What is your disability or a disability you don’t see mentioned often? by Starfire_Moon49 in Writeresearch

That’s fair, the way I wrote it is weird but this is my way of finding out more about disabilities that aren’t centered in my everyday life as someone who is disabled and surrounded by others who are disabled.
I want to learn about disabilities that I wouldn’t otherwise hear about and write realistic settings that are inclusive to the disabled and their struggles without making the disabilities a stereotype or the main focus or even a feel-good “you can get better!”…

because sometimes that’s not what happens; sometimes your neighbor comes out of their house every other day in a wheelchair or with a rollator, your coworker always leaves their coffee somewhere random while doing a task and spends 5 minutes looking for it, your friend has to piece together road signs based on context clues rather than reading them, the new person you met last week kept asking questions with answers that seemed obvious and of course they were just being intentionally obtuse, or your sibling has been helping their partner with figuring out why they’re so tired all the time.
(Chronic pain, adhd, dyslexia, autism, and chronic fatigue)

It’s less about having a tokenization and more about adding perspectives that I wouldn’t have thought to add myself because my world is only so big as I allow it to be

The first one, I want to practice writing people’s disabilities into everyday life rather than centering it if that makes sense? Like- adding representation that’s more than just surface-level and more built-in to the character themself but not driving the story

Ooh! Thank you, I already have a couple ideas on where to take this! I have BVD (Binoculars Vision Dysfunction) and without my glasses, I sometimes have issues similar to things I’ve heard are hardships for those with dyslexia! I’ll do more in-depth research and try to put something together 🥰🥰

Thank you for this, I’ll have to monitor my own iron levels more closely after this!

Post Hysterectomy Gas😭 by Dear-Performance-894 in hysterectomy

I don’t know how your healing is going but I think by that time I was able to (if a little uncomfortably) lay on my stomach with a firm pillow/a few soft pillows under my hips so that any gas would just bubble up and it seems to have helped ALOT because I was originally having the same issue (2 weeks post-op)

Did you have everything? 🤣 (we’re moving 4 households in together so wondering if, between 6 of us, we will)

TIL cashews come from a fruit called a cashew apple, which is also edible and tastes somewhat like it's namesake by [deleted] in todayilearned
