Ableism is both necessary for and dependent on white supremacy, imperialism and colonialism, capitalism, queermisia and transmisia, and misogyny.

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’m quitting my job, and on the one hand, I cannot wait to never have to work in a bar again. I was way overworked, literally running an entire bar by myself, and people are so unbelievably rude. I get treated like a vending machine in there, where the worst kind of alcoholics just come in and shout the name of the beer they want while I’m clearly busy. Also the sexual harassment.
On the other hand, I dread the job search. Begging asshole petit bourgeoisie to exploit me is a humiliation ritual.
