theres something about being disabled and needing to sit down constantly in public spaces that makes you notice how often benches are put up as tributes and memorials. and before i hit an age where i really started to need them as frequently i think i never fully understood the sentiment but now its become very endearing to me. a bit of relief and care for you in the name of someone who offered us the same… i dont think i had a point with this post but i hope everyone thats been memorialized as such knows how loved they were to become synonymous with respite even to total strangers
every day I'm clocking in for my shift at the not making sense factory . we don't know what we're making only that it's not sense.
“once in a generation” is such an odd phrase, doesn’t that mean it happens every 20-30 years? that’s not really once in an anything, just a thing that keeps happening
Same as it ever was
i should be naked with my lover not whatever this is
my bio mom is in the kitchen signing a card for her mom and i’m saying happy mother’s day to trans girls on the internet
i didn’t get her anything, not even a card
they’re better mothers than she could have ever been
when someone does this to me they get a Telltale Games popup [Sp00kyButch will remember this.] and they permanently lose access to some of my story choices
Me when my able-bodied friends walk too fast
i am BEGGING people to please stop spreading this sentiment without the appropriate nuance. I irreparably damaged my shoulders by using a mobility aid that wasn’t right for me because I was told “just get the cane!”
Mobility aid use is a serious medical decision. Absolutely do NOT get crutches because you “think they would make you look cool.” You have a high chance of causing avoidable, permanent damage to your body.
If you are unable to be seen by an occupational therapist, please make sure to do research on different mobility aids and how to best use them for your needs. It can make a world of difference in your future ability.
to those who want a mobility aide, but don't think they're "disabled enough" for it:
get the aide.
you want a cane, but you don't think you need it? get the cane.
you want a wheelchair, but you can get by without? get the wheelchair.
you think crutches would make you look cool? get the crutches.
it doesn't matter if you just think it looks cool or fun. using mobility aides actively helps those of us who do 100% need them, even if you don't ""need"" them.
using mobility aides in public makes it easier for others to do so. buying mobility aides, especially things like canes, often means that they continue to be made and supplied. sometimes, disabled folks make and supply mobility aides - in that case, you may be directly supporting them.
get the mobility aide. use it. you're doing good.
