I put a mini squishmallow on my cane! Introducing Austin the Avocado! My boyfriend got him for me. I also have my loop earplugs because those are an essential for me.
I am actually very sensitive to noise in general. Especially high pitched loud noises. I get headaches very easily and am diagnosed with migraines. That's why I wear headphones and/or ear plugs. I definitely recommend the loop earplugs!
I also use Picsart to edit my photos and add cute stickers 🫶
Edit - if anyone wants the link to my handle cover, comment and I'll send it!!

We've reached a new layer of not respecting mobility aid users/not seeing us as people.
Today in my class I was using my wheelchair and going towards someone to ask a question. They jumped up and grabbed someone else's cane from "in my way" and began to move it. I said no it's ok, and they said something like don't worry I'll put it back. I said no again and they returned it to where it was. I asked my question and went back to my spot. The person who's cane it was was sitting right there. They could have moved it if they thought it was in my way or if I asked them to.
A minute later I heard the cane fall over. It hadn't fallen before that but of course the abled person who moved it didn't know how to balance it properly.
Don't touch people's aids. Both myself and the other disabled person were able to handle the situation if necessary, but it didn't need to be handled because there wasn't a problem.

Absolutely. And another thing to think about. Mobility Aids are like an extension of ones body. So like they said, how would you feel if someone came up to you and started moving your legs around? Uncomfortable? Yeah. Exactly the point
Btw I'm not sure if I'm physically disabled myself?? I know that sounds weird but idk if POTS counts and I have mental Disabilities (which of course are invisible disabilities) but yeah. I mean I'm getting a cane soon and forearm crutches? Idk but ya know what I mean
i was on the bus with my mum and i was using my rollator. i had it folded up while i was seated so others could get by. when we went to get off at our stop, my mum grabbed my rollator from my hands and try to get off the bus with it before i could. i had to shout to her that i need it to walk because i DO.
DONT TOUCH MOBILITY AIDS unless given verbal consent. DONT try to “help” disabled people by touching/grabbing/moving mobility aids without being asked.
how would you like it if someone started grabbing and moving your damn legs around?

Attention:
Don't touch someone's mobility aid if they didn't ask for help.
If someone has a mobility aid and they drop it/can't reach it from where they are, just ask if they would like you to grab it for them.
Example:
Me: *engaged in grabbing stuff from my locker*
My cane: *falls dramatically to the floor*
My friend: *reaches for it*
Me: I got it, I got it, I GOT IT.
My friend: Well, what if I want to get it for you.
Me: I don't care. It's my cane. Don't touch it.
Even if you're trying to be helpful, mobility aids are often an extension of one's body, so just as you shouldn't grab someone's leg and help them along if they tripped, you shouldn't grab someone's mobility aid if they haven't asked you to. If it's in your way, just ask them if they can move it or if you can move it for them, then wait for them to respond and act accordingly.

I was in the car on my way home from the doctor's when I saw you had posted part 10. I ended up ranting and raving for the 20 minute drive to my support worker, and then some when I showed her the comics when we got home. Since I spent so much time appreciating your stuff today, I thought I would say something about it to you.
I absolutely love everything about it. I am genuinely so, so excited to see where the lore surrounding non-humans is going. I am so excited for all of this, I love all of this.
I cannot pick a single favourite thing about this, it is all too good, but I will say I did cry like a little baby when I first came across this comic because of Scar being disabled. I have never, ever seen a disabled hero who's just a disabled guy. No powers that completely negate any disability, just a type of mobility aid that is actually treated as a mobility aid.
Not to mention, Scar is the one Grian has a crush on. I do not believe I have ever seen a queer story with a disabled guy being sought-after, or just any story of a disabled person being desireable. Seeing that cute, classic 'Oh his fingers brushed mine' moment happening with a character who is like me makes me indescribably happy.
I just see so much of myself in this Scar. So, so very much. We even have similar body types, and that makes me so happy as well.
Your art has just touched me in such a beautiful, meaningful way. I just thought that I should mention it, to let you know that you have made someone so so happy.
Thank you so much.
Just as you share your experience with me I want to return the gesture
Your comment and experience was such a heartwarming and fulfilling. I've always wanted to make stories for people to feel seen and comforted, and to believe I have gotten to achieve this kind of responses truly warms my heart and gives me so much hope
Art school have convinced me that I don't really have something to offer, that I dont have anything to say or that what I do doesnt really impact in any way. So your comment truly moves me.
To have the chance to write this story with my best friend and share it with you all has truly being amazing
Thank you for hearing and seeing my art <3
#doody ask!!#i got a little emotional but thats why im an artist#i literally cried at midnight when i got the message#tkm <3

