In case anyone finds it helpful because mobility aids are horrifically expensive and inaccessible…

And for those people who have access to mobility devices but might benefit from a second chair they can abuse without risking expensive damage…

Erik Kondo has made a website, Open Source Innovations, that details plans for DIY wheelchairs. These wheelchairs can be made from common materials like wood, plastic, and pvc. They are lightweight and can be custom fit to the user allowing from the same degree of movement you would get from a custom chair. And they are durable and easily repairable. (he has been stress testing his latest design by dropping it down stairs, dropping it out of a car, launching it across a driveway, and throwing it off a deck). Its 12lbs and I think he said its was in the $200 ish range for parts.

He also is working on cheap, open source, accessible designs for beach chairs, off road chairs, motorized attachments (think smart drive), and so on. Plus he skateboards in his wheelchair. Cool dude, helpful info, pass it on.

some autistic people will never be able to have a job or live alone, some women that are transvestigated in bathrooms will have a penis, sometimes a trans women will win a sport she is "naturally" gifted in such as being really tall and playing basketball and sometimes the homeless guy panhandling really will just spend that money on cigarettes and scratchers instead of food. they are still human beings that dont deserve to be tormented by the legal system and paranoid freaks

Anyway, the pet scams and the other scams weren't known to be scams because they "seemed like scams" or because they "looked weird". They were known to be scams because if you reverse-searched the images, you found them stolen from different social media platforms with conflicting stories.

The same is done extensively with every Gazan gofundme, and the ones that don't hold up to scrutiny aren't vetted. (For starters, the vetting process is much more involved than reverse image search.)

It's pitiful that people are crying "what happened to online safety and internet literacy?" and in the same breath saying "this is clearly a scam because they used emojis". That's the opposite of scam-busting.

By all means don't donate if you're nervous, but don't start claims of a "scam-ring" or that these are the same as the pet scammers because "the wording is off".

I don't have the words to describe to you how painful it is that my close friends whom I chat with in our mother tongue (in which they are much more eloquent than the asks that are machine translated for YOUR benefit) and fear for their lives constantly and cry at the footage they share with me - only for someone to slander them because, I don't know, you didn't like the tone of their messages.

guys i know the donation post has been marked as mature but i posted an extremely urgent update regarding magala's group yesterday and today with no movement. one of her camp members was attacked and beaten so badly she hasn't spoken since yesterday and she is at extreme risk of death. they need $1000 for treatment as they have no funds after paying off other hospital bills. PLEASE share however you can, this is extremely serious

My partners friend went missing if you all could signal boost this!

Hello, everybody! We’ve been hard at work on Lavender Hollow behind the scenes, and we have some big news: the next update of the demo is almost complete! Aside from some polishing that may be added in future small updates (graphics, bug fixes, etc.), this is the final version of the demo.

Lavender Hollow Demo 1.0 will be released on April 26th!

The release will be later in the evening (MDT), because in the morning and afternoon, we will be offering an early sneak peek at All Pikes Peak Makes 2025! This event runs from 10AM-3PM at Library 21c in Colorado Springs, Colorado. If you’re in the area, come say hi and try the updated demo! We also have some very fun headstone-shaped business cards, which are the closest thing we’ve ever had to merch.

Finally, a reminder that if you want to see more behind-the-scenes updates, we share regular progress updates, screenshots, concept art, character bios, and more on our Comradery for just $5/month. It’s like Patreon, but cooler! (Plus, if you’re a creator yourself, they just started their open beta, so you can start your own projects!)

Thank you, and see you soon!
