Unfortunately I don't know any pain scales without numbers because they need some quantitative way to measure pain.

The one I like the best (and I still have complaints. I disagree with 7-8 specifically) is the Mankoski Pain Scale. It makes the most sense to me.

• you’re still valid if you don’t use your mobility aid all the time •

There is a new Chrome extension that detects if a video you’re streaming has a strobe in it, will freeze the video and stick this warning up there until you approve it.

i believe in all the people who are still surviving their own pain…

the kids who have been abused, the teenagers who have had their hearts broken, the people who have been bullied for things they can’t change, the people who feel left out because they’re different, the parents who have lost a child, the lovers who have been hurt, the people who have been assaulted, the people trying to start over, the parents who feel they can’t protect their children, the kids who grew up without a family, the people who can’t come out to the world, the people who go through chronic pain or trauma and don’t give themselves much credit for still going, the teenagers who are told they are worthless, the people who are quietly discrimated against daily and accept it as normal, the people who have tried to take their own lives, the people who cry themselves to sleep, the people who have hated their own bodies, the people who’ve lost everything.

Having to use a wheelchair 90% of the time to move is infuriating. Relearning to navigate the world and seeing it from a literal new perspective is really, really shocking. And despite the fact that my legs do not work and my neuromuscular disease has rapidly progressed to the point I thought I wouldn’t be in for at least five years, I may not qualify for disability benefits.

And if I do, I can’t get married. Or have more than $2k in my bank and my medications cost more than that. Or have. A source of income besides less than the poverty wage allotted to me. Because the United States Social Security System is fucked.

But y’all can genuinely help. I’m not asking for money. No one is. We are asking you to interact with a text bot that sends a letter to your senator for you. It takes two minutes. Read this post. Send a text. Help disabled people achieve independence and support.