Needed this
My cane has adjustable height but that makes it extra noisy and I frequently find myself trying to be quieter with it. I also feel awkward and sometimes self conscious walking through narrow paths between people or any other time my cane is in the way, but I don't usually feel that way when it's my body in the way.
My mobility aid is there to help me and is not something to feel bad about.
hey, you're allowed to take up space and make noise
it's okay if your mobility aids click or squeak
it's okay if you need more space to pass because of your aids or the way you walk
it's okay if you need to ask more questions
it's okay if you need to ask for help with things, either for physical or mental limitations
it's okay if the way your body is means you need more room
it's okay to exist and to take up space
ily /p

WELCOME TO MY BLOG!!
ABOUT ME
my name is miles/ellie/mimi! i'm 20 yrs old! this is my therian/otherkin/fictionkin specific sideblog!
i used to be @silly-catpup but i deactivated! i'm starting over here :3 i figured out a lot more things about my identity anyway, so!!
more in depth about me and boundaries under the cut to avoid a long post ..
im very queer and very not quiet about it. i'm a transmasc bigender lesbian girlboy. no, you do not need an explanation of my identity (unless you are really nice about it, of course!)
im a polytherian shapeshifter! my theriotypes are; sparkledog, snow leopard, and cat.
i am a physical therian! if that bothers you, block me forever. we are real and we are not going anywhere!!
me being a sparkledog really has nothing to do with a personal aesthetic that i have. im not necessarily a "scene kid" at all, im just a really colorful dog that looks like 2008 threw up all over it.
my theriotypes are mainly anthropomorphic, but don't always have to be.
i'll probably make a rentry relating to my fictotypes someday but today is not that day
i am low-med support autistic, physically disabled, and an AAC and mobility aid user!
BOUNDARIES
i dont tolerate bigotry of any kind. this includes people who are hateful to queer identities that they personally don't understand.
fatphobia dni, seriously!!!!! i am fat, and while i am happy with my body, that doesn't mean fatphobia cant hurt me. im extremely sensitive to the topic. eating is also a very VERY sensitive topic and i will not be making posts about my eating habits nor will i engage in convos about it (unless its a silly question like my favorite snack!)
mean and judgmental therians do NOT touch my blog im serious! i dont care that you find 12 year old tiktok therians annoying or that you think physical alterhumanity is fake! stay the fuck off my blog or i'll bite you!
minors are free to follow and interact with my posts but please stay out of my dms thanky!!!! (i also will not be mutuals w you or follow back)
shit i dont interact with because i do not care: syscourse, shipping discourse (pro vs anti shit), or any variants of those things!! keep that shit off my blog because i literally dont care about either of them (and dont consider me "neutral" on either of them because of that, either. im not neutral im just not involved.)

