Hello everyone, I’ll be hosting the megathread while un_mask_me is out.
I completely forgot I had to post it until just now.
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.
My doctor went to the same school as me so he asked me about my extracurricular club activities. I told him i was probably gonna join the pediatrics or the surgeons club, he asked me about another club and I said that it sounded super boring and he said he used to head up that club.
Fucking whoops.
Surgeon club practise sutures on children’s broken stuffed animals. As in children bring in stuffed toys that lost an arm or something and you practise suturing it on, and then you put a bandaid on the stuffed animal.
That’s so adorable
It is literally the best thing ever. Imagine a hundred kindergartners queuing up to have their toys fixed and they walk out with their little teddies in bandages as they go out to play.
Last time the kids who had already had their toys fixed or were too far back in line played a traditional kids game (I don’t know if it has a name in English? It’s sorta like team catch where you run from end to end of a place?) in the courtyard and all the fixed stuffed toys were lined up on the benches to serve as spectators.
