in America's history. That doesn't mean you won't be ok or that you won't exist. It just means you need survival tools.

When we talk about harms of ableism, this is one of the things we mean. People use terms like "hurt feelings" and "offended" and that's not it. It's the way the attitudes represented and reinforced by the imagery and/or language choices turn up in behaviors and policies.

I would not have regained my ability to walk and do activities of daily living (most of the time) after a traumatic injury, without a walker. It was really frustrating how a number of members of my care team were actually hostile about it despite the difference it made for me

This is 100% true and also it is not the way that history and social studies are taught to USian students. So this is not something that most people think or understand.

For most of its history, America hasn’t been a democracy, by any meaningful definition of the term! This isn’t some It Can’t Happen Here shit, in a way, it’s already happened. It just may not have directly affected you.
