Remembering activist Niki Massey (1980-2016). Niki "lived the kind of life that our media and our society like to pretend doesn’t exist; the life of a black, asexual, disabled woman." Her freethought blog, Seriously?!?, among many other things chronicled her disability and her service as a clinic escort.

Thank you for posting. I didn't know about Niki Massey, and I learned some things from the links in the FPP.

Thank you for posting this. I was going to get to meet Niki in person at Skepticon this year and am sad that I never will. Her loss has sent a wave of grief through the queer atheist world and she is already very, very missed.

Stephanie Zvan's remembrance:
"Yet I still feel like I need to say something here. I still want–need–to tell you about the bits of Niki that this much love and grief will try to file off. I need to keep her from being “sanitized” in the name of being worthy of it all. So this is who Niki Massey was."
