INFO - LIST FOR TRANSABLED AID ACCESS

A list of discreet access of assistive aids , ways to hide assistive aids , and euphoria inducing replacements .

Where to get assistive aids ?

01 , An obvious choice would be online shopping , although discreet shopping can be a bit difficult . Buying many things at once so you get a big / couple of packages could be a way to not turn any eyes , especially now that the holidays are coming up . " But I live with people who have the tendency of opening my packages " , there are a couple of options of what you can do - use a p.o box or locker service ( ex: amazon locker will send you an email with pickup instructions ) , choosing a specific delivery time of when you are only home / you have time to be the first one to pick it up ( tip : have delivery notifications on so you can be the first one to receive it ) , have delivery instructions to specify where to put the package ( ex : behind a pot plant , under the steps , etc ) , have it delivered to your friends / work . " But big shopping sites aren't safe for me " , Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist could be a better option for you , may be also safer as you can request the person selling you the item to make it discreet / can also be on the cheaper end , as they tend to be used . It can also be safer on the end of simply picking it up , making it so that there isn't any sort of electronic transaction that can be seen on a bank / phone receipt . 02 , Thrifted / Yard sales are also a good option - not only is it generally more discreet , allowing you to take it home by simply putting it in your bag without any other notice , but it's also generally cheaper , seeing that often times its used items still in a somewhat good condition . " What / where do I look for ? " , I would often suggest Goodwill , as they tend to have a wider range of mobility aids . You can also find them at your local small shops - try calling ahead and asking if they have anything , as they mostly will have more time to look through their storage . " How do I know it's worth it ? " , shopping out is a greater option as you can test out if the aid is good for you . When shopping for aids , test if they are sturdy , if they are the right size for you / there is any ability to diy fix it to your measurements , and how you would be able to put it away / hide it .

When it comes to what sort of aid is the most discreet : Canes : foldable canes are the most discreet , they are compact and are able to be carried in a bag . Double use canes , such as umbrella canes , are also discreet in the sense of being able to play it off as just an umbrella . Rollator : also good to consider a foldable rollators / walkers , ones that also have a seat can be passed off as just portable seats . Wheelchairs : Wheelchairs , unless you live in a spacious area without any judging eyes , are hard to turn discreet . While folding wheelchairs are a thing , plus lightweight ones - like most wheelchairs , they are expensive , and often are badly fitted / uncomfortable . ++ temporary replacements are a better option . Hearing Aids : Hearing Aids kept in their case can very easily be passed out as to be wireless earbuds / there are many hearing aids that resemble simple ear buds. Although , Hearing Aids bought online aren't the most reliable , and may be even dangerous - so temporary / thrifted replacement is a better option .

Where do I hide my aids if I am in an unsafe environment ?

While hiding things from the people you live with can be draining , it is still suggested for your safety .

01 , Folding Aids - Any aid that is able to be neatly folded and easily stored is the best when it comes to hiding . Placing them in bags in also the best , as you are able to take them out once you leave your place . Another way would be having a designated spot outside your place , where you can easily access it once you are out . More ways of hiding them : in drawers , unused umbrella holders , under your mattress , in coat hoodies , old shoe boxes .

02 , Aids with Wheels - While trickier , definitely able . The biggest suggestion is to have folding versions . You can fold them and store in the back of your closet along the wall . You can put it on the frame of your bed and put a mattress over it . If you have a rug , putting it specifically near / under your bed , and then the aid right under the rub can also be an option . If you have a dresser , sliding it between the wall and the dresser's side can help . On top of closets can also be good . When needing to store it for outside use , big portfolios could fit them . 03 , Hearing Aids - Probably the easiest to hide as they resemble ear buds . Although getting custom / decorated cases can be good for disguising them . Nonetheless , if needed , hiding them in small pockets of backpacks , coat pockets , pencil cases can be extra security . " What if I immediately need to hide something for my safety ? " , when opening your drawer - look past the drawer / take it out , you will see that there is room on the inside of the frame , even with the drawers fully closed . You can throw any smaller sized aid in that space , and then simply take out the drawers to take it back when ready . Another way for more bigger aids - take out all of the drawers from a dresser , put the aid inside , then put the drawers back in . If the back of your dresser is a softer material that's able to be cut , cut a ⊏ shape so that it creates a flap , put your aid in and tape the flap , put your dresser back up on the wall - the flap is an easier access than taking out all drawers . Although if you feel like you are in immediate danger for having an assistive aid in your home , prioritize your safety and take the aid out of your home . You are worth more than something that you will be 100% able to get back in the future < 3

DIY - ING

Everyone should be able to have access to assistive aids - even when it comes to creating their own .

