try grabbing me by the handles *now* jerkass

crplpnk is something that is very personal to me. it is for physically disabled people, not people who's only disabilities are mental. this is about people with physical disabilities getting angry and pissy at those without. crplpnk is getting pissed when people don't take invisible disabikities into account because they're not visible, not taking mobility aids into account because they see you as less than human. if you want to use crplpnk i will run you over with my wheelchair and then you too can experience chronic pain!!!

seriously though I've been arguing with my insurance for five months to get me fucking braces that i desperately need so i won't be in agony whenever i try to do things i enjoy, i lay in bed in pain 5 days out of seven in a good week!! you do not experience this and do not get to reclaime a slur that would never be applied to you

me, watching a video on a cute disabled character: awww!!!

the comments: *chock full of abelism*

anyways I'm literally so sick of this, we're not a lesser breed of people, and representation is so fucking important. we deserve positivity, and id you think we don't then you'd better fucking remember you can become disabled at any fucking moment.

i just want to see positivity for disabled people and characters without abelists and eugenicists shitting all over it immedietly.

abelists dni, abelds can add on but don't fucking clown or i will bite you

also hey, does anyone have any tips for getting a good active wheelchair? i use my chair often, and usually push myself, but o have bad joints, a horrible elbow, and muscle fatigue, and sometimes i need my partner to push me around. i know quickies are shit, but i just don't know any good wheelchair makers! thanks!

hey so, I'm not blind, but if i were to theoretically make braille patches (blind people can read them and spice up their jackets) would y'all be interested in them? there's a specific embroidery stitch called a french knot that i believe would work, and i could put it on a super smooth fabric to reduced background noise

[i.d. five round tubes lined up neatly. each are different colors, and they say "nuun" on the side. one is rest, one immunity, vitamins, sport plus caffeine, and sport. there is a pink water bottle behind them. end i.d.]

aaa!!! got some nuun tablets today! one of each kind!!! the taste is pleasant, the fizz is minimal, and if it helps me get more electrolytes and stay more hydrated I'm very happy!!!

I'll keep y'all updated w/ how they affect me and my fellow spoonie partner

hey, do any other chronic pain pals have tips for joint (specifically elbow) pain? i usually wear armwarmers but my skin can get a bit sensitive to the fabrics at times. I've tried tiger balm before but it didn't seem to help? and I'd put a heating pad on it if i weren't afraid of messing up the nearby muscles :(

(for ref: unlike all my other joint pain (eds) this one is from a broken elbow that never healed properly. it's a really old injury too.)

thanks!!!
