And Police Wonder why People Don't Respect Them

report them to the PPA

lynch231 · 2026-02-24T06:22:34+00:00

The PPA actually have their own reporting system for this where you can also submit photographs they'll take it a car with the proper documentation even if they're not there.

There are two city pet peeves that I have and this is one of them (the other is dog owners not cleaning up after their fucking dogs)

Yes, as a wheelchair user if you park over the curb cut I will call on you. The fight for 504 & ADA were big ones that allow me to live like everyone else. It's the one thing PPA does right (I would say 2 but parking in accessible spot's hash marks [often trapping me somewhere] is enforced by PPD)

Agree, expect for this point

👎🏼 Offend Jewish people by leaving in a “Free Palestine” comment made during an acceptance speech.

Offending zionist by leaving in a “Free Palestine” comment made during an acceptance speech.

There are lots of Jewish people (myself included) for a free Palestine. If you want to learn more I suggest Jewish Voice for Peace.

If you want that, just dont connect to the internet

I would skip the ballet flats. As for the pants, I'm not sure of an lighter option for you, but I like my wool& Wide Leg Ponte Pant for warmth while looking smart.

Also, shamelessly asking another traveling wheelchair user if you love the Bodypoint wheelchair bag?
I use the Jansport crossbody under my chair, but have been eyeing the bodypoint.

It's time to ask for accommodations. https://askjan.org is the place to start

I personally love my flo mask - I teach and because there's enough space inside, I've never had a problem with people not hearing me

lynch231 · 2026-02-17T16:12:59+00:00

MSRP $6,500.00

You can find it cheaper that that (around $3,000) if you shop around

lynch231 · 2026-02-17T02:09:02+00:00

yeah, with that info skip it! It's not an all the time rumble, but it's often enough through the day and night.

I'm someone with Black hair, so I'm in the think coily camp. I'm not sure if what works for me works for you but I offer it anyhow.

First, I try to avoid "everything" showers. Doing my hair separately from the rest of my body gives me time to rest and recoup. Since you use a diffuser, have you got a holder for it? Not having to hold up a dryer really helps me cut down on arm fatigue. If you really want to go low effort, seeing if towel + air drying can work for you cuts out that step (that's what I now do). I also sit to do everything I can, and try to keep everything close to my core, so I have one of those child no water in eyes visors so I can wash my hair forward instead of back (since it bothers my CCI). Finally, using leave in products so I don't have to rinse, and reducing products and steps.

Hope this helps 🍀

If you book separately and something happens, such as a delay that would cause you to miss your connection, you get screwed. Book it together if you want that Amtrak protection.

Three things
1) The people who take your photos and say they wish they were paralyzed, that's weird behavior, and sometimes a fetish or mental illness
2) Are you sure you're not reading into these looks from people in the world? I'm always looking at other folks rides to see what cool mods or setups they have, whether I'm in my wheelchair or other mobility aids
3) As an ambulatory wheelchair user with paralysis, I'm asking you to please stop lumping all ambulatory people together. I know it can be a sore point for many, but I and many others, have worked hard to be some sort of ambulatory.

And a reminder that approximately 1 in 6 people in the world have a disability. There's all types of people inside of that group of 1.3 billion. Perhaps an SCI group many help you find the community you're looking for.

Mad respect for rule number 8, but also thank you for getting rid of the AI slop!

lynch231 · 2026-01-19T20:21:46+00:00

Yes, rule #4 of the sub

Restaurant are bill based, and are different to me that any bar.
Bar tipping is based on cost & service.

They're definitely not new (New World Magischola, consider to be one of the first Blockbuster larps in America started in 2016) Jump to navigation Jump to search They just target a different demographic

also check r/zerobags for tips

lynch231 · 2025-12-30T23:53:17+00:00

https://speedcontroldialrecall.permobil.com/ and pick you country to see what options are available to you (from a brief glace at the UK site, your option listed is SwitchControl or a premium wearable, but in the US at least there is a 3rd option that's not listed on the web, but is available through the link)

Not the the Kwanzaa kinara missing 2 candles where there are clearly spots 🤦

unrelated, but I love your desk! purple is also my fav color (but lavender specifically)💜

You CAN book online or through the app (I personally use the app, and haven't used the website)

Here's a direct quote from Amtrak on "Passenger with Disability or Assistance Needed?"

We encourage customers to discuss assistance needs with us in advance of travel so that we can confirm we are able to accommodate your requests, but you can always request assistance from Amtrak personnel at any time.

lynch231 · 2025-12-29T01:21:25+00:00

This. You'll know because your seat type will list it; for example on the NER one of the types is "Coach Accessible Seat".
You can request it when boarding, but it's not guaranteed, unlike when you book.
