Hot take but canes are not a limited resource. Most mobility aids aren’t but canes especially. Canes are $20 at a lot of stores like CVS, Walmart, etc. You aren’t taking that resource away from “real” disabled people (hint: you ARE a real disabled person) in fact buying more canes creates more demand and works to make more stores carry them for better prices. You aren’t faking being disabled or hurting disabled people, you’re working to make canes more accessible which is helping disabled people.

Get the cane.

#I'm endlessly advocating for ppl to get canes #they can be so helpful #and what's the worst thing that could happen? you try it and it doesn't help?#ok sure you wasted $20 but you could donate it to someone who needs it and can't afford it!#what's the downside.#just get a cane.#it improved my life tenfold #just do it #disabled #disability #physical disability #cane user #mobility aid #mobility aids #disabled pride #disabled joy #10k #15k #my ramblings

Shout out to fat people with chronic pain. Use that mobility aid, get yourself a tasty treat, and don't give a fuck what anyone else thinks. Your body deserves love and care no matter what!

#thefatfemme #Chronic pain #fat positive #fat liberation #Disabled #body positivity #Self love #fat acceptance #fatphobia #mobility aid #No this has nothing to do with my hips and back screaming today why do you ask #Also if anyone who sees this uses a cane while also having wrist pain #Do you have any good ways of mitigating the wrist pain while using the cane?#Cause I have tendonitis and will likely develop carpal tunnel from grooming dogs and some days my wrists are just terrible #Can't grip for shit #And while rn I can manage without a cane for the most part #there are also days where my back and hips act up and a cane would be a major help

Disabled transfem in need of help!

hey y'all, i had to leave my job back in January bc my mobility disabilities have been getting worse, making it impossible to do such physical labor, and my job couldn't accommodate me due to the nature of the work (janitorial). so, i'm in income limbo atm while i file for SSI,SSDI, and unemployment, and also try and search for remote work. to make matters worse, the one employed person in our household has had to stay home from work until she can get a doctor's note confirming that she's fit to return to work, and the soonest pcp appointment she was able to make isn't until a ways out. we have a lot of bills upcoming, so we desperately need some help!

i would appreciate any donations to help me out during this time, and would especially appreciate more folks subscribing to my patreon. i'm planning on making more comics during my increased free time, so funding my patreon will help me do that and worry less abt income. Links below:

Patreon

Ko-Fi

Paypal

Cashapp: $ScoutForester

Venmo: @Sarahpillbug

i'm also going to open up my commissions to do $30 simple pfps. i can't handle doing anything more than that as executive dysfunction makes commissions very stressful. here's some examples so you can get an idea of what i can do:

i design all pfps in such a way that they will look good in both square and circular frames. if you need me to design for different shapes or want me to focus on just one, please let me know!

i've received so much support from y'all in the past during hard times. i really couldn't have made it through without y'all

Emergency Donation

Hey everyone, I'm making this my pinned post. My roommate just gave me an ultimatum in regards to paying off the back payments of what I owe for rent. I'm looking for $1,263.21 USD by March 31.

Please help me if you can. I don't have anywhere else to go at the moment and I'm afraid of losing the only place I have to live. I'm disabled, queer, I have two cats and I've been unemployed since August. Any amount will help but if you can't donate please reblog this so it gets seen. Thank you.

Edit 3/30:

$1,056.49/1,263.21

Hey, you! Try that mobility aid you've been thinking about. If it helps you, then you need it. Easy as that! Most people start using mobility aids on their own, without a doctor recommendation. And that's perfectly normal and okay! If you're worried about using it correctly, there are many guides to get you started. I know it can be scary. But mobility aids can open up your world in so many ways. If it helps, then you need it!

#this is for the people who are scared to try mobility aids because they can “get by” without one #but just because you can suffer through a day without one doesn't mean that it wouldn't help you!!#mobility aids #chronic pain #chronic illness #disability #spoonie

no joke but what I really want for Buddy Daddies as a fandom is to make fanart and fanfic post present time ep12 where Rei wears an arm orthosis when working.