Folding Crutches . ( need to already have simple crutches ) Cane out of yardsticks . ++ easier , You can make a cane by taking hard pvc pipe , sealing the bottom + adding a stopper ( shaped rubber or foam ) , while at the top you cut out to sides of a handle - a top and bottom , glue it with hot glue and attach it.

While it may not be as sturdy - it's still a good alternative .

More affordable assistive aid shopping :

essentailaids.com , affordable canes / crutches / walkers - lots of accessories , has wheelchairs too .

mobilityshop.co.uk , also affordable AND a huge range , so you have some options . Also offers accessories and some more simpler accessibility aids .

argos.co.uk , on the more pricier end yet still quite affordable , also offers joints support and braces .

abilitysuperstore.com , while not as affordable as other sites , still has a pretty decent price range - but has way more options to offer .

Hey, do you want to learn how to play VHS tapes in the year 202X?

I know this is my art blog, but it has come to my attention that some of you are too young to have experienced the joys of the Video Home System in its prime. Come hither so I can teach you and we can embrace the beauty of physical media together. If you have a thrift store and a TV, this process should work for you.

Step 1: Get a VCR ($4-$15)

DO NOT BUY EXPENSIVE VCR/COMBO SETS FROM THE INTERNET!

The ones you find on sites like eBay and Etsy are insanely overpriced and might not even work. Instead, find a Goodwill, Savers, or independent thrift store near you and go to the electronics section. There’s a good chance they’ll have at least one VCR. If they don’t, try a different shop. You can also check local online marketplaces, yard sales, etc.

Good things to look for:

4 (or more) Heads — Heads are the things that actually read the tape. The more heads you have, the better your picture is going to be.

Auto Tracking — Poor tracking can create a rolling picture, which is a pain to fix. An auto tracking VCR does that work for you.

Pre-2000 — After 2000, electronics started being mass produced with plastic casings and cheap parts. VCRs made after this time are a whole lot easier to break. Ideally, you want something from the late 80s to mid 90s.

Well-known brands — Sony, Toshiba, etc. Japanese manufacturers tend to have the best quality. Early Emersons are nice too.

Generally good condition — If there’s a bullet hole in the case, it’s probably best to pass on. A bit of dust isn’t an issue, but major damage isn’t a good sign. If you can, plug the machine into a power outlet in the store and see if it even turns on.

Head cleaning indicator — Not something you *need*, but I find it nice to have. You’ll want to use a head cleaning tape when the indicator starts flashing.

This is the one I’ll be using for the sake of this guide. This is an old Emerson that I picked up from Goodwill for $7.95. (Notice the five price tags they slapped on top.)

Step 2: Get Some Tapes (¢10-$1)

This is the fun part. Almost every thrift store will have some VHS tapes, usually near the books/DVDs/records. I’ve seen them as expensive as a dollar, but some stores will just give them away for free. I suggest buying a few movies you like, plus one or two shitty tapes to test out your VCR with.

You may also find 20 different copies of Titanic in every store. This is a normal occurance.

Remember to check the condition of any tape you plan on putting in your machine. If the spool looks moldy, you *can* try to clean it, but you’ll need another VCR to do so. If the tape looks wrinkled or otherwise damaged, you can still probably play it, but it will look and sound a lot rougher than you should expect. If the casing is damaged, I wouldn’t risk trying to put it in your VCR at all.

Remember: VHS tapes stopped being produced commercially in 2006. Most tapes you find aren’t going to be in the best shape, because they’re all a few decades old. (Sometimes, though, you will come across a tape with an excellent picture, good sound quality, and subtitles! The Mummy tape that I own is near perfect.)

