Idk how many of my followers have watched The Program on Netflix but if you haven't I'd really love if you did. I went to a school they mentioned in it, in the same organization and it would mean a lot to me if you kept the information in the spotlight. ♥

Thank you!

shower stool is GREAT. i prep food sitting on the couch with a big cutting board i can sit on my lap and bowls on the coffee table to hold veggies in. stools/bar chairs were too painful to sit in for me bc of the lack of back support and height compared to my counters.

i also take prenatal vitamins, they've helped my energy levels more than regular vitamins.

if you can afford it I get a meal service that has healthy food but also takes less than 20 minutes to make (most of them take between 8-15 minutes) and also has groceries so it's meal prep and groceries in one and i dont have to go to the store as much. (it's called hungryroot)

i sit in my rollator to do care tasks like brush my teeth and do my hair. it helps me to have small disposable cups in the bathroom to use to brush my teeth and spit in instead of trying to stand at the sink.

i have a yoga ball in the living room to sit on when sitting anywhere else becomes uncomfortable. my PT recommended that. it also is the perfect height to prop my feet up when i'm having POTS symptoms.

if you live in an apartment and you can get a note from your dr they have to make reasonable accommodations for you like putting up support bars in the bathroom/shower. those have helped me a lot.

i also have a "med cart" it's a rolling craft cart where I keep all my important things like meds, hair ties, lotions, SNACKS (very important), braces, pulse ox/glucose monitor, etc. so that everything you need is in one place and you can take it easily wherever in the house you are.

dear disabled people, how do you accommodate your home?

i have shower stool (my recent purchase and i'm so happy with it) and thinking about getting a tall chair (like ones they have at bars) for cooking/doing dishes

The old school lack of transparency on tumblr is amazing because you assume the people you follow must all be equivalent to you and then you see someone write “I brought my youngest to college today” and someone else write “my mom wouldn’t let me listen to Ariana Grande when I was a kid” and then your head explodes

Pride and Prejudice is such underrated autistic representation because the entire plot is like

Darcy: Yay I'm doing a good job socializing! This conversation is going so well!

Elizabeth: What the fuck is your problem?

Darcy: Oh no I am not doing a good job socializing this conversation is not going well.

what companies who sell you anti aging stuff don't want you to know is that if you're chill about aging, your perception of attractiveness changes as you get older. there is no "wall" where you suddenly become ugly and unfuckable because in my experience what actually happens is you get into your thirties and suddenly realize that people in their thirties are hot as fuck and the "flaws" that the beauty industry wants you to panic about are a feature not a bug, and based on the std statistics in nursing homes I don't really expect that trajectory to change.

“Everything is ableism these days”

Have you considered the fact that disabled people seeing ableism in every day language and life says more about society and its culture/history than it does about disabled people as a whole?