I think varied disability aids being represented would be fantastic, and personally would write Rei as someone being deeply proud of something he's done for his family, but also understanding with time that using an orthosis also helps him at work and in raising Miri. with a giant portion of mobility/motorics aids being represented by prosthetics, seeing more variety and exploring it in fiction would also help making a step in normalising disability treatments.

#that's my personal opinion and i just thought about how understanding more about physical disabilities #and how to help people with those aids in case something happens and they ask for help #has furthered my understanding and might even help me in the future if i were ever to experience that #Buddy Daddies Spoilers #Buddy Daddies #Suwa Rei #(again. i want to write Kurusu Rei SO BAD)#text post #Varya rambles #also drawing an orthosis would be real complicated for an animated work so i understand why they chose to hide the arm #but i really like the headcanon of Rei using it sparingly 🥺 not everyone uses them all the time #+ it's also not healthy if worn all the time. looking @ people who'd let their characters sleep with their prostheis on. smh #and this is also NOT a 'you HAVE to do this'! just something I think would be fantastic #...also I'm like. apparently looking @ a start of a fic where Rei uses it?? is my writer's block finally over?!#here's a hoping 🙏buddy daddies such a good anime. not perfect not extremely beautiful. but GOOD in HEART #1k

Mobility aid TF2? Well I'll give you one better...

GAY MOBILITY AID TF2

I BETCHA DIDN'T SEE THAT ONE COMING

THEY'RE GAY NOW

EDIT: Hey so I just realized I drew Medic in a hospital wheelchair for some reason? Instead of a manual one?? Maybe it's because in my reference pic it was a hospital wheelchair, but I swear I remember thinking about changing it to a manual one? I guess I was just being a dumbass and forgot lmao, sorry y'all

11 months ago I was diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder and with Fibromyalgia earlier this year.I have also dealt with cPTSD and an eating disorder for the last 20 years.

I have been mostly bed bound for 12 months and have spent 6 months of this year in hospital. I cannot currently walk more than 20 metres without needing a wheelchair to mobilise. I have been unable to drive for the last 12 months due to continued non-epileptic seizures.

I am needing continued help to manage all of my medical bills, specialist appointments, medication, transport etc.

I am attaching a PayPal link if you feel at all inclined to donate to help me manage week to week as the pension I’m on doesn’t even cover basic expenses for each fortnight after rent and each of my medical team appointments.

I would be so grateful for any donations, reblog etc. Thank you in advance x

It is officially my 21st birthday! I'm doing my best to enjoy the day, but my financial situation is still an urgent concern, since I now have only a week to move out. If everyone with the means could donate just $25, I believe my goal could be reached in time.

You can donate to my PayPal at https://paypal.me/secretlykoishi?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US or to my GoFundMe, whichever works best for you! Thank you all in advance! I'm going to try to enjoy the rest of today!

The Eureka Kickstarter Pamphlet

It’s not much of a secret that my career and future financial stability is riding on the upcoming Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy Kickstarter (April 10th-May 10th) being successful and hitting as many stretch goals as possible.

If you would like to help a disabled person have a viable career, and see more work from myself and A.N.I.M. in the future—well, first of all, back the Kickstarter on April 10th, but secondarily, spread the word so that others can at least know about it and may back it themselves.

Besides just telling people about us and reblogging our posts, a really helpful way for you to spread the word would be to go to this link here (it’s the same link as the one for downloading the free demo) and download the EurekaPaphlet3pg-1 PDF. It’s a foldable pamphlet you can print out and give to anyone who has an interest in TTRPGs at school, at work, at a con, etc. You can even print out a bunch of them and leave them at your local card&hobby store. These pamphlets even include QR code that will give anyone scanning them access to the free Eureka demo. Also, since it’s a PDF, you could also just send it to people online without actually having to print it out.