deaf Craig who refuses to wear hearing aid. Tahts what I got for you
his ass is too lazy to learn sign language so he just struggles listening and speaks weirdly. (Half of the kids don’t know what he is talking about)
Tweek gets him hearing aid, Craig knows it’s expensive so he uses it.
the end (I don’t know how to write fanfiction thanks for being the person k go to to infordumb))))
(its been 4 days sry ib kicking my ass lmfao) (yes i have much older asks but shhh)
DEAF CRAIG IS VERY YES ACTUALLY
okok his ass would indeed NOT learn sign because hes an idiot but he WOULD however make his own sign language. middle fingers mostly. but yeah made up stuff only lmao
im not sure if hes deaf since forever cuz then the deaf accent does make a LOT of sense, or if its something he gets later in life cuz then his voice would stay mostly-normal? i think??? (im very not in touch with D/deaf community for someone who goes to sign class... help)
but also this asshole he will be very much a dick about it. like. he will purposefully not listen to people. and if they're like "craig are you hearing me????" he will be like. no actually. i am not. who knows if hes genuine but it works and its hilarious to him the little bitch<3
ALSO AGAIN HC THAT DEPENDS ON IF HE WAS BORN DEAF- bc if im not wrong theres actually many ppl who were born deaf and just. dont wanna hear shit. they dont want hearing aids nor cochlear implants they're just chilling and thats a-okay :3 however within ppl who became deaf later in life this happens a lot less so idkkkkk
((like. the point where he dont wanna use hearing aids but in the end he does anyway is what's kinda... idk icky to me. its not like mobility aids where without them the person would probably collapse (or not! arm protheses my behated), its just. hearing. if he's better off not doing it, maybe that's fine too. but idk. i am again not close with D/deaf community so))
BUT THIS IS VERY COOL STILL AND IM VERY HAPPY IM YOUR GO-TO INFODUMP PERSON BC I LOVE INFODUMPS SO MUCH<33
#south park#south park hcs#craig tucker#disability headcanon#please D/deaf ppl interact and tell me how badly i messed up... 😭

I wasn't gonna make a post about this anymore because it resolved, but I still want to talk about it. My writing style is long and rambly so TL;DR at the bottom.
Yesterday was the first day of the college course I'm taking (I'm getting my master's in Special Education if anyone's interested). It's a class from 5pm until 8pm, and most days it's after a full day of work for me, so I've elected to mainly use my wheelchair. But since I'm ambulatory I decided to bring my cane in case I needed the bathroom or something so I don't have to struggle with the doors. This classroom of course didn't have a desk without a chair attached so as we sat in a circle I put my bag on the desk behind me and rested my cane against it.
Anyone who uses a cane knows that they fall over. A lot. I kept telling both the professor and the students next to me to please just leave it on the floor when it falls over but of course they didn't listen. They had to "help" the poor cripple. Well class ends and I grab my bag and head home. When I get to my house I realize that I don't have my cane with me to help me down the stairs to my apartment. It wasn't with my bag when I left class so I forgot it. I tell my partner that I'm going back to campus to get the cane I forgot. This is my only cane. I use it any time I leave the house. Even if I'm planning on using my wheelchair when I get somewhere I like to have the cane in the car.
In the 20min it took me to drive home and back the cane is gone. I look all over the first floor of the building without an aid since I expected it to be quick. I sit down and email the professor and campus lost and found before making my way back to the car.
AN HOUR LATER, an hour and a half after the class has ended, I get an response email from the professor and a girl from the class. The girl saw that I forgot it (I still don't know where it had been) and took it hoping to see me before I left. She probably felt like she was doing her good deed for the day. Except I have a medical exception letting me park in the teacher parking lot right outside the building, and she probably brought it to the student parking across campus in the other direction. And then when she didn't find me she didn't reach out!
If she had wanted to be helpful she should have stayed in the classroom with it, or gone back to class when she couldn't find me, and sent me an email. I know that to ableds it's just a stick, but a month ago that was my only mobility aid. I have not left the house without it for 2 years. I'm not leaving the house until I get it back. I'm in pain today because I walked around for 10min without it. She waited for me to reach out about it to let me know she had my mobility aid. And I know she waited because she told the professor she had it. If she had wanted my email she could have asked the professor for it or for my full name to look it up in the directory.
In her email she said "I was really worried someone would take it." Guess what! YOU took it! Again, I understand that it wasn't her intention, but it's the reality of what happened. She removed it from the room and didn't reach out to tell me where it was (neither did the Prof!).
Non-mobility aid users don't touch our aids! Don't move our aids! DONT FUCKING TAKE THEM HOME WITH YOU! This wouldn't have been a problem if during class people would have respected me and left it on the floor with my stuff like I said to.
TL;DR: My cane was falling over in class and the people kept touching it and eventually must have moved it. This caused me to forget it when I left in my wheelchair. Some girl from class took it home with her "so no one would take it" so it wasn't there when I returned. She didn't reach out to me so I didn't know where it was. Prof let her know I emailed asking about it. She's bringing it back to me today, but I can't comfortably leave the house until I get it back because I'm in pain from looking for it without an aid. ABLEDS RESPECT MOBILITY AID USERS BOUNDARIES AND DONT MOVE OUR AIDS OR TAKE THEM FUCKING HOME CHALLENGE

