Disabled bathroom psa:
When I and other wheelchair users are talking about how abled people should not be using disabled toilets I can almost garente that they are not talking about your standard slightly larger stall in a bathroom with only two stalls. Im talking about separate bathrooms designed entirely for disabled people. Handicap bathrooms are different from handicap stalls. They are a separate room with its own toilet sink and mirror all positioned with the equipment designed for those with mobility issues and mobility aids such as walkers, gait trainers, wheelchairs, and crutches. A handicap stall is a stall ment to be wide enough to alow a wheelchair to fit (most don't though especially if you are fat or in a power chair.) With one or two grab bars placed. I don't care about people using the handicap stall if others are taken, they need the extra room (bags don't count, I mean things like strollers, todlers, fat, and autistic people not your shopping) those who need the grab bars like people with mobility issues, back problems, and invisible disabilities. I also don't care if you use it because all the others are in use. I care when people use it to make stupid videos on their phone, hang out, smoke, or just cause they like it when there are a dozen other stalls available. I swear most of you never think of anything besides making sure that you are never the one in the wrong.🙄
If I'm not talking about you, IM NOT TALKING ABOUT YOU.
I am talking about those who use those bathrooms as a fashion changing stall. The ones who smoke and film tik toks talking about the crazy disabled person knocking on the door. I am talking about the people who, after telling then I am going to pee myself decide that acting like I don't exist or that they can't here me will make me go away and guess what? Make me pee all over myself.

Friendly reminder that not everyone with cerebral palsy needs canes or other visible mobility aids, but still needs to use the accessible bathroom (unstable trunk/floppy/dystonic, needs the handrails, wears diapers and somebody else has to change them, etc.)...
If your only criterion for being allowed to use the accessible bathroom is "I can see that they have a mobility aid", you don't seem to know much about disabilities apart from your own...

Everybody talking about how lucky PC players are to get to play 1.6 but I've seen no one mention that aaaallll the mods don't work now and it's the first time some of us have played unmodded in years, I forgot how hard the beginning of a new save is 💀
Also hey if you can and want to, I bet your favorite mod creators would love some donations as they work on updating compatibility! I know that's what I'm doing today!

So it's fine when I walk around with a cane, but when I run on all fours it's "unacceptable" and "terrifying"

the thing is whenever I see discourse on who can “really” use disabled accommodations coming from people with invisible disabilities I’m like. Ok. You guys need to realize being physically disabled does not automatically equal “I get access to all the cool disabled stuff now”, if you don’t actually need it, don’t fucking use it. It doesn’t matter if you’re physically disabled or not, if you don’t need the big bathroom or the special seats or whatever, then don’t use it bruh.

The laundry trolley - the improved way to do your washing with CFS!
Muscle weakness is one of the sucky things about CFS, and quite frankly one of the most annoying things (for me at least)! We have to put triple, or even quadruple the amount of effort into doing the simplest tasks compared to able-bodied people, and doing the laundry is no exception. The lifting, the hanging, it can do a number on you.
I'll be honest, I didn't know laundry trolleys existed until I got desperate enough to do some googling. After my shower stool, it was the next purchase I made to improve my life and man, I could never live without it now! I use it everyday.
Tumblr media
I bought mine from the local hardware store for around $20 NZD. Its simple and plain in design but it does the job wonderfully! An added benefit is that it can fold up partially, as well as flat for storage when not in use. There are fancier, bigger and more expensive laundry trolleys out there, but this one suits me and my compact house better.
Tumblr media
I wheel it into our laundry room when a wash load is finished, fill it up with our clothes, and wheel it outside to the line. Its the perfect height that there's no bending to get laundry out of the basket.
Its also made washing our bedsheets a whole lot easier too! We all know how much damp bedsheets can weigh, and its exhausting to hold them up while we hang them on the line. When I hang out our bedsheets, I can spread the weight by leaving a majority of the sheet in the basket while picking up one part at a time to hang. I then wheel the trolley along while picking up more of the bedsheet until its all hung up.
The trolley has the added benefit that I can use it to move other things around the house and in the garden - just plop the items in the basket and wheel it away!
Its really worth it to invest in a laundry trolley, there's no need to exhaust yourself lifting the washing again!

Can we have cane nooks in public bathrooms?
Like I was just in a library bathroom and my cane kept sliding while I was washing my hands and it was super hard to hold onto my cane and wash my hands.
It would be helpful if there were dips in the counter in-between each sink so I can rest my cane in there and not have to worry about it falling.

Reminding myself to think about the logistics of Scallop aging essentially in dog years and also attending school.... Need to decide whether he is forced to attend middle school as a person with the emotional maturity of a 19 year old or if he is just homeschooled

shout out to my teacher because I've been having a lot of episodes and missing large amounts of class to go sob in the bathroom and i emailed her like "listen i have BPD and class has been triggering episodes but i didn't want to give the school my diagnosis because that's what lead to me having to leave my last college but if i really need to give the school my diagnosis plz let me know" and she was like "oh that makes sense, just wave to me if you have to leave and i won't mark it"
