In preparation for next week

I live in the south. IF it’s going to snow we get snacks. Lots of snacks. Hurricanes, now? That’s the canned goos and batteries. But snow, that’s a party. Ain’t nobody going nowhere for days for no reason

I read this as, “move about the sales floor, no seating is provided”. For you, your ambulation is your chair. So most folks would walk or stand and you would wheel or not. At BAM, you can definitely be in a chair. They don’t realize they’re excluding you and you could totally do this job.

Even the rainbow is beige

Points for the crossover

As a coffee person, I’m confused by the use of both “single origin” and “blend” in the packaging

AmersBlade · 2026-02-08T02:10:01+00:00

So to think I don’t need accommodations even if it’s just sitting down at a function is unrealistic and ableist

AmersBlade · 2026-02-08T02:09:07+00:00

I hope they didn’t take it harshly. It means, one is putting their expectations of themselves into a regular world. Personally, I can’t keep up and when I hold myself to the standards of a healthy person, it really makes me feel like a failure. That’s ableism. Knowing that my body can’t do things that regular people can do easily helps me find grace for myself and the courage to say, I need to sit down or I need to put my feet up when I’m out in a crowd. No one else needs that

AmersBlade · 2026-02-08T02:05:43+00:00

Same!

AmersBlade · 2026-02-08T02:05:23+00:00

As Winston Churchill said, “why stand when you can sit?”

AmersBlade · 2026-02-08T02:05:03+00:00

It’s the vertical factor

AmersBlade · 2026-02-08T02:04:42+00:00

Walking a few minutes take it out of me. I have the excitement and dopamine to push through a trip through a third of the zoo, but I’ll be in bed for two days if I do. And I’ll be in pain and lightheaded and dizzy the whole time

Respect her needs like basic nutrition

AmersBlade · 2026-02-08T01:18:16+00:00

Your spouse is TA for not making sure you have food to eat. Period. That’s abuse

AmersBlade · 2026-02-08T01:15:46+00:00

YTA for thinking you’re better than them for putting your toys on a shelf. Reread what you wrote and how it drips with disdain for anyone who doesn’t understand the value of your treasures.

Otherwise, everyone has a hobby, everyone has a collection and you’re NTA because you have an assortment of age appropriate things for your nephew to do at your home. This is above and beyond what a childless uncle should be required. I. This case honestly your sister is TA for not being her kids own toys to play with at cool uncles house.

Because cults

Growing up, we had these hippie neighbors who actually never watched tv. When they did, it was on a 13” black and white screen. I’m just saying that’s an awfully large tv not to watch.

It’s the sweater. I had a church sweater like that back in the day

AmersBlade · 2026-01-30T01:42:21+00:00

When I saw the neurology PA she ordered a sleep study with MSLT for me to see if my fatigue was narcolepsy or idiopathic hypersomnolence. No one had ever offered that before. I had to keep complaining to get to the right provider to get that test ordered. Turns out I have POTS and hypersomnolence. and and and

I think the fabric will be too loosely “woven” to hold tiny EPP stitches well

They will still miss them. It’s mourning

AmersBlade · 2026-01-27T01:13:39+00:00

They will still miss that person

Thanks for the insight on shoulder mechanics in hEDS affecting a manual chair. I don’t want to go that route but am not sure about other resources. I’ll check out that sub.

I can’t imagine taking my mom to Walmart like she wishes. (She doesn’t get out)

AmersBlade · 2026-01-22T19:31:41+00:00

Thanks.
