You are not gross, or bad, if you struggle with hygenine. Its okay! Last night I brushed my teeth, which was a big achievement for me! Whatever achievement you made, I'm proud of you. And if you didnt make an achievement, I'm still proud of you. I love you so much, and your ability to take care of yourself is irrelevant to that love. /p
Pictures of cats on my wheelchair. Feel free to reblog with pictures of cats on your wheelchairs. I’ll periodically update as I acquire more pictures of cats.
So I bought this on eBay, because I'm a little bit fed up with lack of seating when I really need to rest with my CFS/ME. I bought it in rainbow red, because I love rainbows being hella gay.
I have thought about various mobility aids, but a cain isn't really suitable, because my balance is fine and I don't have one bad side. I main get tired out and in pain very easily, so I'd lean on it way too much. I don't want anything too big or to feel "restricting" either.
I actually think I'd be able to enjoy the Pride parade more with it too, because I get in so much pain standing for that long. But I do it and pay the price, because I want to be able to experience certain things. So I think this will help, and not be too bulky.
So yeah, posting just in case it helps anyone else with a similar condition.
does being an lp affect your queer identity at all? like how people perceive you and how you want to be perceived, etc
Hello! It certainly does! It greatly affects how I exist within the community (shocker, not all queer people are free from ableism), how I've interacted with sexuality, how top surgery went, how dating has been... so much lol
Both identities have forced me to exist in public in a visually loud manner, to take up space in a way that makes people ask questions. Which can be both dangerous and draining or stirring and powerful.
The joy I've found in being inter-sectional, in being so far removed from the norm that I can freely express myself in any which way, has allowed me to be incredibly authentic and creative. There's this radical-ness that comes from it all that I love so much - it's taught me to love myself so deeply.
Reminder that fat disabled people exist and have a sexuality.
Reminder that fat disabled people can be queer. They can be bi, pan, lesbian, gay, ace. They can be trans. They can be loud and provocative, or gentle and soft. Fat disabled people can be desired and can also desire. They can be saucy, and flirtatious. They can feel at home in their own bodies, and they can make love to themselves. Fat disabled people can be seductive, and surprising. They can attract men, or women, or any gender beyond, combined, or in between. They can enjoy what they look like in the mirror, or in risque clothes.
Fat disabled people can love the feel of their body pressed to another's, or be turned on when their partner writes a smutty text to them. They can be bold or inhibited, they can be coy. Fat disabled people can feel sexy when they move from their mobility devices to the bed. They can feel hot in their sex swings, and on their wedges, or using their canes. They can feel sexy when their partners fingers sink into the flesh of their thighs, and bellies, and buttocks. Fat disabled people can be kinky. They can be dominant, submissive, or switch.
Fat disabled people have the full spectrum of sexuality, because fat disabled people are human beings with agency over their bodies.

disability aids accentuate our beauty— not take away from it.
you're just as beautiful with your glasses on or your hearing aid or your cane/crutches or your prosthetic or your wheelchair or with your service dog or your noise-cancelling headphones or your aac device. you're just as beautiful when you're using your aids as you are without them.
(and honestly? i think disabled people are more beautiful when using their aids. because when we use our aids, we're living our lives just a little bit fuller. we're seeing a little more, hearing a little more, staying outside or hanging out with friends a little longer than we could without. 💚)
needing aids doesn't inherently mean you absolutely can't do anything without them— it can mean they make your life a little easier and help you live your life to the fullest capacity you can. needing aids is NOTHING to feel guilty or ashamed of.
Hi, I'm Bea or Perce/Percy if you prefer, I use he/they! Bi and transmasc, currently a walking (or not) gender crisis.
Physically disabled, traumatised & neurodivergent, I have chronic pain that I do not currently have a diagnosis for (strongly suspected fibromyalgia though) as well as hypermobility that very much fucks with my joints - I use mobility aids to get around, usually a cane but forearm crutches if need be. I also dissociate a LOT and have frequent, violent panic attacks which affect my life regularly ;-;
Will be posting about my special interests & also my disabilities, the cpunk tag is currently my biggest source of comfort so that will be used a LOT over here. using one blog for both because i genuinely did not have the energy to create multiple.
furthering on from that my special interests are She-Ra 2018 and Critical Role, specifically Percy De Rolo (yes im naming myself after him, are you judging me??)
my hobbies include writing poetry, cosplaying, theatre (though this is hard because again, i am disabled!) playing dungeons & dragons, watching my special interests on repeat and writing dissertations on them, and ofc being online constantly lmao
15 y/o - do not be a creep to me !! i will block you xx
as much as i dislike dni lists - if you are part of edblr (especially pro4n4) or shblr, if you shit on my special interests, invalidate my disabilities, harry potter fans or defenders (/srs, yall make me UNCOMFY), if you’re a fucking zionist, if you’re a proshipper or anything like that, or if you’re bigoted in any way shape or form... yeah don't talk to me on this blog !! i am trying to make this a safe space where i can be autistic and disabled in peace. don’t be a dick.
please DO interact with me if you like my spinterests and want to talk about them!!! similarly if you are queer, trans, disabled or involved in any of the tags that i post on please talk to me, I'm always looking for new mutuals or ppl to talk to !!
lastly, please use tone tags <3

Not much changed.
It's looking more likely that we'll be moving this summer and I'm excited! Unfortunately we will have to be majorly digging into our savings and that's not ideal... Literally every penny counts at this point and I don't know how to encourage donations.
If there is something y'all want in exchange (line art, a shout-out in a fic, a reading with Riven where I stream me reading something, a video game stream?) Let me know! I'm seriously willing to work stuff out.
Thanks again y'all!

Whelp it's official. We are moving to California in August 2024!
This does mean that however we are now in a time crunch, every cent counts now more than ever!
Please please please share and donate anything you can!
