Last time I went through airport security the TSA took my cane from me and made me stand clutching the arm of a stranger while they xrayed me (or whatever that scan is). It was humiliating, and I’m lucky my knee didn’t give out during that ordeal.

On my first leg of the trip they gave me a wooden cane that was entirely too tall, but that was definitely better than not having one at all

Thank you for the recipe!

Dang, that sounds really good

I knew you’d know if it’s suitable, haha.

The one thing I hate about the one I have is that it’s made of plastic. You’ll have to share pics when you have made yours!

It made my life so much easier! I needed a carpal and cubital release in both arms and couldn’t even slice veg by the point I was entering hand therapy.

We’ll see if I still need it after the surgeries heal, if I don’t then I plan on donating it to an accessible device service in my state so it can help more people

I think mine has stainless in it, because it’s cheap. If you have brass on hand, why not? I think it’ll be strong enough, I’d just wonder about corrosion at the point where it meets the board

I have a cutting board with pins that suctions to the counter, been very helpful while my arms heal from surgeries

I have no idea what this is called, since I’m still new to Apple, but iPad has a handwriting correction feature in its Notes app. I recently had surgery on my dominant arm, so that feature really came in handy for taking notes at uni. I write in cursive with some mixed symbols and it’s able to handle that.

Maybe when going for a mini laptop you can try finding a tablet that also allows for a Bluetooth keyboard, this way you get practice writing by hand but can swap to keyboard after some time.

Alternatively, you could try the Pomodoro method while writing. I find it helps when my adhd is too stronk

I’m guessing that’s a typo given he died in 2019?

Wow, Kid Rock is only 55

My dog smells my car bumper on days I’ve been out, so I assume she thinks I’m taking the car for a walk

I’m still waiting for the decades that are better, and I’m long past teen years. Spent all day wishing those suicide booths in Futurama were real and as easily accessible

Kinda weird to call Hunter a VIP. I don’t think I’d even call him moderately important

That doesn’t make sense for type 2. This is exactly how they’ve been trialing treatment of type 1, they just announced it a few months ago I think it was Stanford and Toronto

This is the princess linked to Epstein.

He never really had a chance

From personal experience knowing someone who posted that stuff just to get a reaction out of people: he was beat by his dad (who then divorced his mom because she produced “that”) and was severely bullied in high school. It’s not an excuse, he just desperately wanted the world to feel as miserable as he did.

He showed me a video of someone being shot in the head once. Mind you, I’m the kind of person that breaks down when I accidentally run over an animal or hear a bird splat on a high-rise window. He thought it was okay to show me without my consent because the guy lived, but didn’t understand that violence, pain, and disfigurement are just as traumatizing as death.

He diagnosed himself with Anti-social PD while taking a psychology class, take that however you wish

This is going to sound crazy, but I’ve recently learned that sensory overload triggers my migraines. I have that xppen and don’t use it because it isn’t as smooth as my iPad. It causes more sensory input to my brain, if that makes sense.

Your Bluetooth headphones might be heavier than others or exerting some pressure on you that is triggering your headaches. My ANC headphones do that to me because they need a tight seal around my ears to properly block out sound.

I lived in Seattle and greater area for nearly a decade and had very few complaints about the transit system. I think the worst was it got pretty hot on the busses during the summer when everyone was leaving work lol

I left right as they started working on the light rail, why is traffic still so bad?

Tundra Swans are much smaller than Trumpeters. But the giveaway to me is the little white spot near the Tundra’s eye.
