Hello all! All I have to say for now is that the megas must flow catgirl-salute

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 am in a local neighborhood discord group and someone needed a medical device as insurance was taking too long. I was trying to set them up with someone who I know is very knowledgeable at getting free loaned devices until insurance comes through and has come through in the past for me and others. I provided their email and telephone number and spoke with them letting them know what this person needed. I thought I was being helpful until I got scolded by the group and the person asking for help for not providing “material support”, giving useless resources that go no where, and not understanding what disabled folks go through.

    I’m disabled. picard

    I think they were just frustrated at the shitty system we live under, but god damn it did not feel good to get eaten alive by the group.
