I bring a real 'actually people who are pregnant do deserve some special consideration because they are effectively at least temporarily disabled if not permanently after some complications' vibe to the party that a lot of people don't seem to like

pride month is almost over I would just like to say happy pride to boring LGBTQ people in particular. everyone expects us to be brilliant creatives and scientists and interior decorators and quirky professors and tortured artists but some of us wear nothing but Kirkland Signature clothing and watch Friends and The Office and are incapable of having an interesting conversation and that is okay. our diversity is our strength.

[byjove]

talking to a very boring LGBTQ person once in a while is so refreshing, you’re like “Whoa! You’re so average and normal! You’re like a coworker at an office job! The only thing we have in common is our LGBTQ identity and that is beautiful!”

it really is annoying as hell how someone will talk about how poor people can't avoid ethically dubious products because of how being poor works and then someone with a two story house in the suburbs will take that to mean they can order harry potter books through a drone delivery from amazon and if you criticize that you're a bigot

[anglaised]

the desire to pretend white women are simply always victims and groomed into fascist movements instead of being willing participants is by design, u have been taught ur entire life that white women are dainty angels that have to be lead and protected and no harm they do is fault of their own, thats why u think literal nazi women are just confused harmless babies, it’s designed that way on purpose

thinking about wheelchair!johnny again and some details nondisabled folks might miss

(note i'm an ambulatory/motorized wheelchair user so this may not be completely identical to a manual wheelchair user's experience, especially pre-ADA)

- wheelchair accessories! so many accessories. a bag and a cup holder are a MUST. for johnny i can see either a small backpack or a repurposed pocket of some old jeans for the bag. it's not as easy to balance/carry stuff on your lap as you might think. and if johnny has a bowel program where he has to go at scheduled intervals, he's need to keep the supplies (gloves, catheter, etc) on him at all times. probably a change of clothes, too, just in case shit happens. (no pun intended)

- gloves to protect his hands, but also because it gets cold more easily (see below). could be either fingerless gloves or regular ones.

- a blanket! when he's rolling and not moving his legs, he get cold easily, i mean, you're making your own wind when you roll.

- accessible clothes! no long jackets or flowy sleeves that can get caught on or under wheels.

- handlebar spikes so no one tries to grab or move him without permission

- a flag on the back so people in cars can still see him. could be a bike flag but i can also see him using a pirate flag (because i'm hilarious and did that exact thing)

- a grabber to reach things that are up high without needing another person there.

- getting used to judging incline and door width. on that note, lots of doors even if they are wide enough are not automatic and it's stupid as fuck, but like. sometimes you have to yank open a door and hold your arm out to keep the door kind-of open so you can roll through it. yes this is annoying and i have banged into several doors and doorframes this way.

- it also helps to have someone to hold the door for you! strangers usually want to be helpful if you're by yourself.

- on a similar note, holding an arm out so the elevator door doesn't close on you. you also get good at judging the size of a small space and if you can turn around in it or not. you also get good at backing out of places.

- crip time! crip time crip time crip time! it takes extra time to do everything: getting in a car or out of it, going the bathroom, finding an accessible entrance (altho these were probably nigh nonexistant in 1965.) just - you have to think through everything in a new way. it takes time to make that mental adjustment.

also, in general, all of this is a learning curve - i've had my chair for about a year (granted i don't go out much) and i'm still learning.

[obliqueletterkennyreference]

a good example of crip time in this context is like - mans needs to pee, right? and if he has a program i imagine he goes every 2-4 hours depending on how much water he's had. so first there's a judgemental call he needs to make about how much water to have depending on what he's doing that day and where he's going to be. then he needs to remember/realize it's time for him to go, since he has no internal signal to remind him. then there's getting to the bathroom, taking his regular gloves off, washing hands, making sure he has a catheter and rubber gloves and that they're clean and useable (and probably hand sanitizer if he's using a public bathroom). then getting on the toilet, doing the program, cleaning himself up, and disposing of the trash, then washing his hands again. all that? is crip time!

just! everything has to be broken down into steps and those steps take time! they do eventually become routine and mundane, but it cycles. crip time is cyclical time. johnny will be fine with it 9 times and the 10th time he's so frustrated over it he could cry. and then it cycles back to him being fine again.

[veggiesforpresident]

another thought - i think johnny would be very diligent about all this, unlike other characters. like two-bit, for example, who would give himself a bladder infection or shit himself in public (again) before actually admitting he needs to get serious about it.
