DONT take a persons medical device

I shouldn’t have to say that but here we are

One of the managers at work likes to take and hide peoples stuff as a joke. My manager took my pulse ox when I wasn’t looking. When I noticed it was gone I started to panic. A pulse ox is minimum $30 and I’ve had mine for over 7 years and have named it. So yeah I was panicking. I immediately paged my manager to my register and when he arrived I demanded it back. He did give it back.

I informed him that it was stupid and dangerous of him to take a medical device from someone especially like that.

So again

DONT TAKE A PERSONS MEDICAL DEVICE

Headed out for Sunday Funday shenanigans. 😘😘😘 The wild child's dad is taking her to the mall, so a free afternoon for me. Not enough sunshine to tan on the patio (which is good, lol, since I'm sunburned!) So I'm gonna run around town causing trouble instead. Hope everyone is having a lovely Sunday, and ends the weekend beautifully. 🧡 #sundayfunday #happyvibes #makelifebeautiful #makeyourownmagic #chronicallyill #chronicillness #chronicallyawesome #beyourownhero #beYOUtiful (at Terrace Heights, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp_qDEvsUam/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

To all concerned, due to the ableist situation in the More Profound Con (Nov 5-6) I have dropped out of my panel in support. I am chronically ill and our whole community needs to be taken seriously.

I'm still a believer but I don't know why✨ • 📸: @catamosphotography • I often talk about my body and brain as if they are separate entities from both each other and myself. • There’s my brain is demanding we do fun things to make up for the drudgery of never ending medical admin and appointments. It’s depressed and anxious and it’s tired and just can’t quite keep up with processing all that’s happened (happening?). • Then there’s my body. My body that’s been in pain since childhood. That I’ve become so disconnected from. because not being attached to my body means I don’t feel it as much. My body that is screaming at me to allow it more rest. But resting feels like all I do and I want more out of this life. • My body and my brain have become separate from me as a coping and survival mechanism. I’ve become detached from painful things in my life and unfortunately that includes some pretty vital pieces of myself. It’s easier to deal with a depressed brain than a depressed Rose. Easier to deal with a broken body than a broken spirit. • #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthblogger #ptsdawareness #mentalhealthtips #biracial #curlyhairdontcare #curlynaturalhair #naturalcurls #naturegram #naturegirl #butyoudontlooksick #sickandtiredofbeingsickandtired #sickchick #chronicallyill #chronicfatigue #seizuressuck #chronicillnesscommunity #chronicpainsucks #invisibleillness #chronicallyawesome #ehlersdanlossyndrome #fibromyalgia #disabledmodel #disabledpeoplearehot #disabledblogger #disabilityawareness #spoonie #vintagefashion (at Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiN8AaCPrxq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

No one asked me for this, but i made it anyway

Presenting

Blorbo from Access Issues! The hit new game from Jamie studios . Basically imagine a video game where the player character is randomly assigned a set of disabilities and has to accomplish Quests and Missions such as “go to the library” and “attend this gathering” while facing ACCESS ISSUES and solving puzzles to work around them. It’s supposed to be utterly miserable. Here’s some concept art i made of the main character, don’t ask why its hair is rainbow dash styled . Also the Neurodiversity Expansion Pack just makes everything randomly harder for no reason

{ID: A bright pastel pop advertisement-style drawing of a person (it/its) in a wheelchair with very muscular arms, striking a pose. It has a blue dress, no shoes, a satisfied smirk, and wavy hair in red-orange-yellow chunks. It is captioned “[Concept art of Blorbo from my Access Issues]”. Surrounding the person are dense clusters of text on all sides, advertising various selling points of the “game,” which is called Access Issues Simulator.

Tagline: It’s No Fun, At All!

Price: $6.99 on Steam

$4.20 for the Neurodiversity Expansion Pack!

Testimonials: “…incredibly demoralizing.”

“Very educational.”

“The protagonist is extremely hot.”

All testimonials come with a five-star rating.}

This bit was really funny in my head okay . The gamification of the lack of curb cuts i encountered today

Human!Hordak! 💜❤️

she-ra is so important to me... i’ve never seen an intra-abled relationship in children’s media! being chronically ill and being autistic are two different disabilities that come with their own struggles and wonders, it’s so wonderful to have a space to explore that!

i’d like to think hordak’s armor in a human!au would be orthotic devices for his disability!

Little things like this make my ocd heart happy. I have noticed over the years that my #OCD flares up when I'm stressed. Which makes sense -- I have a dozen things right now that I can't fix or manage or solve. But I CAN bring order to cupboards, organize drawers, colorize books. I bought a pile of cheap plastic organizers from #DollarTree - this sage green color wasn't my first choice (and I may still spray pain them all?) but it was the only color that had lots of sizes available. I hadn't measured or planned ahead. I just happened to be out earlier this week, I've had the worst chronic illness flare in years - and impulsively decided: I will reorganize all the things. I feel like trash. But my laundry cupboards LOOK less like trash now. And that's... something, right? ;) Right. Swipe to see the overflowing mess it was. Amazing how a few pretty storage boxes can bring chaos under control. Anyone else an #ocdclean type? I need things symmetrical, in groups of 3's, colorized, etc. My brain gets itchy when they're not. #ocdawareness #chronicallyawesome #chronicillnesslife #chronicillness #chronicallyill #autoimmunedisease #flareup #organizedhome #controlthechaos #cleaningday #onestepatatime (at Terrace Heights, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoYvKU9rwHd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So i know “have you tried yoga” is a meme and whatnot but spirituality really does improve mind body connection which is vital for wellness regardless of any health condition . Idk if we’re ready to have this conversation but yoga is an immensely beneficial thing to have in one’s life if one does it properly and with the appropriate reverence and understanding for what it actually is, a spiritual practice. Ruthlessly And Constantly Mocking even the well-meaning SUGGESTION of yoga is honestly at Least a tiny bit offensive to the thousands of disabled yogis in this world who are simply participating in a health tradition that both precedes western medicine by thousands of years AND ALSO has been proven by literally so much clinical study to be effective in the management of emotional and physical wellness for people of extremely diverse abilities.

TL;DR yoga is good for you and so much more than you probably think it is because you’re entirely ignorant of the concept aside from your random memory of the California-branded exercise class you were forced to take in PE like two years ago.

This is not said with any vitriol whatsoever nor is it a suggestion to try yoga, it’s literally just a post about respecting diverse cultures and experiences, particularly those outside of the white, secular, Xtian Anglo-sphere... its not Karen behavior to be like “hey people have done This for thousands of years and it worked alright for them”. It might not work for you but it Does Work Sometimes so the severe flack is really unwarranted imo. Idk. Just thinking aloud

Its okay if you feel depressed about being disabled. I know society tells us to "stay positive", but it's hard sometimes. You don't need to feel bad for being sad or angry about your disability. It's normal and it will be okay.
