Twitter (X) Just Checked In On Me

I never thought I’d have anything good to say about Elon Musk, but here we are

TW: Mentions suicide

I rolled my eyes as I caught sight of a new e-mail notification.

Here we go, I thought, Twitter is suspending me for my freedom of speech.

But on closer inspection, I saw that Twitter was actually checking in on me.

I have a Twitter account dedicated to decreasing the stigma of the childfree. Through this account, I build connections, alleviate loneliness, promote compassion to all and discuss community.

With all the recent discussions on an ageing population and the right-wing panic about low fertility rates, along with the barbed attack on non-parents with “just who is going to look after you when you are old” sort of comments, I had put out a Tweet about euthanasia.

I am pro-euthanasia. I appreciate it is an ethical minefield.

We have a right to life, and I believe we should have a right to death. Perhaps I will dedicate a story to this topic, but for now, I want to focus on the pleasant surprise of Twitter reaching out to me.
