Misha, for slavic reasons, hung a carpet on the wall, and Herberta found a better use for it by hanging her posters on top. They save me from my upcoming exams…

I know it’s far from a one-size-fits-all issue and I’ve been beating this dead horse for years, but I’ll never not hate when people argue against calls for DIY and tutorial/tip sharing with “all this is actually ableist because disabled people can’t DIY.” Not “I personally am disabled and have difficulty with a lot of DIY or Die type stuff, which is why I’m pointing out these difficulties and calling for information;” very specifically “DIY or Die is ableist because there are hypothetical disabled people out there (not me) who I’d assume hate it as much as I do.” Trust me when I say you are helping absolutely no one by poisoning the convo just to deflect your own insecurity, inactivity, or lack of experience. We don’t need you to regurgitate unprompted excuses as to why we couldn’t possibly participate in DIY culture so we may as well not even try, we need you to spread and share information that makes the pursuit more safe and accessible. It’s not one-size-fits-all and there are billions of ways your disabilities can and will impact your experience, how difficult it is, and what is and isn’t possible, which is why we need to be having these conversations instead of shutting them down before they can even start. DIY is not as intimidating as most people set it up to be, and can be a phenomenal tool for disabled people who are more likely to have tighter finances, limited resources, and a need to extend the life of the things they wear/use.

My perspective on this is probably most impacted by limited hand mobility and extreme pain using them. I injure myself a lot! But same applies to like… chopping vegetables. Holding a pencil or a spoon. Using an oven, washing dishes, changing the sheets… mundane life with disabilities is already difficult and often unrewarding. Learning to create, solve problems, apply the skills you’ve gathered in unlikely places, and show off your work is extremely gratifying in comparison. Do whatever suits you best, but don’t let yourself miss out on something you’d genuinely like to be a part of due to preconceived notions about how it’ll go. I’m not denying that it is much harder to DIY while disabled, but that’s what makes every breakthrough such a unique source of pride and fulfillment.

First post hi! Im gonna mostly post my diys on here and some outfits. These pics have the bag im working on, my beanie, and my soda tab wallet chain! This outfit is called trying to stay warm when you live in florida and rarely experience winter. My summer outfits are much cooler, promise

[froggyforest]

i fixed my first wrist cruff that was literally falling apart because i refuse to throw it away 😇

i just dont know if i should put the studs back on or not 😭😭😭

heres how it was before

[froggyforest]

Finally someone said it

hey, dinguses and dingdongs

lace code is very much alive and you need to learn what it actually is

if it was truly dead, no one would fuckin talk about it

lace code is using colored laces, ladder laced on work boots, to signify political stances and punk status

there is very little debate about which color means what and it's basically exclusively online

here are the colors, to my knowledge ;; black - baby punk/new boots ; white - KKK ; red - nazi/fascist ; orange - n/a ; yellow - antifacist ; green - ecological activist ; blue - cop fighter/killer ; purple - queer/activist ; pink - feminist

these are the colors and meanings i've seen most often, that are offered in shops (aside from white and red, for obvi reasons), and/or are talked about the most in different punk spaces (online and offline)

while i have seen people try to reclaim red and white, please don't. while people can use context clues to tell that's what you're doing, it just muddies the waters so that actual nazis can wiggle their way into our spaces more than they already have. make them stand out like the sore thumbs they look like.
