*Sees Someone On Twitter Arguing That DoorDash Is Necessary For The Disabled Because Microwave Food Is

*Sees someone on twitter arguing that DoorDash is necessary for the disabled because microwave food is too much to handle.*

...What. That seems absurdly specific.

There are a lot of reasons someone might not be able to microwave food. "I literally cannot get out of bed", "i need nutrients you can't just microwave", "my dumb brain has put up 18 billion barriers to try and stop me from eating and this is the loophole I have" "the microwave in this apartment is out of reach/not labeled properly/not ADA friendly in another way" "for x or y reason microwave food is a one way ticket to severe burns", etc. I found a lot of reasons someone might need DoorDash and I also found this cool article about food sharing in the disabled community and how the author had to rely on an abusive partner once because she was either in bed or barely able to crawl and they were among the few people bringing food.

Just saying, there's a reason disabled people have higher chances of food insecurity and there's a reason meal trains, meals on wheels, and other programs focus on bringing food to people in need and not just assuming "they have a microwave and money, why bother?". Sometimes you don't have a family or friends or mutual aid group to bring you meals when you can't even pop something in the microwave.

New COVID Variant Triggers Symptoms Before Positive Tests, Complicating Diagnoses

A new COVID-19 variant is causing symptoms days before individuals test positive, posing challenges to containment efforts and highlighting

If you have a cold and test negative for COVID you are not in the clear. Tests take a while to turn positive. Meanwhile you are spreading COVID to family and friends. Mask up if you have any symptoms. This virus is just evil.

So THIS is where my cake post went! (my original disability blog was erased by tumblr out of nowhere)

Dear god the notes on this baby

Made these about a month ago, figured other spoonies might want to use them

why is the pressure to be “the bigger person” always placed on the person who was wronged?

To anyone whose links weren’t working on mobile:

I had the same issue and had to update the app. Now the links work again!

Update your tumblr app!

Shoutout to disabled people who's ability to leave the house is entirely dependent on the weather. It sucks.
