it's so fun :)
being disabled is just constantly going “i am in unspeakable pain :) i’m fine though :)” every day until you die :)
hey folks if you have an android phone: google shadow installed a "security app".
I had to go and delete it myself this morning.
Calling all Brits on this hellsite.
We all saw Elon Musk do the nazi salute at the Trump inauguration. We know that he is influencing and fanning the flames of right wing political parties.
And that very well may include ours.
Because Elon Musk has pledged to donate $100 million to the Reform party. He has since mentioned that it might be hard to give such a large sum now.
But I don’t think we should take our chances. And I think we can agree that letting billionaires influence our countries politics is a terrible idea.
If you also agree here’s a link to a Parliament petition.
It calls for the government to remove loopholes that allow wealthy foreign individuals to make donations into UK political parties (e.g. by funnelling through UK registered companies).
As it is a parliament petition the government are required to debate it in parliament. But for that to happen it needs to reach 100,000 signatures.
Non British folk I’m afraid you guys can’t sign but I encourage you guys to reblog so that more people can see this.

LAST DAY TO SIGN
Hi Prideknights!
You're based in Europe, right? Could you help out signal-boosting this European citizens initiative to ban conversion therapy in the EU?
https://eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#/screen/home
I don't think I have to explain the horrors of conversion therapy to you, so let me explain how this initiative works.
For it to get taken seriously by the EU, we need two things:
7 countries need to reach the minimum threshold of signatures for their country. We're currently at 6 out of 7! Slovenia only needs 300 more signatures to become country number 7!
We need a total of 1 million signatures. This might look daunting, but there days ago we were still at 200.000. Yesterday we were at 450.00. We are at 535.000 right now. So we have a long way to go, but we are moving fast!
The deadline is in a few days, on May 17.
Anybody with a European citizenship can add their name to the pile! If we reach the right amount, the official citizen initiative will be put before the EU Commission.
With lgbtq+ rights getting rolled back across the world, including Europe, there is no time to lose to demand stronger protections.
Searching for Cane Decorating (as in the mobility aid) gets you pages of results for Christmas craft videos. Even specifiying by adding the term "disability" or "mobility" still leaves you with a bunch of DIY home decor with cane webbing, for some reason.
So! Here's some videos to get you started on making your mobility aid reflect your personality:
First is this video featuring a lot of general discussion around mobility aids and being disabled, but does feature large sections for making your aids work for you in a fashionable way--including how to wear heels while using a cane!
Next, we have this short and sweet (under 5 mins.) aesthetically pleasing video on decorating a cane, that's not just using stickers or bedazzling. It's quite a unique end-product that I haven't seen with other mobility aid customizations.
EDIT NOTE: while the above creator is femme presenting, the result is pretty gender neutral and looks like a high fantasy elf's cane!
This is another video for decorating that isn't just stickers and bedazzling, but it's much longer than the previous vids with a lot of the YouTuber (Voice Actress Cari Favole) talking about their life and disability in the first 14 minutes before starting the customization.
Last off, is this video review about just buying a walking stick that is already fashionable and customized for you.
Do you know any other videos about making your mobility aid work with your fashion & personality that you love? Feel free to add them below!
