Ten years I ago I made a film about an am-dram theatre company battling to put on a pantomime against the odds - they had a tight deadline, next to no budget and a malfunctioning donkey costume. They made it magical - a Christmas miracle! I truly loved making this film vimeo.com/ondemand/panto

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Really excellent, considered guide to this issue. I am esp interested in mental health contexts, re: legitimate concerns over Canada situation, but also the striking benefit that simply having access to AD can have for terminally ill people, apparently acting as a form of palliative relief.

To protect me from prosecution, my husband, bedridden, in constant discomfort, his senses failing, ended his own life alone and unsupported. it's too late for him, but we can still make it possible for others to have a choice in how they die. I am campaigning for change on Friday.
