Disabled people tried to warn you. We were one of the first groups targeted by the Nazis. Fascists will always come for the “useless eaters”. They want to institutionalize us. Hide us away from the rest of society. Remove our supports so we either die or disappear. It’s eugenics.

Men: “Jane Doe is lying! That’s why the Cornell 7 weren’t charged! Won’t you think of the reputations of the rapists?” Reality: Cornell lied. Not Jane Doe. They withheld crucial details of her story when they gave the information to police and prosecutors. They protected the men:

Statement Written by Police in Cornell Assault Case Omitted Her Claim She Was Raped
Documents obtained by The New York Times show that the campus police at Cornell University sent a condensed statement to a prosecutor, who then declined to bring charges.

Autumn has always been my favourite season, but this year it's something I won't celebrate. I've lost my entire family. I've lost many people I though were my friends who showed their real selves. I feel like a ghost.

And here's the poem I wrote her in 2009, before I knew she was pregnant, as our friends and I prepared to save her from an abusive partner. #Poetry

Signing off for a while. The funeral is next weekend. I'd love to see you all wear yellow for Dani on the 26th, it's her favourite colour, as a sign of your love. Here are both parts of the tribute I've written her so far:

And lastly, what happened to my fiancée Dani was a homicide and there still hasn’t been a single arrest; those sons of bitches are still out there.

Since I'm venting my traumas: After my sister was killed in 2004 in a car wreck, priests at the school we attended told me that my shoulder, hip, and knee injuries were my "penance" for not protecting her. I wasn't driving, but they insisted that this was my punishment in the eyes of God.

I was a high school freshman, and a friend of mine in that class was Muslim. That school did everything they could to make his life miserable from 9/12 onward, and they eventually expelled him junior year on BS.

Dani in the college recording studio in the mid-2000s. That is one state of the art Mac there.

Other favourite pictures of Danielle from a few years ago when she started a non-profit to help children in need and had to get a headshot for her website and social pages. Love you.
Danielle with her brown hair loose and draped over her left shoulder. She's wearing a grey shirt that says "Avalon New Jersey," her favourite vacation spot. She added a sparkle filter.Danielle with her hair loose and draped over her left shoulder in a white shirt and under a warm light.

In contrast, I joked with Dani about having a Monarch themed wedding. The Monarch from Venture Brothers. I'd be The Monarch, she'd be Dr. Girlfriend, her daughter a Murderous Moppet, and all our friends butterfly henchmen. We'd have a cocoon cake. Don't know if this would have flown.

A favourite story about my sister: She insisted that when she got married that she would wear a red dress ("no f**king way I'm wearing white!") and that she walk down the aisle to "Gimmie All Your Lovin'" by ZZ Top. I was to dress as Dusty Hill for it.
