Welcome to some of my life lol I had to get a cane recently due to my chronic pain.
Here he is 🥰 and he was only $3

Now obviously I’ll have to refinish the handle, but it’s fairly sturdy and is lightweight, good for work at the moment. I plan to just cover this poor thing in stickers though 😂
Also I was called a cripple yesterday for the first time, actually thought it was funny 😂 I guess I’m officially a cripple now!

personal observations made by a new cane user:
you do not need to be in constant pain to own a cane.
folding canes have a clasp or band to keep them folded. losing the band is a pain in the ass.
you will get dirty looks
it does not matter what age you are. you will get dirty looks.
you have to hold it in the opposite hand as the disabled leg. this is fortunate, as I am right handed, so i hold it in my left hand to support my right leg.
people will try to steal your cane from you.
when standing still, I hold it in my right hand unless i need to do something right handedly. this does not work as well as i thought it would.
being visibly physically disabled is difficult. having a mobility aid will help with pain and movement, but some people don't get them because visible disability is treated with disgust.
if someone meets you for the first time, and you don't have your cane, then they will like you more, but they will not believe you are actually disabled.
if someone meets you for the first time, and you have your cane, they will not treat you the same.
the majority of other cane and mobility aid users I have met are homeless. I live close to a big city.
People do not want to see you being disabled.
you will not hear of the benefits of using a cane from anyone who does not use a cane.
no one will prepare you for the world of being visibly physically disabled. however bad you think we have it is usually not from the disability at all. I can deal with pain and I can deal with an indisposed left hand.
the hardest part of being disabled is the fact that no one will care until you make them care.
the disabled seats on trains are a suggestion
the disabled seats on buses are a suggestion.
you will have a different experience with using a cane than I have had.
your hand will become tired. you are using it as a leg.
your cane is legally a part of your body. this will not stop some people.
you are not your disability. but it will affect you.
i love you
theres always an invisible someone who has it worse. that person will not be affected or offended by your use of a cane. take the damn ibuprofen. put the folded cane in your bag. ask your friends for help. gd knows they need help sometimes too.
you will have to learn that things will be impossible to you. you may not run as fast anymore. you may not become a skater, like you always wanted to be. you may be left behind when everyone else runs ahead.
you deserve better.
your cane handle gets dirty. wash it.
some days pain is worse. some days you will feel it the moment you wake up.
no one deserves pain. the human condition is not to suffer. we deserve better. we deserve to be loved and not tolerated. we deserve to be seen better than from the corners of eyes. we deserve to be heard better than an afterthought at a meeting.
be quick to care for yourself. I love you.

Godzilla x Kong is a very silly movie. I kinda love it. Shimo stole my heart. She deserves all the good things now.

This episode had me so flustered I don’t even know why!!!!
[ID: Three drawings of the artist sitting on a couch with headphones on and a cat in their lap. The first drawing is of them listening contently with a hand on their cat. An arrow pointed at them reads “listening to magp 6” referring to the sixth episode of The Magnus Protocol. The second drawing has them shooting up in their seat, a blush on their surprised face. Their cat is scared by the sudden reaction. From their headphones a speech bubble reads “Celia [speaking]: Lena, these little donuts are amazing! Where do you get them?”
The last drawing on the bottom is a closeup of the artist, the blush taking over their face. Their internal thoughts say “Sam, if you don’t romance this woman, I will!” with a faded lesbian flag behind the text. \End ID]

hmmmmm...Vash's undersuit is assistive clothing that functions as a full body brace. send tweet.
no but seriously, i know that half the fun of his design is that it's 10000 belts that do nothing, but since he
a. canonically has multiple massive injuries, including medical implants (all the metal bolts and grates, plus his prosthetic port)
b. has the undersuit designed by people on the airship to have temperature regulation and damage resistance
I fully think that it adds extra support to his joints and compresses his injuries. Like his glove! It's got the "rings" on it that look a lot like finger braces for hypermobility.
There's no big conclusion to this, I just think that assistive wear is cool and hot and I wanted to share my thoughts with you cool people! I've seen a lot of love given to Vash and his disabilities by this fandom, which is super sweet.

I'd love more disability aides that look cool. Cane/crutch/chair customisation is awesome, and I'd love if there were also options for that too, and also like. Leather-looking knee and leg braces. Or spiked or metallic-looking elbow and wrist braces. Stickers and patches that go over joint supports. Those weird over-the-leg hinged splints from the 1700s, remade such that they work as modern splints/supports. Those curled metal finger splints but larger and for wrists and ankles. Y'know?
