Unfortunately I don't have the energy to put together some info for the mega this week, hopefully I can pull together something for next week though. 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.

    iirc maslow stole from indigenous people and the more direct descriptions of those original ideas seemed better as well.

      Not me, in the previous comment chain with the locked mega that you didn't see that led to this comment:

      But that's my style of conversation tbh and I'd feel pretty comfortable discussing the topic [of Maslow's Hierarchy]. It might be a different for others though, and maybe approaching it from a place of learning would suit them better, for example, than taking the approach of musing from a postcolonial critical perspective of Maslow's work would, you know what I mean? I can't tell you what an "authentic" way (cursed term) is for you but I'd encourage you to approach this sort of discussion in a way that feels right to you.
