1. Before every flight/between every offload & onload: take pictures of your wheelchair from all angles and make sure you can see the airport in the background!
— this is KEY to have evidence in case something gets broken and you have to open a case.
2. Add a luggage tag to your wheelchair so it is identifiable.
3. If you have layovers/if your wheelchair needs to be returned to aircraft door; you have to make it so clear a toddler could understand.
• Example: extra label on your physical wheelchair saying so, ask at gate, ask flight attendant beginning of flight for it to return, remind attendant when landing to call for it to for sure return.
— the orange wheelchair tag has not proven enough for many people, making me lose my wheelchair twice in one trip even though my label was TRIPLE CHECKED at the gates. Write it on a strip of ducttape onto your chair I don’t care; mark it clear and loud.
4. If you have removable foot rests: take👏🏻them👏🏻off👏🏻
— these can get lost. Learned the hard way. Take them onto the plane with you. I’ve never been refused to bring these onto my flight along with carry-on/personal item.
5. Get those get push rim covers!!
You can get them for +- 20 bucks on Aliexpress/Amazon. Your push rims will slide across that storage space and it will get scuffed or even splinter.
BONUS: makes it an identifiable wheelchair! I can always clarify with mine ‘the red wheel one with all the stickers’

My partner and I opened an Etsy shop! We’re planning to sell Pokemon-inspired items- patches, props, charms and the like- along with items like plushies and wood carvings! So far, we have three patches available in our shop, with a number of other designs in development :>
You can check out our shop at the link above, or search for GinkgoGuildGeneral on Etsy!
My car is getting serviced and this auto shop has a shop dog and he's ridiculous. Look at this guy. This is a grown ass man.
We have enough to share
Hello! I am making a genetic cat picrew and i wonder if there's any guides on different white patches or tortoiseshell patterns. I am planning to do different types of tortoiseshell and white patches so I'm wondering-
Oh this is very fun…
Here’s a selection of diagrams demonstrating typical white distribution patterns and the classifications or nicknames which may be used to describe them.
Note that terms like harlequin, van and so forth are moreso used by registeries to describe phenotype. When it comes to genotype your basic white spotting is going to be…
No white (ww, wwg)
White gloving (wgwg)
Below 50% white (Wsw, Wswg)
Above 50% white (WsWs)
Dominant White (Wdw, Wdwg, WdWs, WdWd)
The possibilities are pretty much endless so have fun with it, especially when you get down to the little random markings. Here are the white pattern tags for the blog that you can peruse for inspiration:
bicolor white
harlequin white
van white
other white
mitted white
I don’t have as many visual resources for tortoiseshell but here’s a diagram @amber-tortoiseshell made illustrating the effect white spotting has on the standard tortoiseshell distribution.
The less white there is the more mottled the appearance, the colors sporadic and mixed in a manner than can be described as brindled. As white is added these patches increase in size and definition until they become distinct blotches.
The split face is a common tortoiseshell marking. The face, paws and tail also tend to sport larger and more distinctive patches of color even if the rest of the body is pretty well brindled.
Here are the tortoiseshell tags for the blog that you can peruse for inspiration:
black tortoiseshell
blue tortoiseshell
chocolate tortoiseshell
lilac tortoiseshell
cinnamon tortoiseshell
fawn tortoiseshell
I’d love to see it when you’re finished! Let me know if you have any more questions!

Got reminded again of my old coworker who was a massive misogynist but also trans inclusive. Told me he believed trans women are indeed women because "only women would be stupid enough to want to be women"
I wonder what he's doing now
