I have always been fond of music, especially when I’m feeling down. Now, I don’t think there’s enough popular songs about disability and how we struggle each day. But I stumbled across a song the other day that, while it’s not about disability, I’ve been listening to quite often when I feel like I failed somehow. When all that’s happening is really just me struggling and making it through another day, for better or for worse, I like to remind myself that I am perfectly incomplete, but I am good the way I am. I hope that maybe it helps you too.

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 have thought about this vis a vis COVID, like how there used to be a vegantheoryclub forum or whatever where they just straight up did not tolerate this kinda thing, say some carnist shit and you get the boot. Needs to be something for ableism. Say some foolish anti- shit, get banned. No debate. I am tired of the concessions. I am tired of mingling with these people like we are cool. We are not cool.
this is part of the hexbear (and most instances) tos its just not enforced because (as we said) they dont actually care
you are right, though
