Returned to @briefingbook.bsky.social today with @gsgoda.bsky.social to update on disability status and employment since the pandemic. Disability is still up, especially cognitive issues among young people. And, building on Gopi’s work with Evan Soltas… www.briefingbook.info/p/rising-pre...
Rising prevalence of disability is part of COVID-19's evolving labor market legacy
Negative effects on labor force participation persist, as do higher rates of disability and employment among those with disabilities

I have been doing these #wellness checks for some time in my discord server support group for disabled and chronically ill pagans & witches. With how difficult things are right now for so many, I felt it would be of benefit to others.

Weekly Wellness Checks In times of duress, it is extra important to take the time to check in with yourself, and honestly assess how you are doing. This helps with balancing self-care needs, and also with giving yourself credit for what you accomplish even when it feels like you have accomplished nothing. To that end, on different days of the week I post prompts to help others find voice for their needs, joys, and victories, and so community can provide support. Remember! When replying to others, support and compassion first. Advice only if requested. sidneyeileen.bsky.social Weekly Wellness Checks Made-It Monday! The deliberate double entandre is for anything and everything you have made, or made it through, during the prior week. This is a way to celebrate victories and accomplishments, big or small or seemingly inconsequential, be it meeting a major life goal, remembering your medication, making it through the work week, creating or working on a piece of art, making yourself a sandwich, making it out of bed when it all feels like too much, or anything else. Look at you, surviving the week and getting things done! I’m proud of you! sidneyeileen.bsky.social Weekly Wellness Checks Wellness Wednesday! This prompt looks for the honest answer to the question, “How have you been?” Good, bad, neutral, or complicated, it all matters. By honestly checking in with yourself, you can adjust your activities, engage in needed self-care, and hopefully avoid or recover from burnout and despair. Living is hard, but dying would be a pity. No one is genuinely OK right now unless there is something seriously broken in them. It is OK to not be OK. sidneyeileen.bsky.social Weekly Wellness Checks Fun Friday! Western cultures tell us that we are not allowed to be happy when things are bad, or we are not giving the bad things the gravity they deserve. The reality is that the worse things are, the more important it is to find fun and joy and happiness, no matter how trivial or fleeting. Without moments of joy and of peace, the weight of oppression and misery has the ability to utterly crush us. Treasure the joys that make each day bearable. You are worth it! sidneyeileen.bsky.social

unemployment denied me for being too injured to work even though that's not the case. i appealed, which could take a couple months. i could file short term disability but they'd likely deny me for not being too injured to work and unemployment would claim i'm lying about my ability to work