Step 3: Connecting the VCR to Your TV

For this step, you’re going to want a coaxial cable and a set of RCA cables (the red, yellow, and white ones). If your TV doesn’t have an RCA input, you’ll also need an RCA-to-HDMI converter. If your TV also doesn’t have an HDMI input for whatever reason, you’re shit out of luck.

You’ll plug these cables into the “out” or “out to tv” connection on your VCR, then plug the other end into the back of your TV.

Note: Not all VCRs have right audio (the red one)! That’s fine. Just leave it hanging free. The left audio (white) is your mono audio, so you’ll just have that instead.

Lastly, put the channel switch on the back of your VCR on 3 or 4. I keep mine on 3. This is the number for the channel you’ll go to on your TV to actually see what the VCR is playing.

Step 4: Setting up the TV

I use a little Roku TV, which is surprisingly steady to set up for VCR input:

Settings ➡️ TV Inputs ➡️ Live TV

From here, you’ll either be prompted to scan for channels OR you’ll have to select “scan for antenna channels”. It will ask you if you want to have channels 3 and 4, to which you’ll say “yeah, I do want channels 3 and 4” and click the button that lets you have channels 3 and 4. If you don’t have an antenna, you can skip the other prompts.

I haven’t done this on any other type of TV, but the process should be pretty similar: get yourself to channels 3 and 4 through whatever means necessary.

Once you’re there, it should look like this. Sad, blank, and lonely. But not for long.

Step 5: Playing Your Tapes

This is where things can go really really well or really really wrong. If everything is hooked up, you can grab your shitty tape and insert it into the VCR.

(Make sure there isn’t anything else in there first, though. Some people don’t remove their precious Titanic copies before donating these things.)

You’ll want a tape that’s fairly clean, with no casing damage, and already rewound (black tape in the left window). To insert the tape into a front-loading VCR, slowly and firmly slide it into the slot. Once it’s most of the way in, the machine should “grab” it and pull it all the way inside. You’ll hear the machine make some noises.

(If those noises are really crunchy, that’s probably not a good thing. Troubleshoot with your favorite search engine or head over to r/VHS to see if anyone can help you.)

Once your machine is only making some clunky whirring sounds, it should be safe to press the play button. Enjoy watching your favorite films in the least pleasant format possible. Don’t forget to rewind em when you’re done.

If you have issues, the freaks over at r/VHS tend to be really helpful, but you can also find decade-old YouTube videos that might answer your questions too.

Monster High Reimagined: Purrsephone and Meowlody Stripe Character Bio/Redesign

Meowlody and Purrsephone Stripe (She-Her/She-Her)

(Japanese-British)

Bakeneko and Nekomata children of the Stripe family.

An inseparable duo of cat yokai considered by most of their family to be vapid troublemakers obsessed with Jfashion and trashy music, small wonder why they've fallen in with their adoptive cousin toralei and joined her punk band to boot! Sent to monster high as to make something of themselves beyond shopping for that next trendy outfit (and to keep Toralei in check) ,there's more to these cats than either they or their family know, maybe monster high can really be the place to bring all that potential out…

Likes: Amekaji gyaru,climbing stuff and bouldering and catnip tea/Rokku gyaru, baking and lazy days/Jpop and making spooktoks.

Dislikes: Their grandfather's demanding personality,cucumbers and lily flowers (allergic) /doctors appointments, losing track of stuff, and being away from her sister for too long/water and dogs.

Killer style: the twins won't settle for nothing less than only the most outrageous of gyaru fashion with an alternative edge, that means the most stylish streetwear, big,elaborate hair and a metric ton of accessories,with meowlody loving rokku gyaru whilst her sister prefers amekaji gyaru.

Pet Peeve: Being considered to be shallow idiots just because of their taste in fashion. it's bad enough that their parent’s tend to join in with the rest if their family in doing this,and the idea that the students could join in too with it spooks the sisters.

