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.
Dog has figured out it likes to soothe with my hand in its mouth. It also wants to hang out in its basket. It seeks to achieves this by dragging my hand to the basket. Just the hand though.
So you’re not allowed to come along with the hand?
No see it’s the dogs basket, not mine. I don’t belong in the basket. My hand should though.
That is indeed a difficult logistics problem. You sure you can’t just unscrew the hand for a while?
The dog has made several attempts, but my hand stubbornly refuses to detach
Damn. I suppose there’s no way around it, the dog will have to keep your hand. Sorry Keld.
That’s fair, he enjoys it more than I do.
