Dear Shoulder, Elbows, and Back,

It’s not a contest who can hurt most. Please let me sleep.

Thanks!

#disabledandcute witch with chronic pain because I need some representation

[ID: Illustration of a pastel witch. She has pale skin and short blond hair. She has a pink witch hat with pink flowers on it and a pink hoodie. Her shorts are green. Her arm and leg bones are showing,they’re filled with flowers representing chronic pain.]

Okay so I’ve decided on getting the ErgoActives Ergobaum 7g crutches and I emailed the company asking a question and when they replied they mentioned that they would like to offer me a discount if I decided to buy a pair. So I said that I was definitely going to be getting a pair but in their reply email they didn’t say anything about a discount and with shipping they come to $376.56CAD ($284.99USD) and I’m a broke college student that’s unable to work so like I kinda really need that discount. How do I email them back and ask for it without looking like an asshole??

“We set fire to the building but we managed to save a small part of it, aren’t we wonderful”

Health Secretary Matt Hancock missed out a few important points (and I’m only assuming Joy Morrissey did anything as I’ve found zero evidence). 

Important points such as that other centres for adults with health and learning difficulties couldn’t be saved - and that it was all due to £10s of millions of funding cuts imposed on the council by the government. 

are there any other disabled danish ppl here on tungle.com?

me after forgetting to eat with my painkillers: oops oh well

I am still working on my Empress Pixal Cosplay what she might’ve worn if she’d ruled beside him.

I’m still doing designing for Nyas s6 wedding dress

And then S3 Pixal is in the works along with Cyrus my best friend and I plan for me to go as Cyrus and her as Pixal to a convention especially since out of the both of us I know how to maneuver a wheelchair better, I have been relying on Mobility aids for 3 years now just scroll down a bit on my page and there’s a post with me with my brace and cane. Yes I’m disabled due to my knee.

You can find me on Instagram and Tik Tok at The_Bumbling_Cosplayer

Due to Pneumonia and strep throat with asthma then also a Severe Burn on the back of my Left knee (yes the impaired knee) because of getting too close to a space heater my skirt caught fire and welp severly burned me so back into a locked brace the knee had to go to let the burn heal my Arthritis hates me right now.

But because of these things I’ve been unable to post Cosplay or work on it I’m trying to rest but the whole war keeps me up because I am now ostracized from this Community for things I cannot defend myself other then apologizing from.

I more supported through cosplay anymore then writing and art anyways so with the War going on I’m ducking out of the Tumblr Fandom. Its been an amazing time since s3 when I first posted I’ll never forget it.

HEEEEY! I made a YouTube channel where I’ll be speaking about disability/chronic pain/chronic illness. If you’re curious about the life of a disabled person or you’re looking for someone to relate to, help a girl out and spread it and subscribe 🌸

TW: Eating Disorders

quick question for my fellow spoonies: do any of u struggle with gastroparesis and also have a history of eating disorders (specifically restriction)? i do, and i am currently trying to reconcile the new relationship i have towards food and my weight. i sometimes get triggered by my gastro symptoms and the disordered part of my brain gets excited at not being able to eat. and then having to work to ground myself and break out of those thought loops.

idk if that makes sense. it’s just on my brain as i have to weigh myself this week (for my doctor) and that’s always just ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

interested to see if/how this effects other people

Remember friends, when getting stuff for people, make sure to check for Sensory Hell items!

Some people don’t like certain fabrics, sensations, stim toys, sounds, foods, etc. so be sure you’re getting the right stuff for them!

Same goes for gifts for folks with chronic pain! Some types of clothes, foods, and sounds are awful when we have chronic pain!

And of course, always be sure of allergies!

@ the park for community day

Yesterday was Pokemon Go community day for November. (Ya girl got the shiny chimchar.) Because it’s been cold, there wasn’t a great turn out. There are certain groups of people that generally turn up for it that weren’t there but a few were.

One of the groups that did turn up includes a truly obnoxious guy that asks “How many shiny Pokemon have you caught so far?” every single time he passes you so that he can brag about how many he has. Normally I tolerate it and am polite, but yesterday the first time we passed, he asked & my response was “Dude the event literally started 5 minutes ago. Chill.”

“Well I already got two.”

“Ok, that’s great for you but it’s super rude to brag, especially since the event literally just started. Maybe don’t be such a dick.”

I was not fully caffeinated yet, what can I say? The event this month started at 11 am, and on my BEST days, I’m not a full on human until about 1130 am… and this was absolutely not my best day. But I will be damned if I miss the one event I look forward to every month.

Other than that, it was fairly uneventful. However…

We went back out later that night around 730 pm to play & walk the dog. Now, it currently gets dark around 515, 530 pm here, so the park was dark & nearly deserted, so it was nice. I always enjoy the park being empty because I don’t have to worry about people blocking the sidewalk & being rude, plus it quiet without the swarm of yelling children.

So I’m cruising around in my wheelchair while my dad is off with the dog. I hear a really loud motorcycle pull into the parking lot & then see this guy (with his girl on the back) drive up on the sidewalk, do donuts on the basketball court, and then start driving in my direction ON THE SIDEWALK.

He nearly hit me. Like, i felt the wind as he passed & could have touched the bike if I had the desire. I screamed & this idiot has the audacity to start yelling at me about how I need to watch where I’m going & have headlights on my chair.

Ok, let’s talk about the headlight thing. My chair doesn’t have headlights but there is a string of small, brightly lit, battery powered LED lights wrapped around the metal bits of my chair specifically so people who are walking can see me at night. But also…

YOU CANNOT LEGALLY DRIVE ANY SORT OF VEHICLE IN ANY PART OF THE PARK ASIDE FROM THE PARKING LOT. which I told him, while pointing to a sign posted by the city that says the exact same thing. I also mentioned that if he really wanted to dispute that fact, I’d happily call the police & they could decide who was in the wrong here.

He declined (shocker), called me a bitch, & left.

Some people are absolutely stupid. Like an unfixable amount of stupid.

Thus concludes yesterday’s adventure in wheelchair Pokemon hunting.
