Oh wow, so when I got that new stronger power chair delivered the guy called it a grade 4 chair which sent me down a rabbit hole to just about any basic question someone might have about custom manual wheelchairs and powerchairs, how to get them and what reasons most US insurances cover them. (Most insurances use Medicare standards in the US)

A beginner's guide to fundamentals of wheeled mobility

This one is power wheelchair specific.

Explore our power wheelchair digital guide to help optimize mobility solutions for clients, covering evaluation, functionality, and power se

I consider myself one of the more knowledgeable cripples about wheelchairs and this is like... THE most comprehensive guide. Just a disclaimer, permobil is a wheelchair brand (tilite and permobil mainly, I think) who releases this education in order to sell more stuff, however they aren't telling people to do fraud. Insurance covers what insurance covers, you know?

I hate how isolating being disabled is. I keep myself at home so I don't flare up, but no one comes to visit me so I'm basically just home alone 24/7 wishing I had someone to spend some time with or talk to besides my cats. My cats are all I have and I'm so thankful I have them because if I didn't I would be so insanely lonely.

thinking that your job or school actually give a fuck about your special needs is like thinking the stripper loves you

hey did y’all know that the SSI $2000 asset limit hasn’t been increased since 1989? [pt: 1989?]

$2000 in 1989 is almost $5500 in 2026.

no one fucking tells you this so here it is:

when signing out forms to apply for disability / filling out a form for diagnosis

you’re supposed to fill it out as you on your worst days

like, I filled out forms that said I could do most things usually

like, my doctor added in the conditions like “yeah, they can feed themselves when not stressed” “they can do this when not stressed”

but how I should have filled it out was more like

“some days I can’t feed myself” “some days I can’t leave the house”

My doctor didn’t even know this, but I talked to someone who had worked with people with both developmental and intellectual disabilities for a number of years, and she told me to write down how it is for your bad days

this should be a thing they tell you, but it isn’t

part of the reason I didn’t get my autism diagnosis as soon as I should have is because I filled out forms wrong!

This also goes for filling out forms for disabled parking rights. I’ve been rejected multiple times for a pass cause I didn’t find this out till recently.

Wow

[myceliorum]

Also you’re generally supposed to fill it out as you are without help.

That throws me too.  Because the more help I get, the more capable I get.  It’s easy to forget what happens when the help falls away even partially let alone completely.

And if they call you in to be examined by a third party doctor, it needs to be you on your worst day. Show them how bad it is. This happened to me because they made it into my worst day by making me injure myself in front of them. If I had had the mind to say “I don’t think I can do that,” I wouldn’t have needed help to the parking lot where I almost passed out/threw up.

You can say no. You can state your limitations. Don’t get hurt like I did.

The thing with disability is that your brain and the people around you will tell you that it's not okay to do things that will make your life easier. But it is in fact okay, good even, to do things that will make your life easier

[haselbasil]

something hard for both disabled people and able bodied people to accept is that disabilities are often gross. i don’t want to be lied to about it—i want it to be normalized!!. i’m in a wheelchair in the south with a spinal cord defect. it’s hot. i’m sweaty. i struggle with incontinence. sometimes i might smell like urine. it’s not glamorous for anyone. even when you’re on top of your hygiene, as much as you independently CAN, it might not always be the most “clean.” and that’s OKAY. if you can’t be normal about some fucking piss or a colostomy bag or skin conditions and burns or what the fuck ever, grow up

let disabled bodies exist without having been sanitized for your ease of consumption

a character being a perpetrator does not negate their victimhood and neither does their victimhood negate being a perpetrator. u can accept and reckon w both dimensions in ur analysis

[ilynpilled]

there is nothing morally purifying about suffering or victimhood, it is not something that inculcates “goodness.”

one’s character has no impact on whether they were/are a victim or not, victim status is not something that is only afforded to the palatable.

it also does not = absolution.

ppl cant handle this in cartoons made for teenagers lets not get ahead of ourselves

[diximixy]

I mean this Everyone needs to read the Higurashi and Umineko When They Cry visual novels for this! Hopefully it will make you get it but there are sadly people who still won't.

"Scam" you mean people are fighting back against housing discrimination??? I don't think these people know what the word scam means

Scams are designed to trick someone into giving up money based on lies. This is just.. asking for information then legally enforcing the law??

Fuck landlords

Fuuuck I just loss 20000 dollars in adverisement revenue and potential sales when that guy over there didn’t look at my flyer because he was talking to the girl he was walking with. The sensible option here is to ban talking while walking since it’s literally theft.
