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.
The simple and easy solution is that the government should pay for stair lifts for anyone who needs them, which is why it will never happen. No money left for
accessibility devices, all money spent onmurdering brown people.stair lifts are more like a bandaid fix than an actual solution. what about if you need to move something heavy or large up/down the stairs? what if you need to move many things up and down the stairs that will take multiple trips? what if theres an emergency and you are upstairs? etc. the simple and easy solution is just to build more one story houses.
