Also if you shave your legs? Shower chair. Makes that so much easier.
Even if you aren't disabled now, you could end up disabled, and having one on hand makes things much easier. Can't stand upright and get faint when exposed to more than room temperature water after a nasty bout of illness? Shower chair. (My long covid is why I first got one!) Had emergency spine surgery like my partner did? shower chair.
Accessibility tools aren't just useful for accessibility, and buying a mass produced product like this isn't taking anything away from disabled people. It's just increasing the demand for accessibility tools.
this disability pride month I’d like to spread the gospel of the shower chair. I’m not disabled but my father is, and when I first started visiting him from out of town I’d move his chair in and out of the tub as I showered until one day I said fuck it and kept it in.
And oh my god.
If you’re a person who needs a 1000°F shower, get a chair. Get a chair and let yourself sit in the sauna. It’s amazing.
Long live the shower chair.

God, right? So much has changed in the past decade and that's not even counting the stuff that I left out of the early 00s post!
How have conventions (programming, merchandise, attendees, guests, etc) changed since you started going to cons?
This is such a huge question that I can’t possibly begin to answer all of it unless I wrote a book. Since I sadly don’t have time to write a book, I’ll answer with a few things off the top of my head. (For the record, my con experience has been anime cons in Northern California [barring trips down to AX in 2003 and 2016], starting in 2003, but seeing parts of anime fandom and cosplay and con culture through the internet a year or so before that. I was in my early teens when I started attending cons, so my experience may differ a bit from someone who was older when they started.)

We interrupt our regularly-scheduled POC awesomeness to bring you a single post of WHAT. THE. FUCK.
Did Oniisama E just choose a shot of a neon sign as the characters walked down the street to lampshade its Radclyffe Hall influences?
Above: screenshot from Oniisama E episode 20, an extremely famous photo of Radclyffe Hall, old book cover with an illustration based on Radclyffe ‘John’ Hall and her girlfriend.
Is this just in my head? It just seems like a pretty fucking huge coincidence, given that I wrote my undergraduate dissertation on the contrasts and similarities between Oscar from The Rose of Versailles and Stephen Gordon from The Well Of Loneliness.

Obsessed with some of the wilder bunnysuits they did (mostly in the 80s but we also got some Pucci prints in the 60s) like this one that's currently on ebay

The colors! The pattern! It reminds me of sherbet in the best way
#real talk with fabrickind#bunnysuits#playboy bunny#ebay is unironically the best resource for amateur playboy bunny costume historians btw#you can get SO MANY interior photos
