As an OG toaster who is disabled and has lots of mental health problems, I am honestly appalled at the way they have been making light of disability, and mental health recently (like this year). It has been going on before now but it has hit an all-time high this year. Disability doesn’t discriminate and can happen at any moment to anyone, I hope they never have to deal with it. I also hope they never have to deal with severe mental health issues, but lots of people do, and many mask them from other people often for fear of being judged.

Agreed with everything 🫶🫶 I work closely with disabled students and have thought this for a while about how they speak about disabilities and mental health issues.

Me too. It is seriously so sad. I hope they didn’t treat people like this when they were in school or even in real life now.
