Disabled & chronically ill writer. Former theatre critic. Passionate about disability rights, clean air, masks and covid caution. Clean air is a human right & masks work. I write about the experience of being highly vulnerable during a pandemic, isolation, loss of healthcare and euthanasia. My focus is on how we can find support, fight back & create better systems and safety nets everyone. #CovidisAirborne #Disability #Pandemic #MasksWork #CleanAir #Ableism #ChronicIllness #CovidIsNotOver

I’ve had a huge health setback following my move.
My level of function is half what it was before.
The hospital said they would connect me with “resources” to assist with activities of daily living.
There’s a 1.5 year wait list.
MAiD was offered in under a month.
I don’t want to die.
I don’t want to allow the government to euthanize me.
But this is eugenics I’m always talking about.
I need assistance to survive. Help with cooking & cleaning.
The supports don’t exist unless you have a ton of money.
When you try and push your body to do it yourself, you get worse.
If you end up in hospital, they suggest assisted dying.
Am I “free” to say no? Of course.
Does it feel that way when nothing else is being offered?
Not at all.
I’m being denied the support to live while “offered” death.
That’s coercion.
It’s eugenics.
The system has decided I’m not worth saving.
I’m not alone in this.
Disabled people urgently need allies and support in this fight.
And I need some home care.

This is utterly horrific.
Falconer and Leadbetter provide some reasons why a person "might want to apply for an assisted death".
"Poors! We're not going to make your life better, but we'll make sure you die quickly if you ask nicely."
If you're still voting for, excusing, or pretending out loud that Labour are any better than Tories or Reform, then cop the fuck on.
