“Though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of time. But if she could have looked a little further back… she would have known that when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor’s stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backward.” - Aslan, C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

WE MOVED HERE TO SOCIALISE. YOU MADE US SICK.

πŸ’¬ FROM THE RECORD (AND STILL NOT READ):

“We felt isolated in Turks and Caicos and came here because we love the people and socialising…”
“…however people here don’t like that we have asthma.”
“It’s like you are all angry at us for having asthma. Period. That’s how we feel.”
(But we feel better now that you are all helping.)

How British.
The nation that prides itself on queues, etiquette, and empathy—
couldn’t stomach a child with a nebuliser.


πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ A VERY BRITISH IRONY:

We left the tropics for community.
Instead, we found shame with side-eye.
Here, you’re punished not for speaking too loudly—
but for breathing too audibly.

Asthma became our accent.
And you made it foreign.


🧠 ACCESS STATEMENT (REPEATED IN EVERY EMAIL, IGNORED IN EVERY ROOM):

“I suffer from a disability which makes speaking verbally difficult.
I prefer to communicate telepathically to minimise respiratory strain; however, email is fine.”

But in Westminster’s elite social script:

– Inhalers are uncouth
– Telepathy is impolite
– Email is invisible
– And asthma is a personal offence

We asked for community.
You offered performance notes.

I Prefer Telepathy, But Email Will Suffice.



πŸ–‹ SWANK Dispatch | 14 December 2024
I DON’T EMAIL FOR FUN. I EMAIL BECAUSE YOU REFUSE TO READ.
Also Titled: “I Prefer Telepathy, But Email Will Suffice.”

πŸ“£ IN CASE YOU “MISSED IT” AGAIN (AND AGAIN):

“I’ve been emailing you all asking for advice about the problem for a whole year and have received zero advice.”
“My lawyers told me to contact them for advice but put my emails in a separate folder so I can’t reach them.”
“Why would you just ignore my emails and assume they are meaningless?”
“My ability to talk is getting worse because no one will read my emails.”
“If you don’t understand the problem, you can’t help me.”

You didn’t lose the message.
You categorised it into oblivion.


🧠 ACCESS STATEMENT (WHICH YOU PREFER TO GHOST):

“I suffer from a disability which makes speaking verbally difficult.
I prefer to communicate telepathically to minimise respiratory strain; however, email is fine.”

This is a medical necessity.
Not a lifestyle choice. Not a whim.
And certainly not a reason to route me into “Folder: Do Not Open.”


πŸ“Ž TRANSLATED FOR THE NON-TELEPATHIC:

  • Email is not excessive.

  • Silence is not defiance.

  • Non-verbal communication is not non-compliance.

  • And “no response” is not an ethical stance. It’s cowardice.


πŸ›‘ LITIGATION-READY CLOSURE:

I write because speech harms me.
I persist because you disappeared.
If you do not comprehend this by now, it's not due to complexity.
It’s due to contempt.
