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 wish i could just have like 3 days with 0 social interaction or physical exertion...
First!!!!
I think I have too much on my plate regarding activities outside of work. Currently, I'm trying to get an app uploaded to the Play Store, I'm trying to finish a website for a group of friends, getting ready to revamp a website for our local NAACP(big deal), started working on a new volunteer FOSS app that is aiming at being a competitor/replacement for TikTok called Pebbler by a co called Astreth(I think I can advertise them now since they are working on scripts for just that), Food Not Bombs, and also a job.
But also also, I had a fairly successful inaugural meeting this past Saturday for my book club I'm doing to promote the new PSL branch that I'm starting in my city. We had 3 people show and there are 2 more that are interested and they are already comrades. Like they all were very much on the same page with the material. It was really kind of amazing. I had a small anxiety attack after so my evening was shot but I did it! I started something and it might actually take off. I really hope it does because we feel like can do a lot of good for this community.
