I hope this week treats you gently and all your needs are met.
Friendly reminder to please use
spoiler tags and content warnings [cw]
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 also have OCD so I ruminate on this shit for so long, sometimes multiple days, because it makes me so angry. It sucks cuz many people are nice but even one bad interaction and I’m pissed for hours. I never take it out on anyone though.
I feel you. Customer service jobs are so tough to manage mentally and emotionally. And barely any added benefit from the job itself, with high expectations. It’s a lot to have to deal with.
