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!

Kid just threw his sippy cup at the tv and broke it and now I'm having a really hard time regulating because it was really fucking expensive and we can't afford a new one because I need to get my teeth fixed and get my car fixed and get my car fixed again. I'm having a really fucking hard time about it.
Can you get a shite 720p stopgap used?
I've been shopping around. The thing is that I have a soundbar and sub that is specific to this brand and, to the best of my knowledge only works with Roku. So I'm trying to find a TCL Roku specific TV. They have some on FB marketplace for $150-200 but Walmart is selling basically the same model for $360 right now.
Hy partner's bougie ass parents that were able to retire like to throw their money around sometimes and said they might get us one for our upcoming anniversary. If that is the route we go, I'm gonna try to milk them for a nicer one.
I don't suppose the tv just went dark did it? is the lcd panel itself cracked and bleeding or is it just flickering or dark?
It's bleeding. The right side is almost all black with the red, green, and blue lines, then vertically where he hit it, it's got another thinner black bar and bottom half has lines going across. It's fucked for sure.
Boo, id hoped to share my victory experience replacing my borked backlights on my tcl tv. Sorry friend
