Hello disabled comrades! I can’t believe we’re entering a new year… which is year six of the pandemic, hooray. I’m a firm believer that we must always have revolutionary optimism, but I can’t say it hasn’t been hard for the past few years as more and more leftists have abandoned COVID precautions. But as disabled people, we keep agitating, we keep organizing, and we keep going. Solidarity in the face of pandemic eugenics, always.
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.
Wait really? This is news to me, rad. I remember you talking about costochondritis, but of the sternum! We should trade tips about how not to cause ourselves excruciating pain or smth.
Also
ur comments inspired me to do a daily lift again today, just now. It kind of sucks but I think I can build muscle mass and it’ll help a bit, exercise feels good at least, runner’s high kinda thing.
I hope lifting helps when you get back to it too
