In case anyone finds it helpful because mobility aids are horrifically expensive and inaccessible…
And for those people who have access to mobility devices but might benefit from a second chair they can abuse without risking expensive damage…
Erik Kondo has made a website, Open Source Innovations, that details plans for DIY wheelchairs. These wheelchairs can be made from common materials like wood, plastic, and pvc. They are lightweight and can be custom fit to the user allowing from the same degree of movement you would get from a custom chair. And they are durable and easily repairable. (he has been stress testing his latest design by dropping it down stairs, dropping it out of a car, launching it across a driveway, and throwing it off a deck). Its 12lbs and I think he said its was in the $200 ish range for parts.
He also is working on cheap, open source, accessible designs for beach chairs, off road chairs, motorized attachments (think smart drive), and so on. Plus he skateboards in his wheelchair. Cool dude, helpful info, pass it on.
please be kinder to the people around you who have neurotypes that "scare" you. i really don't think it's cool to see people claim to hate ableism, and then treat psychotic people, bipolar people, people with OCD, people with personality disorders, people with DID, traumatized people and so on like garbage. i don't really care if seeing someone who is actually, for real in the throes of a mental health crisis is frightening to you, it's far, far more frightening for them. compassion is key here. learning to get over our fears isn't just for people with anxiety, psychosis and trauma- it's for all of us. if someone is genuinely harming you, it's okay to seek help and to be alarmed. but if they are having symptoms that are not affecting you, it is not okay to treat them like garbage. treat everyone around you with respect, especially people with "scary" neurotypes and mental health conditions. no one deserves to be looked at with terror when they need help.
WOOOOOO cheering you on!
yesterday was very odd for me and im genuinely just... im in shock honestly. i worked from 6am to 10pm outside with my garden and me and a bunch of my family and neighbors were working on a barn and coop for the animals i may be able to get soon. usually, i am bed bound and i cant even get out of my house on good days. am i recovering?? this was so odd ive genuinely never been able to work that hard... ever! like im so sore and im in horrible pain and my skin burns but it feels good. im still giddy from it and its been 6 hours
i genuinely think gardening and farming might help me recover physically and mentally. i havent done heroin or fentanyl today or yesterday (tbf its 4am) and im just... i didnt even think about it. sure i was in pain but i was so focused it... didnt feel real. it felt like i was in a sped up youtube video.
"FUCK EVERYTHING HURTS" I scream, remembering I have the Everything Hurts Disorder
Kermit for pope
I was trying to find out if Kermit was eligible to be pope and I found a blog that says he's the perfect example of a catholic priest
Trans women should not have to be pushed to be nurturing and soft spoken and conform to tradwife standards in order to be valid and heard, if you think they do then you're a transmisogynist.
Trans men shouldn't have to be pushed to "man up" and conform to toxic masculinity in order for them to be valid, if you think they do then you are a transandrophobe.
Nonbinary people shouldn't have to infantilize themselves in order for them to be valid and heard, if you think they do then you are an exorsexist.
Intersex people shouldn't have to be pushed to conform to either cis or trans standards in order to be valid or heard, if you think they do then you are intersexist. (Let intersex people just be intersex if that's how they wish to be labeled.)
There are more things I could add to these list but I'm keeping it short but feel free to add anything to this that you feel like I missed!
