Just a friendly reminder that “handicap” or “handicapped” in the context of referring to disabled people or the needs of disabled people is outdated terminology which many find offensive.

It’s hard being a caregiver and supporter, when you’re used to being the patient. My sister is having major surgery today, the same jaw replacement that I had in 2018, and I am really struggling with not being the center of attention.

The disabled community is the largest minority that anyone can join.

Nothing like relaxing during a thunderstorm with some knitting and a good audiobook!

Disabled people do not choose to not be able to work.

Disabled people do not choose to live in poverty.

Disabled people do not choose to be disabled.

This is a sister appreciation post! My sister made me this necklace with Wylie’s birthstone and mine as a Christmas gift after remembering that I said I wanted one. She’s the best!

On a different note, I broke my ankle Wednesday night when I passed out and fell off the couch and got my foot stuck under said couch.

Any day involving friends, crafting, and coffee is pretty darn near perfect in my book!

Choosing to be ethical and decent should never be controversial.

It was fiber arts day at the library (happens every Thursday) and I got my usual oat milk latte with sweetener and was working on my dad’s Musselburgh hat. Knitting with friends makes my week!
