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.
I went to check the thread (and modlog) out of morbid curiosity, and I still don’t get why certain posters almost imploded bc of your very kind and frankly, simply correct comment.
It’s ridiculous how aggressive some people get about a hint “Hey, what you said is ableist, please take that into consideration and don’t do it again”, to which they could just apologize.
I get wanting to delete the account here. This shit is depressing. Just know there’s people here who appreciate you calling that person out.
