Hopefully this tip can really help someone, please take this advice or suggest to friends and family if you feel it could really assist them
Ok so at this point I've had two people roll up to me in manual wheelchairs, well, one of them was somebody pushing somebody who was nonverbal at the time, but it still counts. They asked me why I had zip ties around my tires.
It's winter where I'm living and we have really bad snow. And the snow plow people are really bad at their jobs probably because there aren't snow plow people who clean sidewalks. As a solution I got to thinking about how I could increase the traction on my wheels. And the most redneck thing I could think of was taking a bunch of zip ties and tying them around my wheels. They last surprisingly long, and work surprisingly well. It's basically the same premise as chains for your tires during the winter.
I chose to space them out pretty evenly so there's about one for every spoke. You could probably do more or less depending on how many you want and how much traction you get but I wouldn't go more than three per spoke. I realize that it's a bit later in the winter, and I probably should have made a post about this sooner, but I came up with it about a week ago. So please share this, even if you're not disabled, because there are tons of people I know who are stuck in their houses because they can't get around in the snow. A pack of zip ties costs about $5, which compared to $200 knobby snow tires is a big save, and if you want to invest you could get colored zip ties.
Ok so I have developed a new obsession and my lizard brain has drawn a connection between 4 unrelated characters and this paired them together.
They’re all
Skinny
Tall
Related to the color blue
And have some trauma
And I redrew each of em
We’ve got
2D from Gorillaz
Edd from Ed, Edd, and Eddy
Huggy Wuggy from Poppy Playtime
And
Megamind from, well Megamind
The way my brain rationalized these was that they should each be from a Different form of media such as a band, cartoon, video game, or movie.
And now I present you my favorite work I’ve created of these boys so far
Since I love Gorillaz
Ahh I forgot to do this yesterday day
Favorite lgbt meme?
Favorite Lgbt ship?
Would absolutely have to be zukka
I read a ton of fanfics and love all the fanart.
I love a lot of ships but if I listed them all we’d be here awhile.
Casually remembering when a classmate mentioned something about burning easily in the sun and I said “pale skin gang” and they paused and said “no I’m definitely paler than you” and pulled up their sleeve.
Now I didn’t mean it as a competition, I feel that’s obvious from the statement, but I plopped down my milky, semi translucent arm and stared them down.
“Holy shit, you could be a vampire”
“Pale skin gang, we all burn together”
Mind you, I can see my veins from my shoulder all the way into my hands
But the nurses can never find a vein that works
Damn you rollie veins
no one fucking tells you this so here it is:
when signing out forms to apply for disability / filling out a form for diagnosis
you’re supposed to fill it out as you on your worst days
like, I filled out forms that said I could do most things usually
like, my doctor added in the conditions like “yeah, they can feed themselves when not stressed” “they can do this when not stressed”
but how I should have filled it out was more like
“some days I can’t feed myself” “some days I can’t leave the house”
My doctor didn’t even know this, but I talked to someone who had worked with people with both developmental and intellectual disabilities for a number of years, and she told me to write down how it is for your bad days
this should be a thing they tell you, but it isn’t
part of the reason I didn’t get my autism diagnosis as soon as I should have is because I filled out forms wrong!
Or if none matter to you at all, it’s all okay
You decide what relationships in your life are the most important. And who you're closest too. You decide what types of relationships matter to you most.
stop eating lucky charms and cheerios products. they are currently under investigation by the FDA due to thousands of reports of food poisoning across the country
keep the boxes, keep the receipts, especially if you believe cheerios or lucky charms may have made you ill in the past year. many of these reports date back to late 2021. the FDA investigation is ongoing, and they have not yet identified the cause of illness.
as a reminder, food poisoning is not one single thing. food poisoning does not mean tummy ache. food poisoning is thousands of different substances, toxins, undeclared ingredients, contaminants, viruses, bacteria, pesticides, fungi, carcinogens, mutagens, and more that can make people severely ill, permanently disabled, or dead.
despite thousands of reports of illness from cereal marketed towards CHILDREN, no recall has been issued yet.

