Did you know that JRR Tolkien wrote an unpublished epilogue to Lord of the Rings? It's achingly, beautifully wistful in the way that only Lord of the Rings is. I revisited it recently because I'm guesting on my friends' LOTR podcast, and THAT reminded me that I drew a comic of the epilogue back in 2021 (all text is entirely canon). Anyway I thought folks on this website might enjoy it!
Powerchairs can easily be snazzy or beautiful or cool colours. People who use powerchairs are not taking up too much space. you don't need to be smaller or tucked out of the way for others' convenience. Powerchairs can do so much that manual chairs can't (even with a power assist) and that's a good thing! So many people are supported by their powerchairs, and the world has been changed many times by someone living their life using a powerchair.
It will never be a bad thing for disabled people to have access to their homes and their communities. Using a powerchair isn't a "lesser option" to a manual chair, it isn't "giving up", and it is never taking up too much space. You're taking up exactly as much space as belongs to you already. It's great to see you around 😊
this blog loves all the mobility equipment disabled people may need, and I think people using group 3/CRT powerchairs don't get enough positivity about their mobility aids.
an entire continent is shrouded in wildfire smoke. a whole ass motherfucking continent. not a state or province or region or even just one country. much of an entire. continent.
we do not have a few centuries or even 50 years to wait, we need to start now. if it is like this now i dont want to see what its like even 5 years from now.

💔 My Mother’s Life Depends on Your Kindness
My mother is in Gaza, where every day is a struggle to survive. Some time ago, she was injured when shrapnel from nearby shelling struck her back. She tried to endure the pain for as long as she could, but now her condition has become critical.
She has now been admitted to the hospital, and her condition is very serious. She is suffering from unbearable back pain, extreme exhaustion, and every passing day brings more suffering. Watching my mother fight through this pain while I can do so little is heartbreaking.
The doctors told us that she urgently needs emergency back surgery. They warned us that the operation must be performed within the next 6 days to prevent her condition from deteriorating further.
The cost of this life-saving surgery is $1,000.
Thanks to the incredible kindness of compassionate people, we have raised $292 so far ($188 from our previous appeal and $104 from our latest one). We are deeply grateful for every donation.
However, we still need $708 to give my mother the surgery that could save her from worsening pain and complications.
I am begging you from the bottom of my heart: please don’t scroll past my mother’s suffering. Time is running out, and every hour matters.
Every donation, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to saving her. Even $5 or $10 can make a real difference when many people come together.
If you are unable to donate, please share this post with your friends, family, and community. Your share could reach someone who is able to help save my mother’s life.
Please help us raise the remaining $708 within the next 6 days. My mother’s condition is very serious, and she cannot wait any longer.
Thank you for your kindness, your prayers, and for standing with my family during the most difficult time of our lives. ❤️🙏
