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!
As of December 2025, there is a Matrix Chat Room that adheres to the same rules as the community. If you want to join, it is an invite only server. Just knock to join. Should you have trouble with the link, you can contact the mods for help: https://matrix.to/#/#Hexbear_Disabled_and_ND:matrix.org

Making vegan creme brulee, because I am an adult who makes adult decisions.
I want one too
Sadly I already ate them all myself. Because I am a little hog for deserts.
Trust however that you were allowed to have one in spirit.
Got that recipe to share? I've been obsessed with vegan cheeze sauce lately, my favorite so far is made from pureed cannellini beans
I thought it was pretty good, although its bruleness is questionable. I used coconut milk (full fat), some vanilla flavoured soy milk (Becase I cant afford actual vanilla), sugar, salt and corn starch. I used like 1 and a half cup of soy milk, and about the same for coconut, about a quarter of a cup of sugar for the actual thing and then some more to put on top at the end, a pinch if salt and uhhh... I used a packet of corn starch and I dont actually know how much it was.
I prepped the corn starch in some hot water first but my friend who actually knows how to cook say that was unnecessary and could have ruined the texture by introducing moisture. But I think ilI got away with it. Anyway. All the ingredients went into the saucepan on medium heat and I just kept stirring until it began to thicken. Then into the little bowl things and into the fridge. Then once it was set i dusted with more sugar and did the whole melting thing.
You should probably use a torch, what i did was not safe.
That is pretty clever, at least it tasted good! I'm a sugar fiend myself.
