Accessibility takes too goddamn fucking long.

My brother was paralyzed in October 2023. We got him home from the hospital (in Texas, when we live in Iowa) in a clunky old hospital chair. He hated it. He was scared and angry and in pain and his life had just changed forever and he couldn’t do anything for himself in that wheelchair. His first goal (aside from learning how to transfer) was to get a wheelchair. My family was lucky enough to afford one so we thought it would be easy enough. Nope.

We couldn’t buy him a wheelchair. He needed a prescription. For a wheelchair. A doctor had to examine him and declare him in need of a wheelchair. It wasn’t good enough that he had scans and tests showing tumors cutting off his spinal cord. He needed his primary care doctor to examine him during a physical and write a prescription. He was making 2-4 transfers a day, tops. He had no energy to get to a doctor. Home health was in and out every day. He had no time to get to a doctor. He didn’t get a prescription for almost a month. Then it had to go through insurance.

We asked if we could skip insurance and just buy a wheelchair for him. Nope. They wouldn’t sell us one, not even at full sticker price. It needed to be approved by Medicare. We ordered a wheelchair, a nice one, a good shade of green, sporty, small. It would let him move around the house. He would be able to cook, to reach drawers and get stuff from the fridge and brush his teeth and put his contacts in at a sink. We were told it would take awhile, maybe two months. Silently we all hoped he would be around to see two more months.

He went on hospice care on a Saturday in March. On Monday, I was calling his friends to come see him before he died. I got a call on his phone. It was the wheelchair company. They were about to order his wheelchair, she said, but there was an issue with insurance— had he stopped being covered by Medicare? Well, yes. When he started hospice care, he got kicked off Medicare. The very nice woman I talked to told me to call her if he resumed Medicare coverage so she could order his wheelchair. He died less than 12 hours later.

We ordered that chair for him in early December. Medicare didn’t approve the order until March. He was dead before they got around to it. He wanted that fucking wheelchair so badly. The only reason he had any semblance of independence and any quality of life for the last five months of his life was because the wheelchair company lent him an old beater chair, a very used model of the chair he ordered. If I could go back and change one thing about his end-of-life, I would get him his dream wheelchair. He told me again and again he couldn’t wait to get it, so that he could feel like a person again. He made the best of what he had with that old beater chair, but it still makes me mad to this day. He was paralyzed. He needed a chair that afforded him dignity. We had the money for it. And yet, we were left waiting for five months, for a chair that wouldn’t even get ordered until the day he died.

Ladybird is Bouba. Tuesday is Kiki

if you get cats you should get two. not for any behavioral reasons but to have one who is kiki shaped and one is bouba shaped. to keep your composition balanced

[sidras-tak]

Kim “there will be time for sitting on benches after we solve the murder” Kitsuragi sits on the swings with you for at least an hour without a single complaint, not rushing you, playing along with whatever silly conversation threads you start, waiting for you to realize on your own that the crashed motor carriage in front of you is your own. He gently leads you towards this profoundly upsetting information, the most damning evidence thus far of how completely fucked you are, just, like, as a human. Reckless, impulsive, suicidal. When you eventually piece it together, he comforts you with sincerity. This is the man who reminds you at every conversational tangent that you are on a deadline, who has to be cajoled into playing a board game with you for a couple hours. And yet he sits with you on the swings until the tide goes out, all so he can catch you when you start to fall apart.

[sidras-tak]

OH MY GOD YEAH. Truly incredible stuff ❤️

I cannot believe I left tumblr for five years and when I return you and kit are married. Absolutely wild stuff going on. Unbelievable to think I was part of the instigation of your marriage.

YEAH LOL

Can you believe we went "yeah yes our CHARACTERS are flirting with each other. Clearly not us. We are not flirting. Haha though what if we DID date."

I wrote a version of the "roses are red" poem to include in my vows specifically because Kit wrote one featuring Peace and Poe to ask me out all those years ago!!!

Truly a beautiful butterfly effect of dnd lesbians

more lore and tidbits from the re-animated series now that i've seen episodes 12-16:

seabrook was founded in 1837

zed calls eliza, liza, sometimes

there's a kid's show called my tiny horseys and zed's favorite character is sir isaac sparklepants

eliza, as a kid, accidentally flooded zombietown after fiddling with her parents' washing machine

there is a trivia competition called quizbrook

there is also apparently another quiz show where the contestants get vaporized if they take too long to answer

other than shrimptok, there is also shrimpstagram and shrimpterest (their instagram and pinterest if it was unclear)

addison had/has a stuffed platypus named snuggles

zed posted videos of himself as a kid, mainly dancing videos

wynter has a great-grandmother named wolfelia

silver doesn't just hurt the wolves, it can also damage and drain the moonstone (the draining part might've been just because it was a magical ax but i'm still throwing it out there)

addison owns a label maker (and labeled it...as well as almost everything else she can get her hands on, it seems)

zed had braces when he was younger

ashley's heart is made out of stone due to an accident with a potion

coach was in a death metal band called spawn when he was in high school and was replaced with his mom who is still with them in the present

both dae and zed are good at trickshots

there is a werewolf condition(???) called the moonies which are caused by the smoky moon (symptoms include: itchiness, hunger, sleepiness, acting like a dog, violent rage, partial wolf transformations, chasing your own tail (which they don't have), the urge to sniff disgusting things, a strong desire for head-pats, ticks, and fondness for fire hydrants and "bad to the bones" (whatever that means))

^non-werewolves can also have it if they use wolfsbane on themselves and touch a moonstone under the smoky moon but it's not permanent

there is a disease called spacefluenza that renders aliens bedridden and turns their skin purple (and little alien goo things are born from the some of the sneezes but they die almost instantly)

witch potions can expire (they still seem to work in a way so i don't really know what that entails)

zed and addison call each other babe

the aliens' electro-kinesis can apparently bring things to life

there is a hall-way of fame that cheerleaders can tryout to be a part of and bucky has the most pictures in it

part 1 part 3

Oh! I can contribute to the tv show recs with canon polyamory, @shaaknaa !!

Thai crime/revenge thriller (pretty campy, as most Thai stuff is) 3 Will Be Free, is a one-season series about Miw (a bar hostess), Neo (a male stripper/sex worker), and Shinn (the son of a mafia boss) who go on the run after accidentally committing murder together. It’s got excellent characters all around, everyone has killer chemistry with everyone else, and of course the aforementioned canon polyamory. And it’s free on YouTube.

i see leverage ot3 is popular on tumblr but i've watched the show and i've never seen one instance with elito expressing romantic interest in parker. not to hate it i'm just confued. it seems like he sees her like a sister?

Oh Anon, you picked the wrong person to ask. I will ship people from completely different fandoms, time periods, and types of media just because I think it's cute. I won't let something as silly as canon keep me from a good ship.

But I mean, dude looks at the both of them and says Nate gave him what he needed and he never has to search anymore and promises Sophie to love them keep them safe 'til his dying day. That them's marrying words in fandom land.

(Of course, everyone is allowed to ship and headcanon what they want. Your headcanon is just as valid as mine!)
