Here’s another edit I made last year of Olo’eyktan Neteyam. I make these because we’re never going to see him take these mantles.

Please do not repost my edits and use them for yourself or post them elsewhere!

Wow! I’ve fallen in love with this amazing eye doctor trying coke bottle glasses 🤓 I bet he couldn't resist the temptation to try them on and experience the feeling being such a very nearsighted man

For The Record by fierce pussy for Visual AIDS (2013)

[awkwardbros]

Nuff said my friend. Ok. Just give me a minute to sort this wild message out.

Ok… it could be more than that. This runs all over the board which could be exactly the point or super ironic given the tattoo. How much weight do we give intention here? Can someone with a paid subscription to a visual AI service run this through? It you can afford the subscription, you have the time. Just sayin.

…You know, I’m betting either myself or a fireman might be coming for this guy and not for any reason anyone is thinking right now.

Grounding Cards We Made!

[sprinkleofquirk]

My first attempt at a movable “tracker” visual aid/prompting type bracelet

This one is for morning/evening routine and includes getting dressed, brushing teeth, brushing/combing hair, and eating breakfast/dinner

Let me know what you think and where I can improve!

(And apologies for the shaking- I tried my best but I have a slight tremor 🫠)

A little behind the scenes of what goes into each card set. ✨✂️ Disclaimer: do as I say, not as I do. Use👏 a 👏 ruler 👏 with a 👏 safety 👏 guard.

Red Reminds Me... Visual AIDS for Day With(out) Art 2024

[cpunkwitch]

Btw glasses are a visual aid for visual impairments. blurriness, farsight and nearsight are just three of the many varieties of visual impairments and low vision.

To be impaired means to have a weakness/disability of some kind inhibiting you in some way to some degree.

Yes you are visually impaired if you need glasses, especially if you can't see without them.

Otherwise who the fuck were glasses made for?

HOWEVER

This does not mean visual impairments are physical disabilities, if you do not have other issues affecting your body (pain, fatigue, joints, anemia, pots etc) you're still physically able.

The argument shouldn't be "glasses wearer's aren't visually impaired" it should be "glasses aren't a mobility aid."

Visual impairments have never been the target of the slur cripple. And yes I have seen people try to state able bodied visually impaired folk are part of cripple punk.

It annoys me as much as able bodied people trying to say their audhd makes them a cripple.

(sorry for going off about two seperate topics in the same post I just felt this was a good place to put it)

Darrel Ellis (1958–1992) from Visual AIDS ..."Working in part from his late father’s photographs, Ellis developed a unique process whereby he projected, deconstructed, and re-imaged his family history, creating uncanny portraits marked by voids and warps. His commitment to the self-portrait was no less inspired, particularly after his experiences of being photographed by Robert Mapplethorpe and Peter Hujar. Ellis was on the cusp of major recognition when his life was cut short by AIDS in 1992, at the age of 33."

Pictures worth a thousand words: Historical Train Cars

Beyond the first class car there was an even more exclusive and outlandish way to travel the early railroad, and that was the private car. Commissioned by the wealthy, crafted by some of the worlds most talented architects, the upper crust spared few expenses to design railway mansions for themselves. Because god forbid they travel in any other fashion. If you’ve ever been reading your favorite romance novel and struggled to picture the brooding hero or the wide eyed heroine in their fancy schmancy private digs, or you just find history interesting, this is a fun post.

Some surviving photos:

A stateroom :  Pullman Palace Car

Parlor room: Pullman Palace Car

Bedroom: The Sunbeam

Dining room: Henry Ford’s, Fair Lane.

And for a bit of color some images from restored private cars.