This disability pride month, I'm left with conflicted feelings.
Whenever I post about disability-related things online, I always try to give my community optimism and hope. I know how much suffering can result from having health issues, and sometimes, you just need a break from dwelling on it. I want to provide fellow disabled people a break from the slippery slope of doom that dwelling can lead to.
But the more I do that, the more that I fear I'm showing an inaccurate representation of disability. That I am painting an image of disability to be something "struggle free all the time and nothing more than a 'unique character trait.'"
Being disabled isn't easy. You're living in a world not meant for you. And you get reminded of that every day. You might think its easier to mask if you're able to, but all that does is dig you into a deeper hole. Sure, I can suppress my tics. Sure, I can mask my autism. Sure, I can try my best to hide my POTS symptoms. I can act like my tinnitus isn't giving me headaches and making it difficult to function in society. I can act like my chronic pain isnt making me want to collapse to the floor. I can pretend I dont need a mobility aid.
Sometimes, though, you arent given the choice on if you hide it or not. And then that whole facade tumbles down. And you're left feeling a mix of embarrassment, shame, and anger. Embarrassed to be seen like that, shame that you may need help, and angry that your body did something against your will, again.
I started working 7 months ago. The first 3 months, I was so happy and proud of myself for being able to have the privilege of holding down a job. By the 4th month, I had some doubts about how long I could hold my job down. Here I am, 7 months in, and Im realizing yet again that I am not as able-bodied as I expected myself to be. The thought that I may have to find a less physically demanding job terrifies me. I feel immense shame for struggling to handle a part-time job physically.
I think what really solidified this for me was when I passed out at my job last month. It wasn't as bad as it could have been, but the fact of the matter is I blacked out, and I didn't get to decide I "wasn't going to." That scared me. Or maybe what solidified it for me was when my tinnitus prevented me from being able to understand customers and coworkers. Maybe it was when I had to mask and suppress a tic attack to the best of my ability. Maybe it was when I touched something that triggered my sensory issues, and I was simply too busy to regulate myself, so I had to spend my time dissociating to forget the feeling.
When you're young and you're disabled, it's difficult to be taken seriously. People think you're being dramatic, or they think its something you're doing to be causing all the health problems. "Have you tried changing your diet?" / "It's growing pains." / "Your leg hurts? Did you bang it on something?" / "Give it a few days. You'll feel better." The search for accommodation and validity is made even harder when doctors refuse to listen. Sadly, the medical system is not immune to being abelist. You can't request accommodations if doctors document you as able-bodied.
I have never claimed to be a voice for my community. I am a voice for nobody but myself. Maybe in sharing my Expirences, someone else can feel less alone. Or maybe this is unique to me alone.
Am I proud to be disabled?
I think that in some ways, yes. I am proud of what I have accomplished in spite of my health. I am proud that I have found tools to manage my health. I am proud to say I am a part of an amazing community such as the disabled community, and I am proud of what we've accomplished.
I dont think I am proud of the abelism, shame, or pain through. Im not sure anyone could be. If you are, I truly envy you. I am proud that despite the pain, I push forward. But I wonder if that's an unhealthy habit to encourage. To push my limits and ignore my body, screaming at me to give it rest.
This disability pride month, Im reflecting on my health and how it affects me, and taking the time to be patient with myself. Because Im doing all that I can, I do not need to hold myself to the standards that able-bodied people are held to. That is an impossible standard for me to reach.
Im going to celebrate the small victories. This time last year, I was passing out multiple times a week, and I overall had more tic attacks. Now, my fainting has been almost non-existent, and my tic attacks- while they do still happen - have noticeably been less frequent.
If you made it this far, please be kind to yourself, and happy disability pride month. You are allowed to be upset by the things your disability puts you through. You're doing the best you can. I see you, and Im proud of you.