Freaky Flaw: Not letting themselves be heard. The girls were raised in a household with high expectations and expected compliance and its proven hard to shake, even with the arrival of toralei and her take nothing from nobody sense of doing stuff. There's also the factor of the ostracisation toralei faces for being loud and disruptive, and the twins innate struggle between sticking with their black sheep cousin or, as bad as it sounds throwing her under the bus for the security of family, although they thankfully choose the former more often than not,or just let toralei do the talking for them…

Spooky Secret: meowlody has undiagnosed adhd, but her and her sister keep their lips shut regarding it due to the fear of it being used as further ammunition towards the girls lack of booksmarts, it doesn't help that it really does impact meowlodys ability to learn,particularly in learning to speak english.

Dream job: To first and foremost become spooktok famous for their freaky fabulous gyaru style! Aside from this, simply getting out of the way of their traditionalist-to-a-fault grandfather and being in the hissfits is more on the twins' minds right now more than anything else,sooo... influencers, basically.

Five Fearsome facts:

When possible (including when they want to talk just amongst themselves) the twins speak Japanese,both because its easier on meowlodys adhd and because very few of their classmates know Japanese themselves, making it very useful if you dont want to someone to know what your saying about them.

Since toralei isn't the best with social media sites and generally dismissive of most tech post 2010, purrsephone handles the hissfits social media accounts in addition to her own,some would say to the point of being among the most chronically online ghouls in school,although her sister isn't far behind.

Both twins are terrified of water as cats often tend to be, in between being caked in gal makeup and weighed down with electronic whatnot, the pair are well aware they aren't suited well for aquatic activities and usually stick to the shore/poolside. (They especially hate it when their little cousins try and splash them,don't they know how much their foundation cost!)

Meowlody enjoys baking spooky-sweet treats for her bandmates (and to trend on her spooktok). She's very good at it,even if she sometimes worries about getting muddled in the more complicated recipes (and Toralei's unhelpful suggestions to eyeball stuff if she isn't quite sure), thankfully her twin is more than willing to keep her grounded and help out if needed…

Cat yokai have a strong history and skill with illusion-based magic and the twins are no exception. Their favourite trick to play is disguising themselves as each other,good for playing pranks on your cousin, tricking folks and for teasing each other when out shopping for new outfits. Those wise to their trickery are aware to check how many tails a particular twin has, as they often forget to disguise them… (Meowlody, a Nekomata,has two whilst Purrsephone, a Bakeneko only has one)

The third of seven profiles done, this time one for the werecat twins to finally join the Toralei profile I did a while back,take a look down below for some of the usual reasoning and inspiration behind these redesigns.

In-keeping with my opinions on werecat monster type in monster high (in that I think that it's lazy and unimaginative) instead these two are yokai. Specifically a Bakeneko And Nekomata,two of the more malevolent sort of Kabiyō cat yokai (which fun fact also includes the more benevolent Maneki-Neko,which is what those lucky waving cat figurines and the pokemon meowth are based on!)

Why did I choose a yokai. Well tbh I believe that despite the sheer diversity of them as a monster type (rivalling the greco-roman diversity more commonly seen at mh) they're basically nonexistent in MH and I think that's a damn shame, not to mention the fact that I just felt that anthropomorphised housecat-based monsters fit the twins better than many of the more bestial alternatives, and makes Toralei stand out more amongst her adoptive family as a wild weretiger in a family of essentially sapient housecats.

Also one last aside on the yokai thing, although along with Jackson and Holt being half oni this brings our total yokai-based kids to 4 (in a sense), trust me, considering im expanding upon this sort of thing later in this continuity, you ain't seen nothing yet...

Anyways, hope you enjoyed this profile and see you next week for another!

Smart Shopping Strategies: Electric Kettle and OTG Price Check for Savvy Consumers

In this era where electronic commerce prevails, procuring optimal pricing for domestic appliances such as electric kettles and portable ovens necessitates certain cunning as a consumer. Since quoted figures differ substantially from vendor to vendor, whether online or within traditional retail establishments, making an informed comparison before selecting a product is vital. The author provides suggestions to guide shoppers in exercising astuteness when seeking these popular kitchen tools commonly utilized in Indian households. Adopting such an approach may aid one in acting prudently as a purchaser.

Check Electric Kettle Prices from Multiple Stores

Electric kettles have become a staple in Indian household kitchens for quickly boiling water for tea, coffee, instant noodles and more. Basic electric kettle price with 1-1.5 litre capacity starts from around Rs. 800 and goes up to Rs. 2000 or more for models with temperature control features, keep warm functions, etc.

