Local Old Man Finally Gets New Clothes

Found several packs' worth of pokemon cards strewn across a target parking lot and took a pic to show my friends without realizing how much my outfit elevated the scene to "aftermath of a wizard duel"

I made this same joke in my head with Sonic but Crash Bandicoot is the superior joke.

Hi! If you’re flying with a wheelchair anytime soon,

please let me give you some tips from my experience!

1. Before every flight/between every offload & onload: take pictures of your wheelchair from all angles and make sure you can see the airport in the background!

— this is KEY to have evidence in case something gets broken and you have to open a case.

2. Add a luggage tag to your wheelchair so it is identifiable.

3. If you have layovers/if your wheelchair needs to be returned to aircraft door; you have to make it so clear a toddler could understand.

• Example: extra label on your physical wheelchair saying so, ask at gate, ask flight attendant beginning of flight for it to return, remind attendant when landing to call for it to for sure return.

— the orange wheelchair tag has not proven enough for many people, making me lose my wheelchair twice in one trip even though my label was TRIPLE CHECKED at the gates. Write it on a strip of ducttape onto your chair I don’t care; mark it clear and loud.

4. If you have removable foot rests: take👏🏻them👏🏻off👏🏻

— these can get lost. Learned the hard way. Take them onto the plane with you. I’ve never been refused to bring these onto my flight along with carry-on/personal item.

5. Get those get push rim covers!!

You can get them for +- 20 bucks on Aliexpress/Amazon. Your push rims will slide across that storage space and it will get scuffed or even splinter.

BONUS: makes it an identifiable wheelchair! I can always clarify with mine ‘the red wheel one with all the stickers’

genuinely bonkers to me that there are people who genuinely believe that gender nonconformity is more accepted in intersex people, or that intersex people are seen as “biologically nonbinary” or whatever. it is so far from the truth that it’s clear they’ve never spoken to an intersex person in their life

personally, I’ve always been seen as “girl with unfortunate medical condition”, and I have been punished for not even trying to become a “normal girl”. the medical system assumes that the end goal is to appear as much like a dyadic woman as possible, regardless of my own identity (as a nonbinary person). regular interaction with systems that are designed to enforce and reinforce the sex binary does in fact not make it easier to be outside of that binary in all possible senses. we are held to ridiculous standards of conformity

but yeah, sure. I’m totally allowed to be “biologically nonbinary”. that’s definitely how it works in all cases

Losing my mind over this

you know the piece of art in my last rb made me realize why i dislike most disability related art. and it's that a large portion of it (especially on here) has messaging about ableism. like in the art itself it will have quotes regarding ableism. which is cool and fine, but i am SO tired of the constant trauma and reminders of trauma around my physical disabilities. for once i want to see someone like me just exist. i want to see them happy and peaceful.

it reminds me of how people finally started to view LGBTQ trauma p*rn movies. we as queer people are traumatized constantly. ENOUGH media about queer trauma. where is the queer JOY?

i feel exactly the same about disability portrayed in media/art and otherwise. where is the JOY?
