Hot Take But Canes Are Not A Limited Resource. Most Mobility Aids Aren’t But Canes Especially. Canes

I don’t know how many times this has to be said but:

ELEVATORS SHOULD BE THE STANDARD.

RAMPS SHOULD BE THE STANDARD.

SIGN LANGUAGE INTERPRETERS SHOULD BE THE STANDARD.

BRAILLE MENUS SHOULD BE THE STANDARD.

ACCESSIBILITY SHOULD BE THE GODDAMN STANDARD.

Thank you and goodnight.

Sincerely, a very fucking pissed off disabled person.

My heart hurts so to distract myself Imma tell you why vision tests are stupid.

Ok so I recently got my learners permit so I had to take a vision test but that one wasn’t bad. But it made me think about how much bullshit vision tests are.

When you take a vision test and they have you do your eyes separately but you have to read the same line?

Idk about other people but I already memorized what the line says because the doctor always makes me read with my dominant eye first, so I know what the line says even if I can’t see it clearly?!?

And I tried to convey this to my doctor and she was like well then you can read it, which no?!?

So now I have a lighter prescription than I used to and I can’t see well for shit.

Yo I also have over pronated ankles and wear insoles and hypermobile eds, but I have been wearing these insoles for a decade and I was only diagnosed with eds earlier this year. And they’re custom insoles from like a military doctor because of how messed up my ankles are cause they normally only do those for veterans and not dependents.

How did it take this long for me to be diagnosed?!?!?

I’ve been unable to get the insoles I have been using for years and went with a “recommended brand”.

Of course I spent a whole month trying to keep my knee in place before it occured to me that the new insoles were not doing their job.

Anyway, I now recommend PCSsole Heavy Duty Arch supports for over pronation, because I can walk again.

This is kinda weird but I’m trying to figure out how weird my ankles actually are. I have over-pronated ankles but high arches, which apparently is strange because flat feet cause over-probated ankles and high arches cause under-pronated.

Over-pronated ankles look like ) (

Under-pronated ankles look like ( )

And normal ankles are straight | |

Please reblog if you care to so I can get a larger sample! It would be much appreciated!

Saw an extremely good sign on the bus today

Who the FUCK decided that insurance companies get to decide what’s medically necessary????????

Favorite pride memory?

Ok so as I’ve said before, I’ve never been to a pride parade or protest because I’m not exactly allowed to go, but I do quietly celebrate pride.

Last year, I was inspired by a video I saw to make a cactus sweater! Y’know cause ace/aro cactus! So that’s probably my favorite pride memory
