There are obviously more things I like & dislike, but I’m not gonna share everything
some special tags:
And probably many more! (Sorry that I can’t think of them all)
And as a little extra…
I hate this fucking thing so much but it's been years and I can never bring myself to get rid of it.
I wish you could follow someone again
Like there are so many people I wanna follow again
Ok guide on how to portray mobility aids bc I saw someone drawing a person missing a leg(without prosthesis) and using a cane as a replacement and honestly I almost laughed so here it is.
Canes: used to compensate for impaired mobility like muscle weakness or impairments such as a prosthetic leg. Usually used on opposite side of impairment, can be used on same side, also can be used in pairs. Cane gets put down at same time as impaired leg, if used in pairs, use same as opposite side cane. Multiple types of canes so determine which is best
Crutches(underarm and forearm): both can be used one at a time in a similar manner to a cane with more support. Can swing-to on crutches. Underarm crutches are like those hospital ones you get when you injure a leg, forearm crutches wrap around your above the elbow and have an open grip for your hand. They can be used to walk assisted in the same way as a cane.
Transport wheelchairs: not a lot of independence as it has to be pushed by another person. The wheels are small
Manual wheelchairs: allow for increased independence. Have large back wheels, often with a grip bar for less injury. They often have push handles in the back in case somebody needs to push the user's chair for them. They can have an boost added to them for increased power on uphill drives.
Power wheelchairs: driven by joystick, have smaller wheels like a transport chair. Some may have the ability to switch to a transport chair, and these ones often have handles in the back. They are heavier and bulkier then aforementioned aids, good for severely impaired mobility.
Get hot water, not boiling hot but almost hotter than you can stand, and put a metal spoon in it for a few seconds. Take the spoon and put it against the mosquito bite for about 30 seconds. Do it a few times if you like. The proteins that cause the itching are susceptible to heat and break down.
WHY DON’T THEY TEACH THIS SHIT I have four decades of suffering from skeeter bites behind me
One study on 146 individuals treated with a Bite-Away heat pen found similarly effective results from heat treatment; thankfully, spoons dunked in water cost way less than the Bite-Away’s 30 bucks.
You can also blast the bite with a hair dryer - learned this from my mom and it works great
im expecting a lot of "pride month is over, now it's time for wrath month" posts. that's cool and all. but july is disability pride month.
pride month is when you're SUPPOSED to be angry. it's a celebration AND a riot. that was the best time to get angry. second best time is now. but it's not wrath month. let disabled people have this.
please get angry with us. please fight with us! we are both losing our rights, if we ever even had them to begin with. please don't talk over us, especially during our own pride month.
did you know over 10,000 people die a year while waiting to be told whether or not they can receive disability benefits?
did you know while being provided disability benefits, disabled people cannot have more than $2,000 total in their bank account? the average rent for an apartment in the united states, as of last month, is $1,995. per month.
while they want to kill queer people, they want to kill disabled people just as bad. please look out for your disabled friends and family. please look out for those of us who don't have friends and family. those of us who are out on the streets.
Happy Disability Pride Month! This goes to the visibly disabled people, the invisible disabled people, the chronically ill, the mentally ill, the chronic pain patients, the chronic fatigue patients, any spoonie out there. You deserve love and care. You're worth it. You have value.
