THIS IS YOUR REMINDER

Disabilities aids can be anything that helps you

ANYTHING

shiny rock stops panic attacks? AID! Allergy meds so you don’t sneeze? AID!

wheelchair? AID!

Stuffie that helps you? AID!

Glasses?! AID!!!!

CROCHET?! YEAH THATS AN AID TOO?!

NAME YOUR AIDS IN THE COMMENTS

I use an AAC, communication cards, noise canceling headphones, a SSD(stuffed service dog), a pain stimulator fidget, normal fidgets, loom knitting, braces, cane, anddd ESSAs!!!

YALL GO

so, I originally bought this harness for Freya, but sadly it was way too small for her :(

but, on Dagny, this harness looks perfect! she looks like she actually working now!!

don’t mess with her or her human, or she’ll steal all your shinies!

Can you tell that Void is more camera shy than Lumi? Lumi loves being the center of attention, while Void tends to tolerate it.

Getting a photo of these two together can be really difficult since Lumi wants to glow and Void Puppy wants to become, well, a void. The woes of having hounds of opposing elemental natures.

ID in alt text. Disability support stuffed animal flags. I used the standard disability flag then made some animal track overlays. The bird one, I referenced a cardinal track, but I'll be making more bird tracks for these kinds of flags, if there's interest. Feel free to leave species requests for these!

Domestic Dog - Domestic Cat

Rat - Bird

MEET ME, YOTEHOWL! 🦴🐾

please call me arlo, wolfy, or anything remotely canine.

i am a disabled, nonhuman, alterhuman minor!!

my posts will revolve around my plush, my experience as an alterhuman, my interests and hobbies.

my page is a safe space for myself and others.

my pronouns are mainly he/pups, and i use canine bioterms.

do NOT refer to me as human, i am strictly non human.

theriotypes:

coastal sea wolf

coyote

jackal

dhole

african wild dog

culpeo

maned wolf

crab eating fox

wolfdog

southern resident orca

fictionkins: [doubles are okay]

toothless from how to train your dragon

bolt from bolt 2008

potentially more.

i am a ESSA/DSSA/SSD HANDLER.

my plush assist me day to day with my disabilities and struggles. i use the term SSD since service dogs are sadly not compatible with my life forever, or at least a long time. i cannot afford one, cannot maintain vet bills, food, and housing. i cannot keep up with the training. and after all that, it could still all fail. SSD's are a valid aid for my disabilities, along with nearly every single aid. they just happen to be less common. i am physically and mentally disabled, and i have found that plush are a great support for me. i do NOT believe my plush can alert, and i do not mean any harm towards the service dog community. i do not mock service dog handlers, take away their resources, claim i am one, or fake my disabilities. i am just a disabled person using my aids. even if you have some of the same disabilities as me, doesn't mean we are the same. we all require different supports, and we all live our own lives.

I sometimes want to make a tiktok dedicated to Bailey but I'm also not good with videos 💔 I know it's not like, a required thing, but does anyone have any tips for that kind of thing?

Video ideas, things to keep in mind for privacy, that kind of stuff?

Especially since I keep hearing that "the essa community is dying" and similar. Plus I'm still kind of nervous cause I hear tiktok can be brutal and I know the essa community is mostly kids :<
