I'm a bit curious

People with disabilities! Do you prefer the term disability or functional diverse?

Euthymic Pride Flag

Euthymia: A non-oscillating mood change; non-labile, nondepressed non-manic non-hypomanic, reasonably positive or stable mood balancing; serenity, a calming patience, or nondysregulated emotion of average behavior; equilibrated or tranquil mental state; or the etymological inverse of dysthimia.

Not to be confused with euphoria or eulalia. Note: bipolar people indeed experience this too, such as those in remission, but not necessarily. I can also go euthymic when out of remission, for example.

A Masterpost- Accessible Versions Of All Of My Disabled Pride flags

[pt: A Masterpost- Accessible Versions Of All Of My Disabled Pride flags /end pt]

Neurodivergent & Disabled | Hearing Disability | Functional Diversity

Mental Disability | Intellectual Disability | Physical Disability

Neurodevelopmental Disability | Neurodevelopmental Disorders | Neurodevelopmental Variations

Note: I’m not concerned by intellectual and hearing disability (I’m disabled, I just don’t have these types of disability). If you’re not confortable using those flags because of this, please don’t use them and use other flags made by people who are concerned instead.

Flag for functional diversity?

Firstly, a little definition (because I didn't precisely know what it was before and a lot of people probably don't either) :

Functional diversity is a politically and socially correct term for special needs, disability, impairment and handicap, which began to be used in Spain in scientific writing, at the initiative of those directly affected, in 2005. (from Wikipedia).

Here's the pride flag :

Functional Diversity

Flag meanings

Background : Disabled pride

First stripe (from left to right) : Chronic pains

Second stripe : Mental and intellectual functional diversity

Third stripe : Physical functional diversity

Forth stripe : Neurodiversity

Fith stripe : Disabilities

Note : I'm personally not a fan of those terms because it implies that saying disabled is inherently bad\negative. But I'm only "against" that when it's a non-disabled person saying those terms. If you're disabled and identify as a person with special needs and/or with a functional diversity, it's amazing, super valid and you're wonderful!

The deforestation and altering land use in Sumatra, Indonesia, have resulted in significant ecological shifts, especially in tropical rainforest ecosystems that play a crucial role in global biodiversity and carbon cycling. Based on species distribution and their ecological traits, plants’ trait proportion, functional composition, and functional diversity across four land-use systems were calculated. The effects of land-use changes on each trait in species and individual plant levels, their variability, and functional diversity were observed using statistical tools such as Pearson’s chi-squared test, ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test, Tukey’s HSD and post-hoc multiple comparisons to detect the effects and relationships. The similarities and dissimilarities of traits were observed using NMDS ordination-based dissimilarity of traits. By examining 1382 plant species and 156,005 individuals in forest, jungle rubber, rubber plantations, and oil palm plantations, we found variations in the number of species, individual counts, and the mix of functional traits. The findings indicated that forests and jungle rubber had more incredible species richness and trait diversity than monocultures, particularly in pollination and seed dispersal syndromes. A significant association was discovered between functional and taxonomic diversity at the species level, exhibiting declining benefits at the individual level. The study emphasizes the need for sustainable land-use strategies to mitigate biodiversity loss and maintain ecosystem services.
