Action the Intent, not the Words

I'm not sure if I fit the standard template of a Leftist but I personally believe that it is the duty of the strong to stand up for the weak.

I found myself in a situation (minor real-world radius) to consider if accessibility or union attendance was more important. Here is my response:

I don't have a perfect idea of attendance right now, but it will be a learning curve. Realistically, for the 22nd it will be about 140 people, declining from there. We can work around anomalies and if people have to sit on the floor we can accommodate.

I have to make a call. We want to maximise attendance but not exclude any groups. If 200 people in wheelchairs turn up on the 22nd, we will make sure you are heard.

Sometimes I fear that inclusivity is weaponized against the left. Do you think I made the right call?

The known world is a vast archipelago, tall volcanic islands are the only sanctuary from a vast brackish ocean. The land is dying, the sea is hypersaline - slack, windless, drained of love and life by the merciless Sorcerer Kings that plough the world of it's magic.

Small ships still ferry weary passengers between the attols, searching for the scarce amounts of drinkable water. The great warships are, of course, owned by the Oligarchs - powered by magical engines that can cross the flat water in a few hours.

The common folk such as you must charter tiny barges pulled by a pair of ...
