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:

  1. 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.
  2. Follow the principles of disability justice, as outlined in the link above.
  3. Zero tolerance for ableism. That includes lateral ableism. Ableism will result in a ban.
  4. No COVID minimization.
  5. 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".
  6. 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.)
  7. Please CW and spoiler tag discussions of ableism.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Follow the Hexbear Code of Conduct.

Let's kick back and have fun!

Sorry for the (pretty late) mega y'all, getting back on track with this one catgirl-sorry

Not much else going on with me to be honest. Semester's coming to a close soon, which is nice, the classes weren't the best this time around. Hopefully I'll be able to wrap it up without too many issues.

Of course, I also hope you all do well this week! Well, this week and a half doggirl-sweat


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.

The mix of irreverence and reverence for human bodies at school drives me batty. On one hand there are all these rules about what you can and can't do with regards to the dignity of the cadavers, on the other hand I just saw someone brush aside a pile of bones to make room for his yoghurt Like your arm holding the spoon is almost leaning on a human scapula, and also if I took a photo of this I would literally go to jail.

I sort of approve of the practicality of it, but I also don't really know where the limits are.

Not super related but I kinda wish when I die my bones could be in a collection or something. That'd be so morbid and cool. Maybe make my organs into wet specs.

I do not have the spoons for studying ligaments anymore. I'm gonna eat an apple and return refreshed

If I wake up a study partner by appointment, how long does it take for it to become rude for them to keep me waiting outside before coming down?

I've been rewriting this comment a few times. And I had to remind myself that, while 10 min doesn't seem like all that long when you are writing it in a comment, in reality, it is. Especially in such a situation, where you are waiting and can't really do other stuff, having to be constantly semi-aware of whats going on so you can't loose track of time, it feels even longer.

It also depends on what is happening with the person. I'm not sure if they way you wrote your comment is saying that the person woke up on the appointment time, because if they did, taking 30min is a much worse thing than if they woke up before and something happened and they were really trying not to make it take so long.

In the weekend before my injection, so brain is scrembly egg. Also finished playing Dead Space (2023) which is an excellent choice when already psychotic. Love the games, though. Cool lore, neat monolith, fun critique of organized religion.
