My thoughts these days go to the medical professionals who, despite the pressures and stress they’re facing, are putting in the effort and time to understand our struggles, take them seriously, and try to help to the best of their ability, sometimes even beyond. All medical professionals should be like this; I’m glad there’s at least some who are.

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.

    CW: Talking about the Epstein news

    spoiler

    So yeah, the flood of all the Epstein news is officially starting to trigger me. I’m glad the truth is coming out and these monsters are finally being exposed, but constantly hearing about the most evil things imaginable is starting to get to me. Caught between wanting to stay informed and wanting to protect my mental health.

      Spoiler

      I worry that the constant exposure to these horrific crimes will desensitise people. Personality I try to avoid the explicit stuff as much as possible.
