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!

i do not like that unemployment has become a meme thing to make fun of people for lately
I want to think that it’s children doing this and they are yet to discover the truth about jobs.
My alternative is usually “go outside”. despite porky’s wishes, I don’t need to be a nepo baby to go outside just yet.
ya, "go outside" or "log off" are the same kinda idea but without punching down at ppl. but ppl like punching down at ppl so ig i shouldn't be surprised.
It sucks to see people 'punching down' like that, even in memes
where? i ain't seen it but i admit i deliberately avoid most media social n otherwise
i see it pretty much everywhere, but especially in youtube comments
Now that you mention it, I've seen that too, it's been cropping up very recently. I don't get it, tbh, but then again, punching down is easy, so of course people hop on.