Anitri and Surri sat on Jem's couch patiently as Jem brewed tea in the kitchen.
Anitri looked around the tidy apartment, staring at the rose mural on one of the walls. All other walls were white with forest green trims. It was rather peaceful with classical musical playing gently in the background.
A black fluffy, possibly fat, cat walked into the room, and stopped. Staring at the two strangers on the couch. It meowed loudly, fur puffing up on its neck.
"Lordie, leave them alone." Jem said as they walked in with a tea tray.
Anitri chuckled at the cats name. Surri narrowed her eyes at Jem. She's trying to understand the height difference. Yesterday Jem or Coco Rose as they're otherwise known, appeared to be about 6'5"yesterday. Now they seemed maybe 5'10". Seven inch shoes are nothing to sneeze at, but they perform in those. Wow.
"So," Jem started, "If you stay here, you will have to pay half the rent, along with obey a few rules."
The twins exchanged a look before Surri spoke their concern.
"What rules?"
Jem looked over the rim of their mug.
"No copulation in the apartment," Jem deadpanned, "Don't leave clothes in the bathroom unless you want them covered in fur, and don't touch my plants."
Anitri giggled over the use of the word copulation, while Surri rolled her eyes.
"Y'know, just because we're concubus, that doesn't mean we're sex fiends." Surri scoffed.
Jem quirked up their eyebrow in confusion and continued, "That's not what I was implying, sorry for the misunderstanding. I'm simply uncomfortable with any sort of happenings like that and do not wish for anyone to partake in such acts in my home. That would be a rule regardless of your race, species, gender or other components. Simply a boundary."
Surri was mildly surprising at how put together and generous Jem was being to them. She didn't exactly expect someone who knew them to be assassins to treat them so kindly, or even let them in their house.
"Oh, one more rule." Jem said, placing their cup gently on their coaster.
Anitri leaned his over, head on his hands as the were on his knees, "Yeah?"
"If you get blood on the floor," Jem said with a slight smirk, "Please use the rags in the purple bucket located next to the washer to wipe up the blood."
Surri wasn't completely shocked that Jem wasn't against their business but it's still appalling to hear someone so nonchalantly tell you that murder is okay.
"Well," Jem said, standing from their seat, "Do we have a deal?"
Anitri looks over to Surri with a smile. Surri sighs and stands.
"I believe we do," she answers, reaching out her hand to shake.
Jem smiles for the first time and shakes her hand.
"Let me show you the rooms."
Jem walked down one of the halls, Anitri hopping up to follow behind them quickly while Surri strolled along cautiously.
They walked by a door or two before reached the first room option.
It was a blank slate. It had a reasonable amount of space, a bathroom, and a sliding door closet. The floors were wood and the walls were pale grey. The window showed the city in all its underwhelming glory.
The next room was down the hall a bit more. It also had grey walls and wood floors but it had a smallish walk in closet, a two sink bathroom and a bay window overlooking the coast through the buildings.
"Dibs!" Anitri screeched, running to look out the window.
Jem turned towards Surri with a look that asked if she cared to challenge him. Surri shook her head with a chuckle.
Her brother may be the same age but he was so youthful. His spirit hasn't been crushed by the world yet.
'And we're going to keep it like that.' She thought to herself.
"Well," Jem's voice breach's Surri's thought, "If y'all need help moving in, feel free to ask, and if I'm not enough to help, I have a real eager to help friend."
Jem makes their way back down the hall towards the living room when they pause by the halls opening.
"Any questions?"
Surri remembered the busted up combat boots by the door that we're definitely to small for Jem.
"Whose boot are by the door?"
Jem looks over their shoulder with an almost quizzical look.
"They're Emily's."
I love all things frog, mushroom, rainbow high… I have Ehlers danlos syndrome and use both a rollator and a cane. Enby that is bad at making friends but likes to have them. I adore many cartoons but haven’t seen even more.
