      true, but it definitely isn’t framed in nicest way for those with disabilities, as aberrant individuals needing to be reintegrated with the rest of society. don’t get me wrong, the news is cool as hell, but the framing definitely doesn’t feel like a choice someone with a disability would have made :p

        I dunno, having been sick and unable to do anything productive has always driven me nuts. If I was in that situation, I would jump at the chance to do something other than sit there like a vegetable.

            Don’t waste your effort - lemmygrad users have been universally ableist as hell in my experience.

            They’re generally the productivity cult kind of socialist, unfortunately.

              this isn’t the same as living your life with a disability. i’m not going to continue the conversation from here, but please do educate yourself as it’s not great still seeing such ableism on the left

                Not sure what specifically is ableist about sharing personal experience or suggesting that a disabled person might possibly have a desire to be productive, but you do you.
