Why do we even have stairs everywhere, surely it's easier on everyone's knees to go up ramps up to porches or hills or up to walking bridges. I can't imagine it's any harder to make a ramp out of concrete or what have you than stairs
Also for that matter stop making the disability ramps so long and winding that it takes more energy and time (and if you're using a cane or crutch, more steps) to get up to what ableds can get to in 5 seconds. Do you know how many times I've just opted to hobble up the steps with my cane because the long ass ramp would cause more pain and fatigue than the stairs? At the main entrance to the HOSPITAL??

it's easy to miss if you're able-bodied and extremely sheltered, but the fact that all architectural "accessibility" is designed with the (false) presumption that the disabled person in need of the accommodation will have an able bodied person to assist them, is a glaring oversight and failure of design, in my opinion
#vasira rambles#like those steep ramps for wheelchairs#idk if you've rolled a wheelchair uphill as the person in the wheelchair but it's an exhausting and difficult feat#but u can just slap a ramp onto a building and call it accessible#but it's only accessible if the wheelchair user has a motor on their chair or another person to assist#and that sucks#like ideally we all live to die of old age right#statistically in that case we will all become disabled at some point#but the way architecture and city planning is built has very little regard for this#and we are all worse off for it

sequel to my other post about erik's plastic cube jail you can tell days of future past is The Divorce Movie because for eriks concrete prison that shit is absolutely NOT wheelchair accessible like charles is NOT visiting this man !!!!!!!
#xmen#xmen dofp#xmen days of future past#magneto#professor x#erik lehnsherr#charles xavier#cherik#divorce mention its cherik now#snap chats#oh theyre so divorced ...#i think id throw up laughing though if they also designed a tony hawk esque wheelchair ramp like they did for his food tray 💀💀#charles coming down the ramp and pulling the sickeest corkscrew like 'how have you been old friend'#but yeah ...... guess most people would assume no one's getting any visitors after killing the present. by accident 😔#sorry im not over that still like wdym erik accidentally assassinated jfk#'but snap maybe they just arent accepting visitors for people who killed the president' likely theory !! however mine's funnier#side note i love peter's lil smile once he meets up with logan and charles in the elevator after The Concrete Prison#and how it Immediately falls once charles clocks erik 💀#peter such a delight honestly like the lil look he gave the guard i cant 😭bro just found out he had two dads 💀#but moving on now. im gonna resume my xmen 92 binge watch

Working out the logistics for idril's mobility aids
I'm thinking she has crutches for when she's using her feet (+ a baby sling for earendil since she can't carry him while using the crutches). she can lean on one for long enough to smack someone (cough maeglin cough) with the other, but can't get around for an extended period of time with just the feet. on worse days or when she's not wearing her prosthetics she has a wheelchair and a maid to push her around.
-- disclaimer: i am not disabled, if anything here wouldn't work please tell me! --
#silm#silmarillion#idril#i imagine gondolin would be really good with accessiblity given their population#half the population has helcaraxe-related injuries and the other half has morgoth-related injuries#all the buildings have wheelchair ramps and the streets are perfectly smooth#there are benches everywhere because maybe one in three citizens has fully functioning legs#turgon likes the aesthetic of towers so he invented elevators to go with them

god you know the bar (for media in general, not a targeted mention) is so fucking low it's underground considering i was relieved that lydia was still in her wheelchair
#shes still in her wheelchair! she showed up and helped kick ass! ragh made ramps for her and there wasnt any kind of implication about that!#god like yeah it's the bare minimum but it's fucking nice to see regardless.#d20#dimension 20#fantasy high junior year#fhjy#fantasy high junior year spoilers#fhjy spoilers#i don't doubt that bleem/d20/dropout would've asked sensitivity consultants about that but man it's hard to not expect disappointment

Hey so I’ve mentioned this a lot of times on my main blog, but I wanted to put this out over here since it is Hallow’s Eve. I always give out little tchotchkes on Halloween along with candy. This year, I’ve completely switched over to 100% doohickeys and doodads— think mechanical pencils, shaped erasers, little notebooks, squishes, vampire teeth and spiders rings and all. It started years ago in college when I signed up for a dorm Halloween event where kids from an area that was too dangerous to really trick or treat through got bussed in to trick or treat at our dorm. I bought some candy and dollar store Halloween themed stuff with what i had. And you know what the kids went ape shit over?
Motherfucking. Mechanical. PENCILS!!
These kids could not get enough of them. They literally went “PENCILS??!” I had never seen kids get so hyped up for pencils lmao. They were the first things to go. Candy is fleeting; the little pencils you can bring to school to flex are eternal, until you inevitably lose one of the refill parts and then they aren’t but listen, in that one moment they are infinite. And its nice thinking that maybe some kids who don’t always have access to school supplies not only get them, but get them in fun shapes and designs.
Anyway. I recommend people to give out fun stuff like this not just because kids seem to genuinely enjoy them, but also because there’s this thing called the Teal Pumpkin Project here in America. You can put out a teal pumpkin to show that you are giving away non-candy items and sign your address up so parents of children with allergies know that there are houses their kids can safely and happily trick or treat at! It’s a win-win! Plus, if you accidentally bought too much, it’s not like candy— just pack it away, pencils and fidget spinners will be good next year, too! :)
#its such an easy and fun thing to do#and it helps make Halloween accessible for some kids who might otherwise not be able to participate#i always think about stuff like that#my step-grandparents had a ramp built at their house for them#but one great unintended side effect is that they always got a lot of children in wheelchairs to their house on Halloween#who were so so excited they could go up to the door and ring the bell for once :’)#so like i always try to think of ways to maybe include people who might have trouble otherwise when i can!#and this is such a little but easy to do change#i like to source my stuff from the dollar store targets dollar area and amazon#i bet party supply stores (think party favor bag stuff) would work great too#so. if you have time tomorrow maybe run on over to the dollar store during your lunch hour#grab some random little things. kids will go crazy. maybe you’ll brighten someone’s day

stop carpeting stores! I swear it's so gross, stains never come out, and my wheelchair can't move an inch on the filthy ground. I went to the mall with my partner today. We always enter through the arcade for the: handicap parking and restroom. But it takes extra long to get through due to the carpet. Like I have no momentum until we get to the very small area of tile.
Honestly that's not my only pet peeve its also improperly paved sidewalks. That are tilted, hard to move on, jagged, a safety risk in more than one way. Curbs that are hard to get over leaving me in the middle of the road before during traffic.
#Oh#I was going to fast down the ramp#And instead of using my wheels to slow#I grabbed the rail#And my hand landed weird and it was completely numb for a few minutes lol#Than painful#Good now#angry birds#angry cripple#cripple punk#disabled#disability#disabilities#chronic illness#chronic disability#chronically ill#wheelchair user#wheelchair#ambulatory wheelchair user#batman

Sun can be lenient, sometimes
Inspired by however anyone is supposed to get up and down this "ramp":
#post let luce#dcamv#fnaf sun#my art#going to tag this with#ableism#just in case bc ik some ppl might not wanna see shitty accessibility attempts#esp during disability pride month#this ramp has just been haunting me#it was one of many many many of the sort up the hill#i honestly dont think even having someone push the wheelchair is feasible here#plus the railing right there is. hm
