Assistive devices are part of one's personal space. Always ask for permission before handling a disabled person's assistive device. This includes the less obvious ones like oxygen tanks and communication boards.
In solidarity,

I miss when people used to call things gadgets, everything's a fucking "device" now

I love how the colors turned out here! Although, I noticed the colors look way different on my laptop screen compared to my other monitors and phone (even after recalibrating it a bunch). These edits have like zero purple on the laptop?? Makes me wonder what other people see on their devices 🤔

I lowkey forgot how helpful my grabber tool is for tidying up my room...
I can sit in a central location and just pick trash/laundry/recyclables and put them where they go!
I've had the dang thing for probably close to a decade. Why don't I use it? IDK. Internalized ableism? Imposter Syndrome? Denial?
I always tell myself, "I'm better now. I don't need all those things anymore," and avoid using any assistive devices unless I'm in so much pain I can barely move. It's bullshit! I'm making things so much harder for myself.
I keep thinking about getting a rollator so I can get out of the apartment more on my days off. Then I tell myself that's being overdramatic, and i don't need it. Lately, I'm resistant to even using my cane.
I get scared to go places on my own in case I get too tired! Clearly, I need SOMETHING.
I didn't use to be so self-conscious about visibly appearing disabled. It's more since I've entered the workforce, and I'm the only one at my company who uses mobility aids. Also, I got severely harassed/discriminated against by my ex-boss (reported her ass and got her fired!).
I'm fucking tired of being the odd one out at work and working in a completely NOT accessible building where the only mobility aid I even have the option to use is my cane.
Heavily considering applying to an independent living center a few cities over so I can be amongst peers and do some good for the local disabled community. It's just hard to make the leap and change careers.

Thinking about a lot of things but mainly of how Terry Pratchett writes tiredness.
(Which means I’m mainly thinking of Sam Vimes. Which is normal.)
But he gets it so right.
The feeling behind your eyeballs. Stealing time from your future self with coffee, and, when the coffee doesn’t work anymore, going on sheer bloody mindedness because you cannot stop, you can’t. Not being sure when you last had real sleep. The strange state of mind you land in where you should absolutely not be tested because everything’s on a hair trigger, and things feel like they’re moving through treacle and your ability to make decisions feels shot to hell so you can only hope that you’re making the right choices.
Not Terry Pratchett’s words, if course, but I can’t get to my bookshelf at the moment, and, if I could, I’m not sure that I can read anymore.
I’m tired, is what I’m getting at.
And Terry Pratchett writes the whole spectrum of being human so brilliantly, but, damn, how he nails down being tired.

📟 As one of the pioneering handheld gadgets of its time, the IR 7000 served as a personal digital assistant, revolutionizing how users connected and communicated with each other. With its innovative infra-red beam technology, aptly named the "Magic Beam", users could exchange messages and engage in interactive activities like never before.

⚙️ Bearing resemblance to other Casio models like the JD-6000 and JD-6500, the IR 7000 inherited familiar design elements and functionalities. While each model had its unique features, the IR 7000 stood out with its battle mode, setting it apart as a versatile and engaging handheld device.
🌟 Today, the IR 7000 remains a cherished testament to the ingenuity and innovation of its time, paved the way for the handheld communication devices we rely on today.
