I find it hard to believe that ColossalCon is coming up quickly again 😂

Here's a couple solo shots of my Jolyne from last year taken by Marlo Louden. Same arcade machine as my Mob photo, different Kalahari and cosplay lol

I did an amazing Rex Lapis shoot the the incredible @pixelboycos ! I always love working with him, it's always so much fun and always so creative! I highly recommend checking out his page, and the amazing stuff he is working on! . .

hey. so something happened.

I was and still am stoked as hell for Colossalcon, but uh.

The changes to the shuttle system this year are not it. I wish to bite someone. Instead of having the normal shuttle run between the overflow hotels like usual, with a handicapped accessible option shuttle going around as well (the normal shuttle is an old school bus with steep stairs and narrow seating), the local Sandusky public transit bus is just increasing its running times to catch people.

However, this means:

no being picked up at the overflow hotels themselves, you must get to a bus stop.

it is not going to be free anymore, it's $1.50 per ride.

it's handicapped accessible, yes, but if you can't make it safely to the bus stop or from the bus stop to the con center you can pay $5 per ride for direct transit pickup and drop off. because disability tax, y'know.

the distance from my hotel to the bus stop, and then from the drop off stop to the con itself, is .7 miles. .7 fucking miles. i sublux my goddamn shoulders on flat ground in the convention itself because of how screwed up my joints and stuff are. i can't thermoregulate for shit. i cannot safely walk that without severe symptoms kicking up, and i cannot push myself that distance safely either because of the heat. this convention takes place in june.

I was in contact with the disability office. I also asked other staff directly where to discuss this matter further via facebook, especially for future conventions, because this seems like a big thing that was overlooked. was told "We've received your email, we'll keep it in mind for future years." which... good but like. that doesn't solve any of the issues right now and doesn't really ring with resounding certainty that this'll be cared about.

i'm aware they're doing things in the con center itself for disability access, and i appreciate it. but if i can't fucking safely get to the convention like i'd have been able to do literally every single other year prior, what then? what about people who are more able bodied but who will get jacked up by the longer unplanned walk???

i'm lucky, i have friends who can just. pickup and drop off and brave the parking lot, pain in the cock though it be. but not everyone has that option. not everyone has the spare cash to throw around for accessibility options they didn't need to pay for before.

i'm honestly scared even posting about this outside of discord because i'm always afraid of rocking the boat but like. this doesn't feel right at all. this feels very very wrong and unwelcoming and i hate that there's nowhere i can really post about it but here on tumblr lest someone from staff just remove the damn post.
