Something a little different from the last piece, I’ve only just started doing digital art but I think I’m okay at it? Anyway, cute cottagecore wheelchair kitty ❤️
Something that occurred to me, you know that post on how you are allowed to create some joy out of your disability. You can decorate your mobility aid or any other tools you need to take on the world? Etc.
Well society basically already does this with GLASSES. We have them to fit our personality, we even have designer ones now. Glasses are so common now, that we don't really view it as a disability in the same way anymore, unless you are a certain level of blindness. We really have options because it is an extremely common disability.
But it's still an extension of yourself that you need to help you in your day to day life. So if we're allowed to have glasses in all kinds of colours and styles, and even designer, why not your mobility aid? Or any other tool we need? It is exactly the same.
And it literally harms no one, so enjoy it. Make it you.
Speaking of commissions here. This money is for my turtle fund. I am adopting them from my PCA who can no longer care for them and they badly need to be rehomed. Just about all of the money raised will be going to their care because right now I just cannot afford the expenses and they need a better chance. Please help me give them that!!
Here are examples of my Disabled Beauty Series!
[ID: four digital paintings.
The first depicts a queer and punk black person with dark skin standing with the aid of a forearm crutch. The colors are very vibrant and the background has a ring of pills
The second depicts a white woman in a red wheelchair. She is dressed in all black outside of her yellow scarf. The background is yellow and covered in an assortment of yellow flowers
The third depicts a woman with tan skin who is standing with the aid of a cane. She is wearing a white flowy dress and the background is adorned with pink fairy lilies
And last is a digital painting of Stacey Park Milburn. She is a smiling chinese american woman sitting in a power wheelchair. She has a trach and glasses. The background is filled with a lot of very vibrant flowers of all sorts.]
ID: Three semi-transparent acrylic chain link wrist straps attached to a pink cane lying on a white background. One wrist strap is pink and yellow, one is in trans pride colors, and the last is rainbow.
Today's outfit was inspired by @beeandpuppycat ! 💖🌸✨ @dreams-in-inks and I celebrated our anniversary properly and really enjoyed the weather. 🌞
My new, official Puppycat plush arrived today as well! I feel so lucky to have one of the original, official Puppycat plushes, (the talking one,) fan-made plushes, and now this one. Bee and Puppycat is tied for my favourite animation/comics. It's particularly emotional for me, and I'll always hold it so close to my heart.
Please check out my update. I'm heartbroken. I was in the hospital and everything is getting worse and scarier. I told my family and they didn't care. They get defensive and upset when I try to ask for help and I'm realizing more and more how little I mean to them. It would mean so so much If y'all would read and share my story. I've lost so much to my illnesses. But I just want to share positivity and love.
idk who needs to see this but i see you there, holding on with all you have left, even when you feel you have nothing to give. I see you. I hear you. I feel you. Just get through to tomorrow💜✨
Wow, I just experienced my first nasty little person on Tumblr! Someone that doesn’t believe that chronic illness, incurable and physical disabilities exist! She says the word ‘spoonie’ disgusts her. Oh sweetie, you disgust me too.
She decided to interact with this post and send me one of The Articles, y’know , those ones. I was having a bad day already ngl.
Anyway reminder that chronic illness and disability isn’t the fault of the person going through it, and being chronically ill and/or disabled doesn’t make you ‘damaged goods’. Radical acceptance aids healing and adaptation.
