HOLY SHIT MY FUCKING LEGS HELP ME

HOLY SHIT MY FUCKING LEGS HELP ME

Does anyone else get painful pockets of blood on their bodies? For me they’re in my inner thighs and hurt like shit.

i think some of the least helpful medical advice is when you ask how you would know if what you're experiencing is [thing] and they say "you'd know it if you felt it." i guarantee i would not that's why i'm asking

You may wonder, why do some disabled people not shower often? Well, you see, showers are actually quite intense trials designed to kill us. The steam? Makes the blood in our bodies go wild, fucks up our balance and tries to make us pass out. You have to be standing or sitting. Standing is hell and sitting is a peculiar purgatory. Reaching for bottles and soap and shit requires moving The Body, which is in constant pain that will only get worse the more we move and so will the fog that envelopes our brains and impairs our thinking.

Don't even get me started on drying off. "Why don't some of you shower often" I don't know, why don't you run marathons regularly? Because it sucks and you can't, that's why.

I love that they are able to accommodate the penguins so well with their ramps and stuff. Accessibility icons. Also I just thought this video was cute

Anyway with that said we need more accessible spaces for humans too. It is so important that the world does its best to make spaces accessible to everyone. Everyone deserves to access the world and the ignorance, stubbornness, etc. of others has no right to get in the way of letting people live their lives.

Video transcript and description below break:

Showing a group of miscellaneous penguins walking on concrete at a zoo with a focus on a large brown king penguin fledgeling: “why does this baby penguin appear larger than many adult penguins? That’s right. This fluffy brown penguin is a baby kind penguin”

Angle or video has shifted but still focused on a group of waddling penguins with a focus on the baby brown penguin: “the first reason is that there are many species of penguins here. So naturally there will be differences in size. “

New shot of penguins in their exhibit. Ground is covered in snow and ice and appears to be rocky. There are several penguins in the shot still with a focus on the brown baby penguin: “the second reason is that it’s not actually fat. In fact it’s body is quite slim”

New shot of a very wet brown ba y penguin walking on a rocky shore. It’s feathers are clumped in awkward ways and it is waddling forward: “when the baby king penguin’s body gets wet it’s true size is revealed”

New shot of 5 penguins waddling through a group of people filming them: “but regardless of the penguin’s body size they all have one thing In common. Their legs are very short making their walks adorable. “

New shot of several king penguins walking through a park: “however their short legs also mean they can’t take big strides, which affects their ability to deal with steps.

New shot of a penguin on ice slipping and falling onto its stomach and sliding down a slope: “penguins easily trip”

New shot of a penguin o. Ice slipping and falling onto its back and sliding down a slope: “even on small steps”

New shot of penguins walking down a narrow ramp next to some stairs indoors: “that’s why some zoos install additional slopes next to stairs to help penguins walk down easily.

New shot of a penguin walking down a clear ramp above a pool of water. The penguin then pauses at the end and then goes to more forward and slips and falls into the water.: “sometimes these slope designs are also applied above water pools to serve as diving for penguins. However, due to their slippery surface penguins often slip on them”
