I know that Ea-nasir is like a meme these days but it is wild that we have complaint letters from 1750 BC. That's over three thousand years before the release of Belgian techno anthem "Pump Up the Jam".

Come on, Ruth. This place is a house of horrors. Life is a house of horrors. You should know that better than anyone, Tom. I've always worried about you. You've-You've worried about me? Why? You avoid the truth. I mean, you want this to be Martha's Vineyard. It's never gonna be. There's no bliss waiting at the finish line. Even if there was, it would just be taken away from you.

[whitachi]

I'm sorry I read this as "necromantic third wheel" and went on a very rapid powerful imagination adventure. hello lovebirds I'm the skeleton here for breadsticks

[beggars-opera]

I maintain that "necromantic third wheel" is just Emerson Cod

[spin-the-wheel-polls]

You wake up one day and discover you've lost control over a random action or feeling!

Spin the wheel to find out what!

How bad is it?

Actually way better than before!

I really wish it was common knowledge that powerchair features like tilt in space, reclining backrests and elevating leg rests are medically necessary features rather than luxuries. Or failing that for people to just not comment on it when they see a mobility aid with a feature that they aren’t familiar with.

It would be great if I could reposition, relieve pressure and pain and help my body tolerate being out of bed without someone feeling the need to make a comment about how “it’s not bedtime yet” or “I wish I could relax like that whenever I wanted”

[small-witch-big-hat]

if you comment on a mobility aid to any effect other than "that's cool, I didn't know that was a thing!" or "damn I'm glad you get the mobility aids you need" or "maybe I should stop ignoring my own pain and frailties and see if a cane or other aids might help me live my life more easily" then you get hit with an anvil, new rule

[flowercrowncrip]

Honestly, even these would rub me up the wrong way in certain contexts. My rule would be to not bring it up unless A) the wheelchair user themselves brings it up or B) it’s immediately necessary (like explaining where the wheelchair access to your shop is)

I often get people saying my chair is cool and they haven’t seen something like it before and it’s something I tolerate rather than appreciate. Because while I might be the first person you’ve met with a tilt in space chair with a non-standard control mount, you are far from the first person I’ve met that day who hasn’t come across someone like me before. Especially if you’ve just met me or we’re still getting to know each other, then it’s just a reminder to me that my wheelchair is the first thing people see when they look at me.

I’d also definitely steer clear of “I’m glad you get the mobility aids you need”, because unless someone has told you that their current aid meets all their needs, how would you know? My chair looks fancy and high tech but I can list a bunch of ways it doesn’t fully meet my needs without even thinking about it. It also brings the focus back to my wheelchair and comes across as implying that I need to be grateful for it. Which if I haven’t started that conversation is very uncomfortable.

I’d also be careful with bringing up your own health stuff with random wheelchair users you don’t know especially if you wouldn’t be having that same conversation if our disability wasn’t so visible. This one is more nuanced and Obviously if we know each other then that’s one thing, but you wouldn’t believe how often I get random strangers telling me about their bad knees, dodgy backs and other health stuff. Often it’s well meaning attempts at connection but if you don’t know me well you have no idea what I’ll be able to relate to and the conversation can become very one sided. I remember talking about this with a friend who has a traumatic SCI, and he told me about struggling through a conversation with a near stranger weighing up if their chronic pain meant they should use a wheelchair yet and him not knowing how to politely say that he had no idea because the choice to use a wheelchair was made for him in the most traumatic experience of his life.

And I’m aware that I’m just one powerchair user, and often have different opinions on things like this to other wheelchair users, but it’s worth being aware of that not everyone has the same experiences with this.

[small-witch-big-hat]

Thank you for the addition!! My experience using mobility aids is limited to occasionally needing a cane, so obviously different than yours

[flowercrowncrip]

You’re welcome, thank you for being nice about it :-)

ID / TL;DW: young Black man explains the history of voodoo dolls: they originated in England, where Black people where prohibited from learning to read or write, to help witches keep track of what ailed their patients. Eg., person goes to witch and laments headache, they treat their headache and make a small doll (called "poppet"), trying to represent them as good as possible, stick a needle in its head and put it up a shelf. When they return next week, the witch takes their poppet and asks about their headache. If it's gone, they remove the needle, otherwise they know they have to treat a rather persistent headache.

my finished tarot cards so far, im having a lot of fun with these! the only one missing here is the wheel of fortune, which i finished last week but i havent scanned yet. these are all made with scraps collaged and sewn into rectangles of jean fabric. i love my sewing machine so much but i do want to try handsewing one of the cards at some point, even if its not as time efficient

So, last year we did this icebreaker at work, where everyone had to go around and say their name, their hometown and their hobby. But you have no hobbies. Nor passions nor pastimes. I know. So, what'd you say?