just finished rereading fourth wing and i am experiencing so many emotions i cannot put a single one into words.
*spoilers*
liam dying somehow hurt even worse the second time around, even though i knew it was coming.
i didnt like dain from the beginning even on my first read but my hatred was so much more intense the second time around knowing he was violating her mind every single time he touched her
i dont really like comparing book series' but xaden and his shadow wielding is so azriel coded (that's honestly where i think the similarities end though)
i really really hope rhiannon gets to be in the next book and i really hope she somehow gets brought into the revolution because she's genuinely one of my favorite characters and i think violet needs her support
i'm so excited to learn more about brennan in the next book, he seems like he's gonna be such a great character and definitely is a great brother to violet and leader among aretia
a part of me hopes that violet's dad is also secretly alive but i know he's not
the brief mention in xaden's pov chapter about his mother hinting at some kind of trauma? i'm so curious about whether the "not going there" was meant to imply is she was maybe abusive? or if maybe she betrayed his father or something.
xaden is genuinely one of the best love interests ive read in a long time. like yeah he makes some mistakes (he should have been more open and honest with violet as soon as things started getting serious between them) but i love that he admits his mistake and wants to make it up to her. not to compare to ACOTAR again since so many people already do that but Rhys would never (i'm not a rhys hater but i'm just saying)
violet is seriously my favorite fmc of all time. i was worried in the beginning when she was described as being so physically frail that she would follow the "y/n so tiny and helpless" trope but when she said "i will handle my rucksack and i will handle myself" i immediately knew she wasn't gonna be like that and loved her for it.
the book being mobility aid positive and the treatment of violet's eds i thought was really good (obviously aided by the fact that rebecca yarros has the same condition) but i loved when tairn tells violet not to be ashamed of using the saddle and that having a body with different needs doesn't make her less than or less deserving of riding
tairn and andarna are the best. tairn reminds me of a grumpy but loving dad (my daddy issues were screaming whenever he told violet he was proud) and andarna reminded me of a sweet little sister. even sgaeyl reminded me of a slightly scary but not unkind aunt.
ive preordered iron flame and will now be sitting and waiting for november 7th to come.

jane doe week day 2
@janedoeweek another member as jane/john doe
i decided to do soemthing i dont usually and do ricky/savannah doe!! (although my personal hc is that savannah is a name for one of rickys characters, i still toootally love transfemme ricky/savannah so im using her for this)
i think the space theme could be utilized more in the way that, shes still stuck 'sailing through space' while the rest of the choir is in the warehouse now. (like how at the end of bojd there is a projection of stars!! its already part of janes character i just want to turn that up more!!) so that but like, through the whole thing. so for example, she could say a fact about how lonely/scary space is instead of the lion thing!! and just stare off into the distance to show that her mind is not really here. also savannah doe would still be disabled obviously, but ofc she doesnt know that so during her entrance she takes 2 steps and barely realizes something is Not Right before she has to grab on to something. so for the rest of the show she is either sitting or using random things in the warehouse (that penny gives her) as a makeshift mobility aid. very confused all the time and wandering randomly, afraid to touch people (as opposed to hugging people all the time like most penny janes)
#or maybe instead of the lion fact it can be a cat fact.maybe#her and penny would still be in love.#they are in love they are in love they are in love#uniform would be more like the first one but without the bow i think. with low top doc martens and ankle socks#rtc#ride the cyclone#jane doe rtc#ricky potts#ride the cyclone jane#ride the cyclone ricky#savannah potts#savannah rtc#jane doe week

