Could've just said effort or energy and i would've understood the intent of this post, I am now clued into spoon theory now though
- Neither of those terms are quite interchangeable though. Everybody has low energy days, that's relatively normal. But the word spoons is a shorthand for explaining a precious, and much more finite resource, as a way to distinguish the experience for disabled people.
  
  But it's not a vital nor precious resource. It's just tangable and limited. I think that's the disconnect.

  I'm sorry, are you trying to argue that spoons aren't a vital, nor precious, resource for disabled people? Because I disagree vehemently. Please go and read Christine Miserandino's original post:

  I did, and the point was about general translation.
  
  You know what, nevermind, I'm done wasting my spoons arguing this point with people in this thread.
  
  The fact you can't respect that I ran out of spoons for arguing the point, kind of just proves my point that you don't understand the term, doesn't it?
  
  Here I am, after sleeping and recovering some spoons. That are precious, that I still don't want to waste on changing your mind, when you're clearly not willing to understand.
  
  Sorry Norah, I somehow completely missed these reports. Have removed the comments and have flagged the user as potentially ableist meaning any more dodgy behaviour and I’ll know it’s repeated behaviour -> ban.
  I think your reports didn’t federate to my main account @FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone so I only got them when I logged into this dead alt — weird.