Instead of buying the first model you see, wise consumers should check prices across major online sites. as well as local appliance stores. Don’t just compare MRPs; look at the best-discounted price offered. This small effort can save you several hundred rupees on the same kettle model. 

Consider Functionality Along with the Price

While electric kettles under Rs. 1000 may seem tempting, they often compromise on safety mechanisms like auto shut-off and overheating protection. Spend a little more for better reliability and energy efficiency. Higher-priced electric kettles also usually come with keep-warm features that keep the water hot for up to 30 minutes. This can be handy when making several cups of beverage.

Evaluate Online Vs Offline Deals  

In general, online prices tend to be lower due to lower overheads. However, watch for occasional sales at local stores that may match or even beat online offers. Consider other factors like convenience, the ability to check products physically before buying, payment modes, delivery charges, etc., impact the overall cost.

Look at OTG Options Carefully

Unlike electric kettles with fairly standard functionality, OTGs can come in many sizes, designs, and feature variants. A basic 12-15 litre OTG price can be between Rs. 3000-4000. Higher capacity 25-30 litre models typically cost Rs. 6000 upwards but are ideal for larger households or those who bake frequently.   

When comparing different OTG models and prices, consider aspects like heating elements (coil vs sheet), temperature range, additional modes like grills, stainless steel cavities, timer functions, etc. All these add functionality that may be worth extra spending over basic models. Leading brands for OTGs include Morphy Richards, Bajaj and Prestige.  

Hunt for OTG Deals Online  

Buying an OTG online allows consumers to easily compare models, prices, and reviews, ensuring they find the perfect appliance for their baking, toasting, and grilling needs with minimal effort. As a relatively new entrant in many Indian homes, OTGs are a product category on which online sites frequently offer discounts and coupons, often with 20-30% off or more. Watch for OTG combo deals, too, e.g., OTG + bakeware kit. Again, check prices across sites to find the best bargain. Offline discounts may be limited for OTGs as they are not a mass market yet.   

Read Reviews Before Deciding

With so many appliance models in the market, customer reviews provide valuable insights that can guide buying decisions. Check reviews on online shopping sites and independent consumer forums to identify recurring issues related to product performance, after-sales service, etc. This can help you zero in on the best-value products.

Avail of Payment & Delivery Incentives  

Many e-commerce platforms offer incentives linked to payment methods or delivery selections to attract online shoppers. Using a certain credit card may get a 10% instant discount, while opting for slower delivery over standard delivery may qualify you for cashback. See if you can utilize such offers to maximize savings on buying an electric kettle online or making an OTG purchase.  

Keep an Eye Out for Sales & Promotions

Shopping festivals are a great time to score attractive deals on kitchen appliances. Brand-specific sales also offer price drops and bundled promotions. Subscribe to online store newsletters so you are updated on upcoming sales events.

To obtain optimal pricing on domestic appliances such as electric kettles and OTG ovens, one must diligently investigate and compare alternatives. Although the most inexpensive option may appear superficially appealing, it proves prudent to make purchases judiciously, factoring in one’s particular usage requirements and financial situation when taking the long view. Allocating additional time to explore product offerings through both online and traditional retail channels can ultimately translate to considerable reductions in expenditure.

Share your story!

The FTC is seeking public comment on their proposed “Rule on Unfair or Deceptive Fees”. After our meeting with the FTC, we are excited about the rule because it will also protect creative indie sellers from unfair and deceptive fees from marketplaces. If the rule goes through, we hope to use it to combat Etsy’s forced off-site ads and other unfair practices.

Please take a moment to share your thoughts in a public comment, we want to make sure the perspective of creative indie sellers is represented!

We heard you:

We know that the seller member directory, and members-only parts of the website in general are a bit difficult to navigate. One of our first goals in 2024 is to update our membership with new software and far more features. Stay tuned for information on how to set up your profile on the new site!

What ISG needs right now:

While we’ve managed some amazing things with a very small budget, thanks to our amazing volunteers and open source software, we need more funding for 2024 to continue to grow and advocate on your behalf.

