If you carry one thing with you today, let it be this: you are beautiful, you matter, and you are loved.

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.

@[email protected] The thread got locked before you got a response, just wanted you to know that I saw your comment and wanted to check in. Supporting someone who struggles with addiction like that can take such an emotional toll, especially when you're close and care about them deeply. Please know that you deserve to feel safe and secure with those around you and that your mental health and well-being are just as important. Hopefully you can get some rest, find some peace, and get to an end of that job hunt soon.

Welcome to c/disabled, an anticapitalist community for disabled people/people with disability(s).

What is disability justice? Disability justice is a framework of activism which centers disabled people of multiple intersections. Before participating in in this community, please read the Ten Principles of Disability Justice.

Do I count as disabled/a person with disability(s)? "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.

Follow the Rules:

This comm is open to everyone. However, the megathread is only open to people who self-identify as disabled/a person with disability(s). We center the experiences of disabled people here, and if you are abled we ask that you please respect that.
Follow the principles of disability justice, as outlined in the link above.
Zero tolerance for ableism. That includes lateral ableism. Ableism will result in a ban.
No COVID minimization.
Do not offer unsoliticed health advice. We do not want to hear about the wonders of exercise or meditation, thank you very much. Additionally, do not moralize health or "healthy choices".
If posting an image, please write an image description for our blind/low vision comrades. (If doing this is inaccessible to you, DM one of the mods and we will help.)
Please CW and spoiler tag discussions of ableism.
When it comes to identify-first vs person-first language, respect the language that people choose for themselves. If someone wants to be referred to as a disabled person, respect that. If someone wants to be referred to as a person with a disability, respect that.
Try to avoid using ableist language. It is always good to be mindful of the way language has been used to oppress and harm people.
Follow the Hexbear Code of Conduct.

Let's kick back and have fun!
