He has control of his muscles above the shoulders, so he can shrug a bit, and due to his c4 incomplete, he has the ability to use his left hand to control himself a bit, even with spasticity! He also has a caretaker that helps him! ♿️

Hey y'all what do you think of my Affluent Maj'Dul Residence that I have turned into "The Mad Scientist's Mansion" ? it isn't quite done yet, but I would love your opinion! For the Market seen from the balcony, I created a break out, and put objects and house actors in the market, saying different things, and I have a magic mouth that says "you hear the Maj'Dul Marketplace, check your chat windows to hear what they say!"
Haha I am on the Halls Of Fate Server :D
**Edit** for those that are unfamiliar with EverQuest2
Cabinets and fridges and dishwashers don't exist in EQ2. I used numerous building blocks to create these items 🥰 and same with the balcony, I put up the windows, the balcony is open normally.
**second edit** I added the TV I built out of 3 black stair pieces, a half block of riveted plate, 4 blocks of hammered copper, 4 tinkerer's mugs, a carbonite power node, a railing of blue marble, and an ancient rivervale scroll! hehehe
Perfect Travel Companion: Drive Medical TraveLite Aluminium Transport Chair
🚗✈️ On-the-go? Meet the Drive Medical TraveLite Aluminium Transport Chair! 🌟
This lightweight and sturdy chair is perfect for travellers. Weighing only 9.3 kg, it folds down to a third of its size and fits easily into cars, trains, and planes. With smooth-rolling wheels, flip-up padded desk arms, and height-adjustable footrests, comfort and convenience are guaranteed.
I’ve had my new wheelchair for about three months and it has made such a difference to my life. I went from a U3 to a U3 Light L and I didn’t think that going to a lighter model would make my independence skyrocket. We’re just talking about a few KG change of weight. I had never understood why wheelchair users are chasing grams until I got my new wheelchair. Both the shorter backrest and the smaller castor wheels made the wheelchair fit like Cinderella’s slipper. And because it fits like a glove, it has not only improved my independence but also helped me have more energy and be able to use my strength to its fullest capabilities. Though one small downside with having a lighter wheelchair is that when I go on walks with my dog, Stella, it’s much easier for her to tug me into a run (which she loves) but feels like I’m doing Mario Kart IRL on the highest setting😂.

I hate the fact that my chronic pain has to be “it is what it is” that isn’t fucking fair. I shouldn’t be confined to my bed because my migraine is so bad I can’t even lift my head. I’m only 19, I simply just want to be able to be in my wheelchair for a few hours without feeling like I’m gonna collapse after 4 hours. I just wanna be able to actually hang out with my friend when they come over for the weekend rather than me immediately passing out. (This friend is always here for me god I love them thank you bestie). I want to be able to actually go out with my boyfriend in my manual wheelchair without feeling like I’m gonna pass out. I want to be able to play video games for more than 45 minutes before my hands start to ache. I want to be able to draw for hours on end without my body starting to ache from sitting up for more than an hour. Life isn’t fucking fair and life can take back their fucking lemons. When life dealt me the cards there was just a handful of garbage cards.
Disabled people are never obligated to quell others curiousity
"Just over 6.8 million community-resident Americans use assistive devices to help them with mobility. This group comprises 1.7 million wheelchair or scooter riders and 6.1 million users of other mobility devices, such as canes, crutches, and walkers." (Disability Statistics Center).
While the disability community is diverse, ”the disabled guy" stereotype generally involves being in a wheelchair. It's visual storytelling shorthand. There are more specific disability stereotypes, such as being blind giving you a 6th sense, and autism accompanied by savant syndrome.
The wheelchair-bound stereotype is the most prevalent in my life because my form of cerebral palsy has always included mobility aids. I had the most exposure to the disability community at camp every summer.
Even through those experiences of making friends and seeing what they could do, I still saw it as a failure when I first sat in a wheelchair.
Just because you know a disabled person, an Asian person, etc. it doesn't mean you can't be ableist or racist. Accepting an individual is different than being aware of how stereotypes might affect your behavior. People don't like to acknowledge our failures.
As a child, I was at least as "curious" about other disabilities as my able-bodied peers. Everyone learns from the media. I have the same questions about specific disabilities, such as visual impairments or hard-of-hearing people, that others without disabilities have.
However, that doesn't make it right for me to ask invasive questions of other disabled people.
Internalizing ableism is complex. In the media, a hierarchy of identities is reinforced, and I am set up to internalize where society "fits me in”, among the disabled. "Disability hierarchy is not about disability type alone, but rather a complex, intersectional differential valuation of disabled people regarding who can and cannot or should and should not be accommodated and integrated into a society based on various factors." (Schalk, 408)
I can only speak from my experience. What I know about disability stereotypes and what questions annoy me the most do not necessarily transfer to other people.
