Yall I hate to break it to you but sometimes disability isn’t the most eco-friendly sustainable practices 100% ethically sourced thing.

I have no idea where the metal in my leg is from. Or where all of the surgical instruments or medications i’ve taken are from.

I can guarantee the knee brace I rely on, my cane, my (future) wheelchair, etc aren’t made in the best ways either.

I use single-use things. KT tape for my joints, individually packaged things, etc. I would love to use something more sustainable but that’s not an option for me.

In an ideal world some of this stuff could be better (like sourcing materials in a more ethical way), but some stuff wouldn’t change (needing single use products). Stop holding disabled folks to impossibly high standards, especially ones that majority of ableds can’t even live up to.

my heart goes out to you if you're a disabled person who has a complicated or negative relationship with sleep. if you need to sleep a lot but can't due to life circumstances, or sleeping extra causing other symptoms to flare up. if you can't sleep enough due to pain, or nightmares, or psychosis, or bipolar, or depression. if you sleep way too much and find it hard to stay awake. if you can't fall or stay asleep. if you need medication in order to be able to sleep. if you don't feel rested from sleep. if you wake up a lot in the night. if you have bladder or bowel accidents while asleep. if you twitch or convulse or move too or get injured in your sleep. if you can't control your sleep schedule no matter what. if you can't sleep during "normal" sleeping hours. if you can't sleep for 8+ hours straight but can sleep for shorter amounts of time. if sleep is what you need but for one reason or another you just can't or refuse to do it.

i care about you. your disabilities deserve to be seen and acknowledged

were not endo but you cant refuse to let someone use your term and then get angry when they coin their own version because they can't use yours

actually we can be angry when ableist pieces of shit steal our terms and continue to shove their way into our spaces while making everyone who isn't like them uncomfortable and scared. Fuck you. Get off my fucking blog and get away from my terms, I don't care if you're not an endo, if you're gonna defend them then fuck off

We are Flappy Happy! We are a small Canadian business run by two autistic women.

When searching for fidget items, we’ve noticed that the vast majority are marketed towards children or the parents of children. We wanted to focus on adults that need fidgets. This partially comes from us wanting to say it’s okay to use fidgets (more than okay!), but also us wanting to include more discreet fidget items for those that may need or want them.

We carry a lot of your standard fidgets you’d expect like push pops, fidget spinners and similar.

But we also carry more discreet or adult focused fidgets. These might include things like calm strips (textured stickers), fidget earrings, fidget necklaces, and spinner rings.

Any signal boosting or help spreading the word is so beyond appreciated!

Our website is here.

Here are some photos of some of our products below!

These are some of our Calm Strips! These are textured stickers you can place on your phone, bag, etc. They can be very grounding and soothing to touch.

You can see our full calm strip collection here!

These are some of our chewables! These are safe to chew on fidget items!

when I first heard about endogenic systems, and saw it shortened to just endo, I was so confused

I was wondering why we were hating on those with endometriosis (something we have been diagnosed with)

sometimes, I still get it mixed up, but I've gotten better as I've been educated

I have endo, I am not endogenic

has any other system had this oops? /genq

[ This will be the only post we make on Endogenic systems. This is just an experience we want to talk about. THIS DOES NOT MAKE US ENDO SAFE. - K ]

I cannot believe there's absolutely no way to watch free shows and movies anymore, there are too many paid streaming platforms and pirating websites have viruses and ads preventing you from watching it uninterrupted((.)) id rather follow the rules and purchase media moving forward because it is too inconvenient. Seriously, free and no ads or viruses with 1080p streaming is DEAD.

i hate when i, a completely healthy person (very chronically ill), get sick (flare up) for no reason at all (i exerted myself way past my limit just cuz i didn’t wanna be “annoying”)
