RE: https://lgbtqia.space/@aceofcosmicspace/117599183219538441 Let's talk a little bit about the grief that comes with becoming disabled, and the reminders that occur daily for many of us about how we used to be able to do things "better". This project would have taken me an hour at most, when I was healthier. Today, it took me almost four hours, interspersed with rests(5 of them, laying flat), talking myself through it, bargaining with myself, and willing myself to get it done, as well as almost crying at one point from the pain in my hands, and pushing through feelings of shame because it was impossible to get as perfect as I'd have been able to do before. This is the stuff you mostly don't see or hear about from your spouse, partner, family, friends and co-workers with disability-the massive physical *and* emotional struggle that goes on behind the scenes, to complete things that are simple for others, and were likely simple for us at one point too. #disabledlife #disabledtruth #grief #chronicpain #boostsappreciated @broadwaybabyto@zeroes.ca #spoonie #chronicillness #chronicallyill #SpoonieLife #SpoonieThings

Today's project-covering a cosmetics case to use for witchy stuff. I bought it ages back for a dollar, second hand. The inside was great, but the white faux leather outside was peeling. Tape, book contact and some effort, and I have a witchy box I can use as part of my new chapter of witchcraft as a trans girl(I figured using an old cosmetics case was an appropriate nod to that too🥹). Perfect? No. Am I exhausted from the effort of sitting up to do this today and do my hands hurt? Yes. Did it take me ages, because disability? Also yes. I will need a big nap, but it was worth it. I'm proud of my effort☺️(Not looking for advice, thanks💖). #witch #transgirl #girlera #transwitch #disabled #disabledlife #create #creativity #joy #chronicillness #chronicpain #chronicfatigue #spoonie #witchcraft

Your reminder that here in Australia, disabled people who cannot work and are on benefits are not able to legally marry or have a de-facto relationship without their partner/spouse's income being used to determine whether or not the disabled person is entitled to keep their benefits. So often, a disabled person's benefit is cut drastically, and sometimes completely, leaving them completely dependent on their spouse/live-in partner, and stripping them of what little independence they may have left. "Equal rights for all" isn't true until a disabled person who is unable to work retains autonomy, and is not stripped of benefits if they choose to enter a legal marriage or defacto relationship. #disability #disabledlife #equalrights #disabledrights

URGENT⭐ Fedi friends, I hate to have to do this, but I am stuck. As many of you know I'm a disabled trans man currently dealing with stent issues due to kidney stones and other issues. I currently require adult diapers as a result, and while I was stocked up until after my next operation, the kidney infection I have recently been diagnosed with on top has meant I have gone through my stock of diapers in a hurry😅 I can't do without them, but can't afford more. I have done calculations and will need four packs @ $28.68 to get me through until next surgery and through recovery(cheapest I can find that will actually do the job). I'm so sorry to ask but if anyone could help me meet my goal of $114.72 to get the diapers(free next day delivery), I'd be really grateful, as I'm under the poverty line and just don't have the ability. I'm already in a lot of physical pain with the stent, kidney issues and regular disability-I'd really like to avoid the humiliation of pissing myself without diapers if possible😅 Thank you in advance♥️ #help #disabled #trans #chronicillness #lgbtqia #povertyawareness #disabilitycrowdfund #boostforhelp #incontinence #disabledlife #grateful #gratitide #hope #communitycare #fedi #fedifriends #loveinaction @queer #bisexual #spiritual #pqgan #animallover #creative #DisabledCommunity #TransCommunity #helpplease #assistance #urgent #optimist #boost #boosts #fatigue #brainfog #exhausted #thankyou #appreciation @AnthonyJK @mutualaid@ovo.st @mutualaid@fedigroups.social @mutualaid@kolektiva.social @shareish #catlover #cats #dogs #whimsy #toot #lookforthejoys #thingstobethankfulfor

From being abused by staff and other travellers to being denied access to toilets, flying is an increasingly distressing and frustrating experience for many wheelchair users. Here, they share their stories https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jul/24/the-captain-told-me-to-wear-a-nappy-on-board-why-is-air-travel-so-humiliating-for-disabled-passengers #disability #disabled #DisabledRights #airtravel #disabledlife #accessibility
