No fancy OP this time because I am running on E! I’m definitely not a couple of days late! This week’s person of interest is you, dear reader. Tell this fat frog lady all about your lovely selves this week. Tell me what makes you laugh and what brings you joy in this hell on earth we call home.


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.

    you really do have to dictate. they always want to write whatever is quickest which never paints the full picture and that more often then not gets disabled peoples support applications denied.

    Ugh that’s so fucking typical!!! Figures the losers that decide on support applications only trust doctors but doctors are zero effort fuckers!! badeline-rage

    My doctor is actually a decent guy but he SUCKS at notes, honestly I may as well write him a draft. I will stress to him when I (probably) go back for another. Thankfully I can get him to write notes without appointment…

    to a doctor, and especially for any disability support applications, always answer any questions as you would if its your worst day.

    I had sorta figured this out but it is good advice, abaolutely. Makes sense to me that your worst day should be the barometer for applications like that. Shouldn’t have to work so hard at applications, but the system is in fact rigid and ableist…
