"XXXX says what they think."

Who cares?

Along with a few gems, a pile of garbage fills my head every day.

Our thoughts certainly don't represent the best of us. They don't even represent us, period.
They are uncontrollable whispers that offer just as many lies as truths.

We can choose.

Alt Text: What to Write Images are decorative, functional, or informative. Skip alt text for decorative. Describe the action for functional. Convey the message for informative.

Did you know that you should end your alt text with a period?

"End alt text with a period, even if it isn’t a full sentence. The period ensures that the screen reader pauses after reading the alt text."

This was a new tip for me. Glad to learn something new!

My insurance covers new orthotics once EVERY FIVE YEARS. The first pair I received wasn't ideal, so I've spent out of pocket twice more.

Stuff like this boils my blood. What, praytell, qualifies as a medical necessity? My friends with prosthetics depend upon them to lead full lives.

I'm holding my modified climbing shoe. You can see the screw-in point on the back.

Holding the entire leg brace and climbing shoe. The brace is connected to the shoe via a strut, and a large cuff with strap is on top.

I'm at an outdoor climbing crag putting my leg brace together. I'm cradling the brace in my arm while putting the screws in.

I'll share these brilliant orthotics with a new crowd, just in case it sparks similar solutions. These leg braces attach to a foot plate in the climbing shoe but connect outside via a slit in the back. The shop that did them can't mass produce, but I can share the idea. #AdaptiveSports #Climbing

I am hooking my left ice tool on a hold while moving forward on my bent right leg. Another ice tool hangs down.

Drytooling: Why just climb when you can climb with sharp stuff?

I am hanging on a lead rope in a climbing gym after taking a significant fall. I'm smiling at the camera.

Lead climbing, and taking lead falls, is a big deal for me. A lead climbing gym accident back in 2018 resulted in a lower-level spinal cord injury. I now wear leg braces to climb.

Leading again comes with some anxiety, but I'm grateful to still do the things I love . #Climbing #AdaptiveClimbing

My dog Frida is next to me in a selfie while hiking. She has large, pointed ears, a black face and a cookies-and-cream speckled snout. I'm wearing a sun hoodie, hat and sun glasses.

Happy fifth birthday to this nut. Her chaos brings joy.
