  • Man that sucks shit :(

    I’m sorry things are so rough there 🫂. Here in the US things are also pretty shit, but as is often the case in different parts of the world, the issue looks a bit different.

    Disability rights are more codified and there isn’t widespread callus condemnation of the disabled for being disabled or different. But there’s absolutely a subtext when people hear that you struggle in some regard that you must be lazy. And the current political status quo is shifting into disabled folks being actively under attack as part of the broader change towards vilifying those who are different as being dangerous or a drain on society in some way.

    You don’t usually get it much on a personal level, or at least I don’t within my limited circles, but those legislative attacks deffinitely have support even if the people who support them wouldn’t say to your face you deserve to suffer without being able to ever afford treatment or care.

    But I have a fairly limited perspective on what its like here because I am newer to understanding that one of my challenges feels appropriate to call a disability (more than one of them probably “counts” but I have a hard time feeling like “disabled” is a label I’m allowed to use for myself), and said disability really limits my exposure to other people. Most of my circle is also neurodivergent, and many are also disabled.

    Also the US is a really big place, so it probably varries a lot depending on where you are



  • Interesting. As in double spaces for new line doesn’t work, or code blocks don’t work?

    Yeah it looks the same way to me. I only mention it cause when I started posting here I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how people got it formatted nicely and someone was kind enough to let me know, and so now I mention it to people in case they also wanna know ☺️

    It doesn’t actually matter, your formatting is still perfectly readable :)
