Why do we describe animal wheelchairs as freeing the animal to be able to run around and human wheelchairs as confining and limiting their users?

Mum & I had a bet that either my dad or Grandad would tell me to get some fresh air, as though having a subluxed hip & pneumonia & an IBD flare wasn't enough reason to stay inside.

I won in 15 minutes ๐Ÿ™ƒ

FYI fresh air doesn't cure chronic illnesses.

I passed my driving test with the reported toughest driving examiner in Northern Ireland on my 1st go with 3 minors.

I posted a video of my lessons on TikTok in response to one about deaf people not driving because itโ€™s โ€œnot safeโ€.

Now Iโ€™ve got this

Literally two other passengers on the bus and they've decided to take up all the disability space available under social distancing rules. Cheers, lads! 'Eejits

Isn't it lovely when The New York Times simultaneously patronizes crips--never asking for our opinions, let alone leadership--and suggests 'protective measures' that are atrociously ignorant to the point of recklessness?

It is when the assumption of severity leads to a binary solution. I only have my wheelchair to sit in because almost every 'supportive' chair is built on the assumption of being hoisted into the chair.

Should be on this train but because of a broken lift I've got to wait 15 minutes for the next one. Of course I won't get any delay compensation

gotta love that casual ableism, mostly because when people get confronted on this, they realize they were a fuck and back off.

Imagine if we did that for people with physical abnormality, learning disabilities, mobility issues, and PTSD

I would love to go and see with my partner on Friday evening.

However, she's deaf, and there isn't a SINGLE subtitled showing of Nope on Friday ANYWHERE IN THE UK.

ANYWHERE.

Out of 4,500+ screens.

This makes me so angry! Do people seriously think that we, as disabled people use our mobility aids for a laugh or to 'get free stuff'? Absolutely disgusting. I'm so sorry this happened to you and your family Chris.
