Hello disabled comrades! This week, I am feeling very relieved for the ceasefire in Gaza and the release of Palestinian hostages. I hope we are all doing okay. If you’re just surviving, barely making it through — I see you and I’m proud of you; and I hope this week brings you a little joy.
As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:
“Disability” is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.
Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.

: “Do you hate ‘useless eaters’?”
: “Yep”: “And you are a job creator, right?”: “Yep.”: “I am unemployed and want a job, hiring me will make me productive and no longer a useless eater. And if that’s the case then if you put me to work, I’ll contribute to society and have an income, and I will no longer be a useless eater. The thing you hate.”: “That makes sense to me.”: “Then hire me.”: “No!”