Please consider making a small donation to the Indie Sellers Guild. If half of our members donate just $5, we will raise enough funding for the next 6 months. Or you can buy one of our awesome merch items so you can represent the Guild and show off the work of your fellow artists. The Guild receives $5 from every merch purchase.

Thanks so much for your support!

E-Commerce

If we compare with our earlier life, had we ever thought that we would order the goods from mobile or electronic gadgets… all the work will be done with one click. But now we are shopping, ordering food, or getting various services while sitting at home.

It all happens due to the Internet and innovative technology.

The activity of buying or selling goods, services, and transmission of information, data, etc. using electronic mediums probably over the internet is E-Commerce.

E-commerce helps firms/businesses and customers save time and money. It enables the firm to get an online store and offer a wider range of customers other than their locality whereas customers get a range of products to choose from.

E-commerce varies based on its nature. A business model that lets businesses buy and sell things to other companies over the Internet comes under the Business-to-Business (B2B) model. In the Business-to-Consumer (B2C) model, buying and selling activities are done between the businesses and direct users. Similarly, there are other e-commerce models such as Business-to-Government (B2G), Consumer-to-Consumer (C2C), Consumer-to-Business (C2B), and Business-to-Business-to-Consumer (B2B2C), differ on their nature of buyer and seller.

We know that e-commerce is beneficial but, what if its website fails to convey messages, cannot allure traffic, or fails to increase sales?

Considering above all, every business requires certain essential features to make their e-commerce website the best and increase sales. The e-commerce website must be responsive, easy to use, and have attractive pages, a user-friendly structure, multiple payment options, 24x7 customer service, extensive product information, etc., these are the elements that drive customer traffic.

Other than the above features,

- Universal acceptance,

- Optimal pricing,

- Offering discounts and loyalty points,

- Multilevel security,

- Provide personalized services, sorting and filtering features as per the audience’s requirements,

- Easy to navigate product catalog,

- Smooth online order processing,

- Error-free transactions

- Hassle-free delivery system

HI IN YOUR RECENT POST YOU SAID YOU HAD A WALKMAN CD PLAYER?!?!?!?! I just wamma if you like,, found it somewhere? Like a thriftstore or something?

I have two. One I found at a flea market with the original remote and headphones that just needed to be cleaned. That’s the one I use. The other one (the blue one) I found at an estate sale, and I don’t use mainly because there’s corrosion in the battery port I never got around to cleaning yet.

But yeah they really aren’t super hard to find if you search around thrift stores/flea markets/garage sales/estate sales. They were common enough back in the day that a lot of people still have one or two just lying around in drawers and it’s just a matter of finding them. If you’re really searching, you can also try local Facebook market place or other sites like and pawn shops, just be aware of like online scammers and price gouging. Realistically you shouldn’t be spending more than around $20-30 for a good working one unless you’re buying some kind of collectors item and those aren’t really super common if we’re talking cd Walkman/discman

eBay can be fine too but kinda hit or miss in pricing. It’s really only super beneficial if you’re looking for a specific model for some reason, and honestly unless you’re like a collector or a level 1000 audiophile, the best cd walkman is gonna be whatever you can find that works for the lowest price. I would definitely suggest hunting for one locally before turning to eBay (which I say as someone who does sell on eBay). It’ll be more satisfying finding one than just buying off of eBay anyway

Other than that, if you’re looking (and I know you didn’t actually ask for advice but I’m just using this as my excuse to share information) avoid sites like Amazon and retrospeckt. Amazon will sell new no name portable cd players, and I would avoid those no matter where you find them. In general, just stick to older Sony ones. Quality wise in both build and sound is gonna be much better than the new no name brands (or the old no name brand ones). Some older ones of like actual brands can be fine too, like Panasonic, but avoid the Craigs and Jensens of the world. You can probably find an older Sony for the same price as a new no name one anyway.

And sites like Retrospeckt just straight up price gouge when it comes to retro electronics. Dont buy a cd player from them. Dont buy an iPod from them. Don’t buy a game boy from them. Their prices are ludicrous for what they’re offering and you are literally better buying from eBay at that point. Accessories and headphones and CDs and the like from them can be reasonably priced, but their prices for the actual tech is insane
