Bhad, Blk &Disabled👩🏿‍🦯

So far we have:

An IKEA dresser is cheaper than getting a new kitchen countertop at the right height by @moonbeam-llama (with kitchen-safe furniture finishing tips)

Links to some posts on decorating cakes when you have hand tremors, provided by @skeevatons

Compression gloves are great by @chartreuse-abstruseness

Using a timer and taking breaks is a possible stand-in for a stand mixer by @crickwater

Using plastic blades with a food processor to mix dough is another good option by @theshampyon

Both of the last ones are pretty big, because the absolute number one complaint/request I see in the tags of this post is that stand mixers are expensive and/or otherwise hard to get, and that's the only suggestion the article itself offers for mixing work-arounds. (There might be more in the comments on the article itself, but I haven't dug through them yet; something about a post going from five hundred notes to over forty thousand in under ten days or something like that 😉)

Like yes Barbra go off on me, a young person for using a mobility aid, please ignore how it’s literally a metal pipe and you’re in bonking range

-Rayne

how can't you see this

it's giving me my life back.

Even when it's short term mobility aids like crutches for a broken bone, it's still giving freedom... it's allowing the bone to heal and for you to live as usual...

let alone people with chronic pain, paralysis, and long term injuries!

without them, I wouldn't be here!

how can't you see that is a good thing!?!? 😭😭

It'd make everyone so much more sympathetic to disability and to those who have to use chairs on the daily.

Sincerely,

I've been in a chair in public for 20 minutes and I've already had several inappropriate comments and many uncomfortable and sympathetic stares, people grabbing my handlebars...and a "fucking cripples" from a 13 (ish) year old when the bus driver asked him to move from the disabled seating..

I got compression socks yesterday. This morning I cried because I remembered i had them to wear
