She’s Got A Dick Like An Icepick, And By The Gods.

random musing.

something i really love about life right now is the silent wobble of solidarity when i see another person who has a movement disorder. i wobbled past a guy with cerebral palsy at the store and he raised his T-rex hand to me like it was a gang sign. hell yeah we may be wobbly but we’ll be wobbly together

I think it’s really unfair that I (a person who needs to feel loved all the time) am so incredibly hard to love.

soon may the wellerman come, your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb

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

Once you become a certain age, it is your responsibility to unlearn behaviors that hinder your growth as a person.

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.

really wish able bodied people would stop infiltrating SCI communities to ask about their back pain. that’s not what a fucking SCI is you two-legged fuckwit

i have a recurring stress dream where i’m driving one of those horrible newer cars with a huge iPad looking thing in the dash. (my IRL car is a 2009 Cube). A video game, usually Fortnite, is running on the screen, and for some dream logic reason it is imperative that I both make it to my destination and survive in the game. It usually ends in me crashing, but one time I succeeded somehow and woke up feeling really good about myself lmao

everyone has dreams about being lost at school, late to work, cant find bathroom etc but whats yalls most common Uncommon stress dream. ill always have dreams about having various problems with my fish tank

me, autistic, so horny I could explode: I miss rules and tasks

if we had a universal basic income program i would do all the bookkeeping for it at no cost just to make sure it kept functioning. not for altruistic reasons, my math autism brain just Craves Finance

i wholeheartedly believe in the idea that people would still want to work if we had a universal basic income. i am unfortunately a terrible spokesperson for it because if you gave me enough money to cover rent and food i would spend every day playing video games, drawing fictional characters kissing and slapping my meat. but in theory i know there are people who like having a job. trust.
