Well deserved! @igrantubc ! "Much of her scholarship has focused on issues of male violence against women and girls, with a focus on homicide and sexual assault and, most recently, the intersection of ableism and sexism in criminal law." https://t.co/BX0PKT7KSs

Timely @bmj_latest as 🇨🇦2023 data even worse, w/~half disabled euthanised by T2 #MAiD citing loneliness & feeling a burden fueling their state provided suicides. Shows apologist rationalizations=eugenics, & is it 'dying w/dignity' or 'social murder'? https://t.co/ap7W1S8QCW
