Omar Souleyman, “Mawal Jamar”
(He did not bury me, he did not bury me)
The Supreme Court decision came through while I was running errands on Friday. I still haven’t quite processed the fact that when I left the house, I had full rights to decide when and if someone else uses my body, and when I returned, that decision was taken from me and given to men I have never met, some of whom died a hundred years or more before I was born.
I’ll regain some semblance of those rights upon my death, when it will be illegal to take my organs without my prior permission.
In the meantime, there will be a new chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door on Patreon tomorrow, and Journey to the Water will have a chapter up here on Wednesday. I’m working on the latest episode of The Well Below the Valley, and that will be on Patreon later this week.
Take care of yourselves. I’m glad you’re here.
