spoiler tags and content warnings [cw]

Hexbear CoC

for sensitive content that falls under Hexbear’s Code of Conduct. You can find the spoiler tag here:

Alt Text of image

Alt text of image: a screenshot of a comment box and its editing options, with a dark theme, grey and dark grey background with white text. A skinny white arrow points to the “spoiler” option, which is an exclamation point inside of a diamond, and the 13th or second-from-the-last icon in the middle of the photo and at the top of the light grey comment box that reads “Type here to comment…” in white italic font

After clicking it, substitute the second “spoiler” with your content warning and the three underscores ( ___ ) with your sensitive content.

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 haven’t been too active on here the past few days and might not be as active as usual still. I’m having trouble fighting off this UTI and I don’t feel well. I’m about to finish my second course of antibiotics and they’re not working. On top of this of course I’m managing alone with everything as my landlady is still away visiting her sick daughter. Her daughter has now developed blood clots in her arms on top of everything else and the treatment giving so far hasn’t worked. She might need to have them surgically removed. I’ve got a date for my next foot surgery too and they had a cancellation so it’s in less than a fortnight. So now I need to raise money for the bandage packs again, I still don’t have my backpay. Everything’s a bit much at the moment and I don’t know what they’ll do about this UTI as I can no longer take most antibiotics due to contra indications and allergies.

    I hope you’re all doing OK though.
