A place to post memes & images that won't absolutely obliterate your mental health! Memes must not stray into hopelessness and be generally positive or neutral.

I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!

Only goofs & silliness. (:

I'm obviously for both pride and helping people with disability, how do they fit together?

Could you elaborate what you mean? I'm not sure what exactly you're asking for

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (3 children)

I just don't understand. It's like having male pride month, I just don't understand why separate it? Isn't pride month for disabled people too (ofc it is)?

I'm not against it, I just wonder why.

I guess it depends on how you view pride. Personally, I mainly saw pride being for LGBT+/queer people. There was the inclusion of BIPoC during height of the BLM movement after the George Floyd protests.

For me, a separate mental health pride month is more about giving another marginalized group the spotlight without co-opting the already existing one of a marginalized group. Similar to Black History Month.
