In the past I've gotten good information through here about what to expect when travelling in Ireland

I want to go to Birmingham in april. I have no idea what the team is like at Birmingham airport. I know what to expect in Amsterdam but not there

Are there many horror stories from wheelchair users?

[a-bowl-of-grapes]

The dinosaurs are so valid actually because i too would try to take a bite of that

[enjolrashisace]

They called. My wheelchair will be delivered next week Thursday

I'm incredibly grateful to Bobby Singer, my lended wheelchair, for helping me. Especially the last few days when my ankle hurt too much to stand. I will miss him but our parting is also very happily.

Soon I'll have my motor and I can re-enter society. I'll be able to see my friends, go on dates, go back to school, graduate and, most importantly, live instead of going through the days.

After nearly 5 months it started to feel like it would never come but now it's 10 days.

10 days after nearly 5 months, it feels like tomorrow

Me: the scooby gang is just a polycule. Well excluding the dog

My fiancée: no including the dog. He's a fursona

It's important you find someone who you can not only be yourself with but will also outdo you

Anyway Scooby is a furry now

disabled confession

Yes I'm a wheelchair user and I still travel abroad by myself but don't think I'm not absolutely terrified. There are so many possibilities and it's terrifying. But I'm also 24 and I will live my life and not simply go through the days. I want to do everything I want and I will figure it out

[enjolrashisace]

they've finished assembling my wheelchair and I can expect to get it delivered soon but till then I have this temporary wheelchair

He's called Bobby Singer

"you owe me because I gave you life"

Who tf says I'm happy to be alive. If anything you've given me another reason to hate you

Me: *tells physiotherapist that because of my heds the conditions of my ankles and knees depends day to day*

physiotherapist when the second session my other knee hurts more:

[enjolrashisace]

so in Dutch when someone is bullied we tell them "je moet van je af bijten" if you translate it too literal it would be "you have to bite off you"

But here's the thing. Once in elementary school my bully grabed me from behind and wouldn't let go. They went "What are you going to do about it" and I told them I'd bite them if they didn't let go.

Long story short, I bit and they were left absolutely flabbergasted

I guess you could say that I literally 'van me af beet'

They were perfectly fine after it. Just in shock lmao

If you're a disabled young person, you've most likely been hit with the "pfft you think you're in pain now? Just wait til you're my age" bullshit from older people at least once. Everyone talks about how invalidating it is

But I haven't seen anybody mention how it's terrifying, too. Yes, I know health deteriorates with age. I know that old age is a disability unto itself. I know that the healthiest person alive will start getting aches and pains past the age of 40 and may even need mobility aids

I know all this stuff. And it always makes me think "yeah, if I can't walk without joint pain even while using mobility aids AT AGE 21, how painful will life be for me at the age where it gets painful for everyone?"

And it's hard not to feel like I'm doomed, y'know? Where most people get a period of health that they wish they appreciated more when they start to lose it, my starting point was a body that doesn't work properly and it's only gonna get worse from there. It's worse every fucking year.

TLDR stop telling disabled young people that their pain will only get worse to the point of being unimaginable as they age, WE FUCKING KNOW

Disagree? Respectfully, you can argue with a wall🫶

[chronic-melon]

Reblog if you understand that disability is not a monolith and two people with the same disability do not have identical experiences ✨

In today's absolute bs:

They stopped assembling my wheelchair because the cushion didn't arrive

Yeah.

[enjolrashisace]

Searching for an occupational therapist that isn't only for children or the elderly and that is also close enough so that I can get there every week without a wheelchair because the company stopped building it for a while, makes me think it would be easier to become one 🙂

I've received my HeDS diagnosis

After 23 years of struggling and medical gaslighting, my condition and struggle is finally recognised and I'll be able to get everything I need. I'm so happy I could cry

[asexualenjolras]

Enjolras thinks Grantaire doesn't care about France because he doesn't believe in anything, but Grantaire doesn't care about France because he knows France doesn't care about Enjolras.

Grantaire believes in Enjolras, and so he can never believe in France.

And that hurts a lot.

No, because what do you mean Arcane has completely rewritten the rulebook on queer representation in media, and it did it so effortlessly that it puts so many other shows to shame. Like, how are you going to tell me this animated series—ostensibly a spin-off of a video game—has given us some of the most nuanced, unapologetically powerful sapphic characters ever without reducing them to stereotypes, side plots, or, worse, trauma porn?

Vi and Caitlyn? Their dynamic is ELECTRIC. You’ve got Vi, the rough-edged, fiercely loyal, scrappy brawler with a tender side that could wreck anyone emotionally, and Caitlyn, the sharp, principled, deeply empathetic enforcer with a heart of gold. The way their relationship is built on mutual respect and trust while navigating all the insane, tragic chaos around them? Literal chef's kiss. And not once do we get the tired, lazy "coming out" narrative or the "but what about the gays?" rhetoric. Their queerness isn’t the story—it’s just a beautifully natural part of who they are. And THAT is revolutionary.

And let’s not even stop there. This show handles gender like it’s been waiting for everyone else to catch up. Characters like Sevika, who could give you chills with her sheer badassery and gender-nonconforming energy, exist unapologetically without the narrative ever feeling the need to spoon-feed us explanations. It’s just there, woven seamlessly into the fabric of the world.

So many shows claim to want to "normalize" queer relationships or push the envelope, but Arcane has quietly dominated the space by just writing characters who feel authentic. Their struggles are about class, power, loyalty, trauma, not token representation or forced diversity. This show said, “We’re just going to make some of the most layered, compelling characters you’ve ever seen—and oh yeah, some of them are gay. Keep up.”

Like, the bar wasn’t just raised—it was launched into the stratosphere. What do you mean this level of representation isn’t the norm yet? Arcane said, “We’re not asking for permission to exist. We’re just existing.” And that? That is art.
