Help Me Get New Mobility Aids!!!

Happy Disability Pride Month! I initially wasnt going to make a post to try to get new mobility aids/tools, but I really need them, so what the hell.

I am a multiply disabled Black lesbian and I have been without proper supportive mobility since the start of the pandemic. I had many of my things broken or thrown away during this time period, and I thought I could go without but its been so long and I really cant anymore.

I need smart/ergonomic forearm crutches because regular forearm crutches wreck my fragile hypermobile wrists, I need braces for both legs and ankles, a shower bench and detachable showerhead. All of this combined is a bit over $550.

I REALLY need this, esp the crutches! My mobility and bodily autonomy would be GREATLY increased If I was able to get these items. I

i’m mentally ill too but fucking listen to me here. you need to take responsibility for your actions regardless of whether or not they’re a product of your mental illness. you don’t get to manipulate, gaslight, take advantage of, or straight up abuse people because you’re mentally ill! you don’t! what the fuck! why are some of you still thinking it’s okay to say things like “manipulation is okay because i have _____ and need attention from my significant other” oh my god. Don’t fucking do that

Also, like if you need something from others, like attention or to be left alone or whatever, you can ask for it. It’s not manipulative to be like “hey, can you focus on me for a bit I really need that right now.” Like attention and love is not worth less if you ask for it vs. manipulating someone into volunteering those things. And if your partner is a jerk about giving you attention when you need it, dump them.

its a new month, and my beloved and i are still in need of aid. i have been working for a bit now, but the pay is not enough to afford day to day expenses, and my health has been shaky and i don’t know when the worst of my symptoms will catch up with me and leave me once again unable to work. support via direct contributions, ko-fi, patreon, or by purchasing something from one of our two wishlists helps a lot! thanks so much!

(ps PLEASE DONT TAG THIS WITH “mutual aid”/“donation”/anything similar!!!)

this might be a hot take but i think we should still be required to wear masks on airplanes

we need to start hounding people into wearing masks again. why aren’t you wearing a mask on public transit? why aren’t you wearing a mask in the crowded grocery store? why aren’t you wearing a mask in the literal hospital? if you’re half as progressive as you claim to be you’d require masks at your busy events. you’re not a progressive if you’re leaving out the immunocompromised. plus covid can still fuck you up even if you’re perfectly healthy and had your vaccines. wouldn’t you rather be unnecessarily cautious than risk getting yourself or someone else sick? put your mask back on in the crowded mall. coward

Stagnant is a really terrible word choice, marinades are about flavor and if sufficiently acidic can penetrate and tenderize about a quarter inch into the meat, while brines use salt to make meat tender and juicy all the way through but impart relatively little flavor other than risk of over salting.

You want to avoid brining and marinating at the same time, but brining first, then marinating can make for some exquisite cooking. Also don’t switch the order, brining second will steal the marinade flavors, and for thinner cuts a marinade might be all you need anyway.

I’m relieved this post has some good replies rejecting this brine propoganda.

i literally think of that “polynesians first to discover antarctica, not news to maori” headline so much it’s so fucking funny

highly skilled ocean voyagers living close to antarctica who have oral history of heading south and discovering a land full of ice sheets and mountains of ice and snow were first to discover antarctica, not news to said group of people

the 4chan poisoning is not and has never been specific to just white trans women it's a white women problem period, and the reason people think it's specific to transfems has to do with trans existence being made a spectacle in a way that lets others slide for the same behavior  — cetacean defender extraordinaire (@yabalchoath) August 22, 2023ALT
Black and other racialized trans folks have talked at length about how white transfem 4chan poisoning affects us but don't ever get it twisted this is not evidence of "male socialization" bcs if that were the case tmes wouldn't be treating us like porn categories  — cetacean defender extraordinaire (@yabalchoath) August 22, 2023ALT
