Instead of telling a disabled person what they should or shouldn’t be able to do… ask them how you could help them accomplish what they need.
Listen to their struggles. Approach the situation with compassion.
Offer genuine support.
That’s the best way to be an ally.

1. Large language models like ChatGPT are statistically likely word generators; they don't have "expertise" in anything.
2. I have seen a team of PhD level experts fail to assemble a dresser from IKEA.

I have strung this series out for yeeears because I didn't want it to end. I began around 2012. It feels so much more final when both the author and the reader have passed on. I'm starting the final book. Raise a glass to L.A. Meyer and K. Kellgren, for bringing Jacky Faber to life. #BloodyJack

Two friends of mine are literally moving to Canada. Because they can. But most of us are stuck with our choices.

Thanks to my friend Harriet for pointing out that the women went to Christ's tomb and saw he was not there, the angels showed up to describe what happened, & the women then told the apostles, who dismissed them. A Biblical account of women not being believed.
