imagine how much better doctors there would be if it didn’t cost like a million fucking dollars to become one

Drawing
I’m interpreting this as you asking to see some art (if this is incomplete or means something else entirely - sorry, please feel free to send another ask!), but here’s my latest art attempt. It was a fairly rushed experiment where I just wanted to get paint to paper after a long day at work where I was tired and didn’t have much time
Tumblr media
ID a watercolour painting of four flowers with long stems. The flowers are almost abstract blobs of mixed colours. One is mostly orange with some yellow, one blue with some red, one yellow with some orange and one pink with some red /end ID

I need physically disabled people to value themselves over their ability to generate capital so fucking bad I’m so sick of hearing about physically disabled people dying by suicide I wish the world would quite literally shower us with praise and money like every dumbfuck thinks it does . I wish we were truly actually rich off welfare the way the Clintons made your parents believe we were . I wish our lives were protected

I presented disability training to my whole organisation today and it went so well!
I only had limited time so we focused on challenging ableism and planning accessibility into events from the get go.
Everyone was so engaged and we had some really thoughtful discussions

You don’t have to focus on trying to look abled. A lot of us feel a pressure to try and hide things because we don’t want to impact other people. But it’s okay to be disabled. And it’s okay to look disabled.

My wheelchair has given up the ghost (again) so I’m in an ancient borrowed wheelchair that doesn’t fit anywhere and is really quite painful to be in. Hopefully I won’t be in it for too long, but it could be until I get my new wheelchair around May time.
We’ve had to be creative to try and solve the most immediate causes of pain and pressure, and I would like to introduce you to my snail friends
I’m really enjoying people’s reaction to them – old people in particular seem to love them and I love making people smile!
Tumblr media
ID: a photo of Echo’s legs in a beaten up looking powered wheelchair. The footplates are sloping inwards causing the angles in Echo’s legs and ankles to be completely wrong. Holding Echo’s legs in a slightly better position and protecting them from the metal bars of the footplates are two large snail shaped cuddly toys which have purple shells and are smiling. /end ID

I just had to ask my carer to position me in bed. Usually I can do it myself with aids but tonight I just couldn’t do it.
I’m hoping it’s a one off but it feels pretty crap. I hate it when I find new things I can no longer do. Especially things like this where it has potentially serious implications (in this case changes to my pressure sore risk and overnight care need)

ID: a photo of Echo’s hand. His short nails have white nail wraps with Green leaves on them. Their hand has pale skin and is in a blue resting hand splint /end ID
I get sad sometimes that I can’t wear fake nails. I love all the designs but can’t wear them without shredding my palms. A colleague suggested I try nail wraps and I’m so happy with how they look!

Does anyone know any YouTubers or similar who use a powerchair?
I’m feeling pretty isolated as the only person I know who uses a big powerchair, and trying to fill that gap from podcasts and videos.
And I’m getting fed up of videos about wheelchair use that exclusively talk about or mainly centre manual wheelchairs.

I want to do painting but I have to do coursework :-(
It’s really basic and boring too. And also long. And repetitive.

They’ve changed the tops of lucozade sports bottles and they’re now really hard for me to drink from.
They used to be a go to for me because of the sports top making them easy to drink from without a straw. But they’ve made it shallower so it’s really hard to get a good seal with someone else holding it for me
So a heads up I guess for anyone else who buys them for the bottle.

I have 6 months to decide whether I want to get bottom surgery/ a hysterectomy.
I really need a medical professional to talk to about it, but I don’t have one. Disability makes it so much more complex too.
