Disabled Community Megathread from June 30, 2025 to July 13, 2025
If you carry one thing with you today, let it be this: you are beautiful, you matter, and you are loved.
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.
Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.

I made a post here months ago about how I saw a book I owned being sold on ebay for over £100, so I tried to find my copy to sell, with no luck. It's just happened again. I saw a book I've had since childhood going on ebay for £115, so I tried to find my copy, and I swear I remember seeing it on my bookshelf last year but now it's gone. I did have my stuff moved out of my room temporarily last year as a builder came to fix a damp mouldy wall. Maybe it got lost somewhere while being moved. Why does this keep happening? And how? Two builders carried the bookshelf, with all the books in it, up to the attic and then back down when the repair was complete. It's not up there and I watched them do it, nothing fell off. Things must just dematerialise into another dimension.
I am absolutely certain this is also the dimension the socks from the washing machine disappear to.
Joking aside, I sympathize with your frustration. The books can't be gone, not really at any rate, and I'm sure they turn up eventually. Probably when you least expect it.
The thing is, last year my landlady took a load of books to the charity shop. I'm wondering if they somehow ended up being taken along too.
That's unfortunately possible :/
It's a series of books and number 10 is missing too though. I can't see why someone would just give numbers 7 and 10 away and keep the rest, so maybe they did just fall out somewhere. None of it makes sense.
