God it is SO FUCKING BORING and predictable when white men start yelling at women to shut up because their favourite misogynist is doing some anti-racism.

A curfew for the ones doing the shooting, right?
Right?

Replacing it would imply that she had one in the first place.

I tend to use a light fold-up stick these days unless I'm in a dark space (light up canes are lifesavers) so I can at least tuck it away in my bag but then there's the fear of someone seeing me getting it out of the bag, like I tend to do coming home from work when I'm out of sight of the office.

I want to get into photography so bad but I don't want to be limited only to my very good days when I don't need the stick. I want to be able to move however I need to without fear of harassment.

I also worry about people seeing me using the stick one day and then not the next. I'm lucky that I don't currently claim benefits but I have zero doubt that I would have been "dobbed in" by people in my area because of this. (I still firmly believe that malicious reports should be charged.)

I'm always scared of doing this anywhere public. I'm never far enough from my stick for someone to take it but I'll be bending or taking a step or two unaided and I've already had so much hassle just for being visibly disabled :(

Is it me or do they seem to particularly like shooting women?

As an aside, shooting someone then demanding that they move is the stupidest fucking thing I've seen in years.

I can't help but wonder how shooting an unarmed woman in the stomach ties up with their insane pro-fetus rhetoric.
After all, we're walking vessels, right?

It's actually funnier than the bloke I know who speaks extremely good French but does it with a broad Glaswegian accent.

Whatever happened to old PJW after he failed at politics?

It may have been a different bug. It was dark. I am not panicking. I don't have a massive phobia of bugs on my skin. Everything is fine.