some art dump and wip art of my OC Elijah's portrait(s) before and after (Left to right) of him enlisting and then being recruited as an MTF Nu-7 Operator
⚠️ some lore and caregiver stuff ⚠️
Pronoun(s): He/They
Race/Ethn: White American/Irish-Russian
Age: 18-26
He lost his parents and younger sibling when he was 15 from a major scp event. Amnestics weren't 100% implemented correctly and he occasionally got nightmares of what actually happened. Having so much loss in his years of enlisting and then being a Nu-7 operater, he became withdrawn making him seem cold and blunt. He found me one day in spring and made it his mission to care for me until I found my way back to my dimension
☣️ He tries to keep me a secret from CI, GOC, and the Foundation. With his knowledge he is able to take me out to fun places without raising suspicion
☣️ He somewhat strict but he eventually gives in to letting me stay up or have snacks before dinner. He also has a hard time with discipline, however they make sure to remind me not to bend stuff in public or "Te va llevar el señor" (in a very bad accent and the only phrase he knows xD)
☣️ They will do arts and crafts with me and let me draw and put stickers and charms I made to wear on his gear. He is also okay with playing dress up and putting makeup on
☣️ He doesn't have much time to cook or know to cook well so he just buys snacks and prepared/hot food and lots of fruits and vegetables
☣️ They like helping with stretching and massaging sore and locked joints and will make sure I take my medicine. They also make sure to keep sanitary/medical products fully stocked
☣️ They can sometime be scary and overprotective cus accessibility is not good or place dont try to make accessible or someone is mean to me cus I'm using mobility aids or someone think I look and sound weird
☣️ He not care about physical touch but not opposed to it and will be very respectful to not touch if I ask not to and will cuddle and hold if asked to. They can tell if I need touch or affirmation when I cant communicate properly
DNI: nsfw, proship, ("sfw") kink, abdl/ddlg variants, pro-ed, bigots

Public service announcement… because as someone who has used mobility aids to help with my POTS and fibromyalgia.
Do not and I mean DO NOT… pray for me…
What seems harmless and may seem like people expressing their care and concern… is actually a form of proselytization.
To proselytize is the act of attempting to convert someone into a religion or different opinion.
While yes, I grew up southern baptist. (Have forever been really questioning though.) It is NEVER okay to try to convince or pray for somebody whom you do not know their belief system.
Especially if it’s someone like me who is disabled and you “pray” for me to be cured 😡
Small story time:
Over the holidays, my chronic illness was acting up but I still wanted to spend time with my family to see the Lights in OC. So for long distances, depending on how much pain I’m in that day. I either use my cane, wheelchair, or braces to help get me by.
Well, not long after getting to OC and stopping for food. Two “Christians” began to try to “help” me and to “pray” my disability away 😑
1. Not very Christian-like to pray for an illness that I will have for the rest of my life to be gone like God can fix that. This gives off the same energy as people who have told me in the past “there are no wheelchairs in heaven”. Not only is this extremely fucked up to tell me. But it leads me to further believe that God doesn’t love those with disabilities and that’s simply not or shouldn’t be the fucking case.
2. Also if I’m struggling, I WILL ASK FOR HELP. I do NOT need anyone’s help unless I SPECIFICALLY ASK. My mobility aid is an EXTENSION of ME. It’s like touching my arm when I hardly know you. DO NOT TOUCH ME OR MY MOBILITY AIDS WITHOUT MY SAY SO. And ESPECIALLY DONT CORNER ME. This does way more harm than good.
Another story time (UNRELATED TO RELIGION):
I went to ANOTHER set of lights in Rehobeth where this time I was in my wheelchair with my best friend’s family. Some guy had the audacity to tell his wife that I didn’t belong there… Wanna know why? Because he said “what was the point in her being here if she can’t do anything” 🤬
Ambulatory wheelchair users EXIST!
JUST BECAUSE YOU DONT OR REFUSE TO SEE US DOESNT MEAN WE DONT EXIST!
Also heaven should ALSO be disability accessible. And if you fucking think, that “yeah, when everyone goes to heaven they are their perfect selves!” “There are no wheelchairs, disabilities in heaven”
Actually sit on a cactus… Rethink and reprocess that line of thinking because I PROMISE YOU there is a deeper line of thinking than just that… The Bible has constantly been retranslated over and over again and if you honestly don’t think that ableist ideas haven’t been written into it, I don’t know what to tell you. it’s one of the MANY reasons why I don’t go to any church anymore or follow ANY group’s train of thought is because of the ABLEIST nonsense I have heard in the past from churches and fucking pastors AND HAVE HEARD RECENTLY AT A FUNERAL OF ALL PLACES!
AND OF YOU WANNA KNOW SOMETHING THATS NOT FUCKING SHOCKING TO ME AT ALL TO PROVE MY FUCKIMG POINT.
Churches are not obligated to follow the rules of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 ☺️
What a fucking shocker.
If you were truly Christian you would fucking DO BETTER.
