Hello disables comrades! I hope things are going well.
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.
Another awful thing is when people leave messages in the thread saying they're going to help, and then don't follow through. And I wonder if this is why some of the other people don't follow through. Maybe they make an offer, then see someone else in the thread make an offer and think "Oh this person has been helped now, I needn't bother." And then neither end up following through, and other people who might have helped see the message offering help and think they won't bother now.
All the social cred of being a good person, with none of the work!
I always assume the person still needs help unless the post has been edited to indicate otherwise, but we're all built different I guess
