The world may sometimes outpace our ability to keep up with it, but we are still here, and we are all catching up on the things we need to. Wishing you all another two weeks of the ability to rest, and - if possible - to catch up on the things that are important to you. Love you all <3

spoiler tags and content warnings [cw]

Hexbear CoC

for sensitive content that falls under Hexbear’s Code of Conduct. You can find the spoiler tag here:

Alt Text of image

Alt text of image: a screenshot of a comment box and its editing options, with a dark theme, grey and dark grey background with white text. A skinny white arrow points to the “spoiler” option, which is an exclamation point inside of a diamond, and the 13th or second-from-the-last icon in the middle of the photo and at the top of the light grey comment box that reads “Type here to comment…” in white italic font

After clicking it, substitute the second “spoiler” with your content warning and the three underscores ( ___ ) with your sensitive content.

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 finally got an appointment for a consultation with the podiatrist to try and get back on the list for further surgery (as the problem is getting worse and more painful). They made me an appointment for the 9th April but now they have cancelled that and pushed it back to 29th April. Then if they put me back on the list I might have to wait months for the surgery. it’s already getting painful to wear shoes again.

    And people are still teasing me over mutual aid! I spoke on lemmy about the person who spent two months teasing me and someone in that thread offered assistance. I messaged to accept, and never heard back again even though he’s been posting on there every day. Why are people like this?

    And my landlady’s daughter and grandkids are coming to visit in about 2 weeks, which is awful. They take over the whole house, the daughter is bossy, rude and unkind and she douses herself in so much perfume I get non-stop migraines.
