Mobility Aid Design Survey

Hey gang! I am a disabled college student on a team working on improved design for mobility aids, especially crutches and canes. If you have EVER used mobility aids (even as a short term user) and would be willing to fill out this survey for me, it would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Teachers when a child shows a single ounce of individuality or creativity:

[space-is-out-there]

As a teacher: the big sharpener should have just made her laugh. It’s funny.

But the 70 sharpeners thing is where it gets a bit dicey because yes it was obviously the child joking and having a sharpener collection but on the other you have to think: Why does this child have so many blades on school property?? Obviously you can know the child won’t do anything awful but you don’t know what some other person might do if they get it or if administration that DONT know your child finds it

[jdeko]

what nefarious thing is a child going to do with 70 intact sharpeners already at school? sneak into the bathroom where they hid a 2x4 and a tool box to build a macuahuitl?

[mobjack878]

hold on i need to google something

[mobjack878]

yeah this is funny

[earhartsease]

at least you can be pretty sure a kid with 70 sharpeners won't be sneaking into the bathroom to do blunts

an attempt to translate what she makes him ask for (sorry we don't have the spoons to do all her dialogue, but it's mostly being polite but refusing to know what he wants until he says the True Name of the item):

Kürbis-Knacki - pumpkin crunch (but cuter)

Ich bin ein dummes Stück Dreck - I'm a stupid piece of shit (well, dirt - but ya know)

Ich bin eine kleine gierige Sau *grünz grünz* - I'm a little greedy pig *grunt grunt*

and then she says Tu es - do it (but in the familiar, not the polite version) so he does

then the second guy comes in and says hallo, ich hätte gerne einen "Ich hasse meinen Vater" und zwei "Ich hab' 'nen kleiner Pim-" hi, I'd like an "I hate my dad" and two "I've got a small di-"

the word that gets cut off (sorry) is Pimmel which means dick

***

okay we have to add this on - we were curious about the etymology of Pimmel and the german etymology dictionary says it may be connected with Pimpern, a verb it goes on to say means Geschlechtsverkehr haben which means "to have sexual intercourse"

but here it gets way more interesting because the word for "intercourse" here is Geschlechtsverkehr and that translates literally as "gender traffic" and what

is this what comes after parking

This has reaction gif material

yes, she's got an amazing face and plays her role with perfection

The United States has always been a terrible place to be sick and disabled. Ableism is baked into our myths of bootstrapping and self-reliance, in which health is virtue and illness is degeneracy. It is long past time for a bedrock shift, for all of us.

Long covid has derailed my life. Make no mistake: It could yours, too.

[theperksofbeingahugefuckingcunt]

Because it is not mentioned by name in the article!:

If any of you develop “violent new food allergies” after having covid — even allergies that present as migraines, malaise, nausea, irritability rather than swelling and itching — you need to get checked for mast cell activation syndrome. It is staggeringly common to develop from long covid and is often treatable.

[rosslynpaladin]

If you develop in explicable fatigue that doesn't seem to get much better with rest but gets WAY WORSE when you push it/exert yourself- you may have gotten ME/CFS from Covid.

If you have the above but sometimes get away with a bit of exercise perking you up, but also heart palpitations, air hunger/ shortness of breath, graying out, or just fainting if you stand up too fast or bend over too fast, and/or maybe salt cravings, ask for a tilt table test and a cardiologist who knows about POTS as you may have POTS from Covid.

in some areas the long covid or unknown postviral condition stats are about one in ten. ONE IN TEN.

So no, you're not just Suddenly Feeling Awful. Please get bloodwork for vitamins, organ function, hormones, autoimmune markers etc, and testing done if you feel physically different now than in 2019 in any negative ways that affect your habits or life or job.

[earhartsease]

covid can give you dysautonomia and asthma too (ask us how we know) - basically it can fuck with your neurology and your autoimmune system and and and

and it's still very much around so wear masks!

[quasi-normalcy]

The fact that you can’t raise taxes on billionaires even slightly without them pouring money into fascist political movements is, of itself, evidence that billionaires as a class shouldn’t be allowed to exist in the first place.

[quasi-normalcy]

I’d just like to point out that every single thing that has happened in the 6 years since I created this post has only reinscribed its absolute moral correctness in my mind.

Can we please appreciate Odysseus being a silent stalker in the shadows, taking out suitors with his bow, not deigning to speak to them as he takes them out one by one

until some of them go "we have to strike him in the darkness too! we know the halls of this palace! the odds can be tilted!"

and Odysseus, built this palace with his very hands, has to step out of the shadows like "are you this fucking stupid"
