One key fact is that not everyone sees the same hits when they search for a hashtag - it's a matter of what posts have come to their instance. npub18h0yve8xyeqch0zs04gm0khqd6u03kdgmxclkgm3gdj4fe7t89lqmr0w6g Alley Stoughton There's a Boston Globe poll about whether the Massachusetts Legislature should pass the “End of Life Options Act” providing for Medical Aid in Dying aka Death with Dignity.