(Make sure when you do print it out, that you print it out double-sided!)

It’s a nice pamphlet with some of our best art on it, and does a good job of getting right to the point of what Eureka is.

If any of y’all could hand this out and/or show it to people, it could mean a world of difference for making Eureka and A.N.I.M. a viable career path for someone who struggles to hold down any “normal” job.

Set a reminder for the Kickstarter launch here.

See a preview of the Kickstarter campaign here.

Join our Patreon for just $5 and get perpetual updates on the in-progress prerelease version of Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy and several adventure modules.

Visit our website or go to our itch.io page (follow us there too so you'll get notified when the game fully launches) for more information and a free demo! Also, in case anyone didn't know, the free demo isn't just a small chunk of the game anymore, it's almost the full game. Like, everything. If you previously downloaded the demo that kept most of the game hidden, go download it again to get access to all of that hidden stuff and more!

Interested in actually playing this game, and many others, with the developers? Check out A.N.I.M.'s TTRPG Book Club, a club of nearly 100 members at the time of writing this where we regularly nominate, vote on, and then play indie TTRPGs! At the time of writing this, we are playing Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy, and sign-ups are closed for actually playing it, but you can still join in to pick up a PDF club copy of the rulebook to read and follow along with discussion, and sit in on and observe sessions! There is no schedule obligation for joining this club, as we keep things very flexible by assigning multiple GMs with different timeslots each round, to try and accomodate everyone! This round, we had over thirty people sign up, and were able to fit in all but one! Here is the invite link! See you there!

I'd like to adress a serious issue here. No mobility aid is a fantasy of mine. No accommodation I could ask for is a fancy thing I want. And no tools for any disabled people should be offered as a present for any occasion. Abled people have to understand that a child shouldn't have to chose between some help with their disability and a christmas present. When will people understand that we need those things. It could be a cane, a noise canceling headphones, a wheelchair, some stim toys, we need it. No mental disability or physical disability should be taken lightly. So please, take your disabled children seriously. It's hard enough to ask for help, don't Minimize it.

hey friends i hate coming around asking for this but here we are. last night around 3am i had what we think was a seizure. i got pretty fucked up bc i was alone in the parking lot walking to my apartment. i stopped to sit down on a retaining wall bc i felt so weird. next thing i remember is being face first on the ground convulsing & unable to stop. im not sure how long it was bc i was out for most of it. however landing face fucking first into the asphalt hurt a lot. my face got so messed up, my neck & shoulders are fucked up, & im still having pains in my abdomen from thr severe contraction of my muscles. i mean, i was face down/ass up completely & couldn't at all break my fall bc i couldn't move anything. when i was convulsing i was basically grinding/bashing my face into the asphalt over & over.

so tha thing is my glasses got absolutely demolished. i luckily have a pair of sunglasses that i can use, but that means low vision & the inability to drive at night. thus to the point, i have no idea how much the appointment + new glasses is going to be but normally my lens range in the 200-300$ teir bc my eyes ain't so good. add in the frames & actual appointment, ive no idea how much it'll cost. plus i need it done more than asap. bringing us to the point of this post where i asked yall for money.l to get new glasses. a little can go a long way & anything will help. reblogging & boosting too please please rb & boost this if you can. its hard time ya know lol

c*sh*pp: rebelinasweater

also got v*mo & p*yp*l if you need those instead.

under the cut is photos of my glasses & a photo of my face (itd rough but not that gory)

Hey folks we are incredibly desperate once more. We need to get by until the 3rd and only have rent paid until Saturday, possibly enough to extend to Monday or Tuesday. We have food and gas for a few more days. After that, it's looking like our luck has run its course. It's cold and raining but I think the storm will pass by the time we would have to leave and figure out what to do next. If you could spare anything at all to help us get by, we would greatly appreciate and be forever grateful for the help(even more than we already are of course). Thanks for everything, even if this is it, and have the most beautiful week.

-Austin
