Ok you crime-writing, horror-writing, amputators and/or butcher weirdos, I'm writing a scene in which a human hand gets removed from a corpse, & I'm looking for ways that can be done with a serrated knife by someone not particularly strong. Not having much luck searching for disarticulation. My google-fu is failing me. Any hints? #amputation #butcher #AmWritingHorror #WritingCommunity

"Figures show 73% of people with #learning #disabilities, 86% of those who had an #amputation, & 62% of #claimants with #cerebral #palsy were given fixed-term #awards - meaning they are required to undergo #reassessments every 3 years. This also applied to 89% of claimants with #multiple #sclerosis & 61% with Parkinson’s - conditions with little to no prospect of significant #improvement." This is all part of the ongoing #war against the #disabled in the #UK!

Ganz offensichtlich integriert sich die #Erasien-Landmasse (="#Kontinent"), ohne Erlaubnis aus #Übersee, zusehends.

Verzweifelte (und sau-teure) Versuche, doch noch einen Fuß in den schließenden #Türspalt zu kriegen, mißlingen derzeit zahlreich.

Schlimmer noch: Wo dieser Fuß noch drin steckt, erfährt er nun heftige Tritte, riskiert gar seine #Amputation.

Zu allegorisch? - Nun denn:

Den Regierungen der "nordwestlichen #Randgebiete" (D.Lessing) gehen Ideen und Mittel aus.
