which like.. on the one hand, bit funny. on the other.. we don't know enough men/have enough male friends round to actually solve this problem so ??

something I did not expect about adopting quite young cats as a lesbian couple is that they've become frightened of men purely by accident, because we barely know any

First day back on court and I was the first to score in lay ups 🥳🥳 very happy

‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’

Successfully cleared to take my sling off and go back to using my shoulder 🥳 consultant was very impressed with me, I feel like I got a good grade in shoulder today

"how do you do, fellow kids?" meme

It's so

Normally people jump away from the triride because they're spooked by the motor noise behind them (fair) so I'm very confused by today's apparent zombie hoard! I don't get it either, obviously I need both my hands so can't but the world is very interesting when you actually look at it

All these people were actually quite lucky I have quick reflexes because my braking distance is not great in the rain, and a triride to the shins sounds quite painful

Well you would think that but you aren't glued to your phone for a start

TRULY this is the systemic ableism we talk about

Is there something in the air today? I had about 5 people almost walk into my Triride (with the light on!) within about half a mile earlier

It won't let me post if I put alt text on pictures (??) so ID: two yellow chicane fences, designed to slow down cyclists, at the bottom of a smooth downhill slope. The handlebars of a wheelchair front assist are visible at the bottom

I understand why they've put these in on campus but I still think they're ruining my fun

Actually wild how it only takes one productive afternoon to make a degree feel doable again

This is a thought I have neither the capacity nor the skills to action but I would love to do a Wikipedia edit-a-thon for disabled people

Tbf this is semi close to my experience of being a wheelchair user in Yorkshire, but those people are doing that for the love of the game rather than being forced to

Letting agent sent someone to fix our broken gate but he didn't say he was there or anything, he just turned up and silently started faffing with the gate?? I'm so confused by this interaction

mum come pick me up the group chat is debating whether the social model can be applied to everyone's individual experiences of disability again

it's my first time having cats at this time of year and i have never been more anti fireworks in my entire life

two cupcake cases full of meat pate and topped with licky lick (liquid meat) and a stick of meat

a black cat and a black and white cat eating the aforementioned cupcakes. the black and white cat (right) has a whole jaw full of pate

They ate it so fast I don't think they really tasted it but it kept us amused

Happy Halloween, we're making cupcakes and we're weirdly sad the cats can't have them so we're making them fun dinner in cupcake cases purely for our own enjoyment

Can't believe this is how I find out that statue is an avocado

There are many unexpected perks to being a wheelchair user and one of these is that I just got my third pity setlist at a concert in 12 months 😎

A link to an article titled "Stop placing the onus on neurodivergent students to 'fit in'" in the middle of the above article, circled in yellow

Hilariously ironic hyperlinking going on here

Oh I love that 🥲 both people in that story are deaf actually, although it's occurred to me they don't know that about each other. Friend in hospital is still quite new to disabled community and is always amazed people will help her without expecting anything in return, bless her

For some reason after SUCH a weird month this was the thing to make me cry. The time and energy outlay for a complete stranger, because she's friends with me and in a shit situation

Disabled community is the best for many reasons, but today because one of my friends has spent their evening practicing toilet transfers from weird angles to show another of my friends it'll be possible in her bathroom once she's discharged from hospital

They don't know each other. At all

it is only natural that when 3 autistic people go on a work trip together there should be a false fire alarm at 1am

Yeah I'm with some dis-abled ambulant legged colleagues tomorrow and am already reminding myself to SLOW DOWN 😂😅

Yeah I looked up the price of a replacement triride battery earlier out of curiosity and YIKES

I agree with you on the speed thing. Insurance sometimes requires 4mph which stops a front attachment being able to handle offroad because it's not enough power
