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.
Some of the replies are saying this is a reddit thing but I’m pretty sure most people would do the same. This is the dominant view in our society.
CW: discussion of ableist beliefs
Also bc of some very old belief that only “able-bodied” people can survive in harsh conditions. Like, that during an apocalyptic scenario straight out of Hollywood, people who are disabled would just die first, because they’re sick. It’s a very pervasive belief and it makes it sound like each disability is the same.
