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.
Pet sitting this weekend has reminded me of how much love and affection animals can give. I wish it was feasible for everyone to adopt pets. My legs are numb from this cat in my lap and I couldn’t feel much more content at their warmth and little motor purr. I’d feel jealous, but I can’t provide for a pet like their owners and I’m just glad they’re so well loved and properly cared for. I’d spoil this fluff if I had them, too.
I want a pet so bad 😔 but I cant feasibly take care of one. The closest I can get is feeding feral pigeons.
The middle ground is having friends and family with pets. Also this way you get to spoil it without having to deal with the consequences
Yeah, same here. I can do it for a few days but it burns me out on top of being expensive. I love feeding the crows and songbirds in the neighborhood when I can. Wildlife is so cool to just sit and watch sometimes.
Yeah if it wasn’t for my landlady’s dog I wouldn’t even carry on.
Animals are such treasures, I’m glad landlady’s dog is good company
