Hello everyone.
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.
I hate to say it but I’m really thinking I need to just move away from the PSL. Our chapter is dead in the water as it is and there was some early drama that threw a wrench in the initial onboarding anyway. I wanted to find someone to step up so I could focus on more hyper-local project. We have situation where our local government is tyring t erase our uhnoused instead of giving them proper help, and we are working on the food co-op and a few other projects. There isn’t a lot of us in this group so it’s taking a huge effort of all of us together just to do these few things.
Maybe that’s the way to go then, focusing on the local group and helping the unhoused. To me, it looks like you’ll be able to do more good there in the long run.
But, ultimately, it’s your decision. And if you think moving away from the PSL is a good idea given the circumstances, I’d say do it.
