I’m doing this because I need to go on record in opposition to the wave of hostility against marginalized humans that this election has come to represent. I am multiply disabled, both physically and as an autistic who cannot navigate within modern society without debilitating struggle. I and those like me will be among the first to be ‘culled from the herd’ in the interest of unburdening the capitalist order of our unprofitable existence if the patterns of previous adventures in fascism hold true. This is for my life, and for the lives of my peers.

I’m a writer, illustrator and book designer. You can find me on Facebook way too much of the time. https://www.facebook.com/depackh
