“All bodies are unique and essential. All bodies have strengths and needs that must be met. We are powerful, not despite the complexities of our bodies, but because of them. All bodies are confined by ability, race, gender, sexuality, class, nation state, religion, and more, and we cannot separate them.”
From “What is Disability Justice” (Adapted from Patty Berne’s “Disability Justice – A Working Draft”, Published in Skin, Tooth, and Bone: The Basis of Movement is Our People, A Disability Justice Primer, Second Edition.
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.

I am a little bit mad about the amount of people who go to the food bank and throw out/hand back the bread. This many people cant have celiacs, and its weird to be that picky an eater that you’re anti bread while taking food from the food bank. I mean you shouldn’t be forced, but its bread, its like the default food. Is it because its usually whole grain with seeds?
At least those who just hand it back leave it for others I guess. Throwing it out is just rude.
throwing out anything edible is genuinely sinful.
the most charitable outlook would be to assume that they don’t know how much other stuff you can make with it than just sandwiches.
Sure. But sandwiches are great. I made one with roasted bellpeppers, shredded carrots, homemade falafel and some kind of dressing, all of which i got from the food bank.
