Absolutely, & yay re your books. Cripspiration kills, literally in this case assistedlab.ch/visual/all-i... (TW traumatic #AssistedDying story, esp as it turned out Jennyfer Hatch didn't want to die. she wanted support www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...) #RIPJennyferHatch #AssistedLivingNotAssistedDying
The most shockingly dystopian story I've read is about a young woman with #EDS (same as me) who appeared in an advert for a clothes company TO SELL CLOTHES focussed on why she 'chose' MAID. Then it turned out she didn't. & she's dead. Aged 37. bsky.app/profile/barr... #RIPJennyferHatch #MAIDisMurder
Heard the one about the 37 year old woman with #EDS who didn't want to die & was killed by the government, but only after making an 'inspirational' advert for a fashion brand, selling clothes off the back of her death? It's no joke. It's #dystopia. It's happening now. #MAIDIsMurder #RIPJennyferHatch
Have you heard about this? Evil to a whole new level of evil - and sadly, far, far from an isolated incident: a disabled woman's death used to sell clothing. And she didn't want to die (same condition as I have. Over a decade younger than me). bsky.app/profile/barr... #MAIDisMurder #RIPJennyferHatch
"A disturbing report revealed that Canada euthanized 10,064 people in 2021 - an increase of 32.4% over 2020. Some people with #disabilities & mental Illness reported that they didn’t ask about #AssistedDeath but that it was proposed to them" #MAIDisMurder #DisabilitySky #Disability #RIPJennyferHatch
"Hatch isn’t the only person who felt they had no other choice than death in Canada. An Ontario man who was facing homelessness applied for assisted suicide but changed his mind following an outpouring of support and donations." #RIPJennyferHatch #CripCoop
"Hatch would have preferred to live and receive treatments that could help improve her quality of life, and therefore, the commercial was propaganda. It was meant to convince other #disabled individuals that they should seek out the “beauty” of assisted death." #RIPJennyferHatch
"The pro-euthanasia ad featuring Hatch called “All is Beauty,” glorified assisted death as “beautiful” But despite the common belief, assisted suicide offers no guarantee of a peaceful death. The drugs used in assisted suicide have been known to cause incredible pain and suffering" #RIPJennyferHatch
“I thought, ‘Goodness, I feel like I’m falling through the cracks so if I’m not able to access health care am I then able to access death care?’ And that’s what led me to look into medical assistance in dying (MAID) and I applied last year.” #RIPJennyferHatch
If ever there's a lesson to be learned, it's Pay Attention to Black Women (& minoritised communities in general: disabled people are canaries in the coalmine for how everyone will get treated if we don't resist. TL:DR: people are being killed NOW www.liveaction.org/news/woman-c...) #RIPJennyferHatch
