It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

MODERATORS
I have never heard of anyone describe themselves as a “spoonie” but now that I have heard of it I give them all uncritical support and, this comment reeks of a Redditor assimilationist approach to neurodivergency. Your feelings around your own neurodivergency are your own and you have a right to them, but acting like people who are embracing lifestyles that are compatible with their brain are cringe or “annoying” is fucking infuriating. Don’t do that. Please.
Edit: I apologize for how rude that was. I am emotional and tired.
You were rude to assume that I am making any statements about neurodivergency at all.
Spoonie was originally a term to describe physical illness.
I am in constant physical pain.
That is not the same as being autistic. There is no social model for my disability. I am in agony.
I am enraged that you make false statements about my illness.
But it’s used by neurodivergent people often which is why I made the conflation, though granted, on accident. I am sorry.
Yeah, I've heard it used only by my partner who has CFS, didn't know it was used as a neurodivergent thing too now.
Yeah that comment had a rancid vibe
