@craig_groeschel I think you’ve mentioned listening to Death Panel? If not, Hayes and Kaba had a really entertaining duo interview when they went on for this book. https://www.deathpanel.net/transcripts/let-this-radicalize-you-mariame-kaba-kelly-hayes

We're being conditioned to accept mass death, as the price and the cost of doing business. We are in large part railing against this in our book. We're frogs in boiling water. And what has to happen is that some of us have to be saying, "Oh my god, we're frogs in boiling water. How the fuck do we get out of the boiling water?" And that is the work we're trying to talk about when we talk about reciprocal care, we are saying reciprocal care has to be at the center of getting us the fuck out of the boiling water.

"Beatrice speaks with Sunaura Taylor about how industrial pollution and systemic abandonment produce networks of disability among people, animals, and what she calls “injured landscapes;” how one community in Arizona organized against longstanding environmental pollution from arms manufacturing; and her new book, Disabled Ecologies: Lessons from a Wounded Desert."

@GeorgiaOnMyMind you’re thinking of an NPR article, which I also will not link. Instead, please enjoy Death Panel breaking it into tiny little pieces: https://soundcloud.com/deathpanel/on-nprs-wrestling-with-my-husbands-fear-of-getting-covid-again-unlocked

If anyone else reading this has gone the whole pandemic without getting your ears on these folks, I am so glad to finally share! #deathpanel #deathpanelpod

@nikink @zl2tod When you feel ready, one of the finest outlets still speaking sanely about COVID has a podcast episode about the legal journey of a worker in a similar situation in the US. Their Discord would also be useful to you.

Justice is elusive and usually shitty when it arrives, but I hope you encounter some.

"Alice Wong:

My main message is you are not alone but ableism, like white supremacy, is designed to pit us against each other to fight for the crumbs. We can build power, collaborate, and stir shit up because our cause is righteous and true. It is exhausting just to exist let alone defend our humanity every day. Honestly, I think what I went through last week brought me right to the breaking point. I have never felt so beaten down and defeated. It’s important to admit those dark scary thoughts and not gloss things over just to move on or put on a brave face. Lean into your rage, despair, and fear. Being honest with ourselves and others strips away the need to constantly perform and advocate. Remind yourself it never had to be this way and that all of us can resist in big and small ways. You are a goddamn oracle and your wisdom is a light that can show us the way forward. And we will not be erased no matter how hard these bastards try."

"any #woman who—for reasons of failing #health, circumstance,or simple bad luck—does not prove to be an adequate incubator deserves whatever she gets. Every unborn fetus is the priority over the pregnant person carrying it & must be carried to term at all costs.

So goes the moral calculus of the #DeathPanel judges who now determine how to weigh the competing interests between real, existing human #life & a state’s dogmatic fixation with a fetus"
