Cane Users Don't Have To Use Their Cane For Every Single Step In Order To Be Valid In Their Need For

cane users don't have to use their cane for every single step in order to be valid in their need for a cane. cane users can suddenly stop using their cane while moving around and not invalidate their need for it next time they use it. some cane users may only use their canes during flare ups. some only need their cane every few steps for short bursts. everyone's needs are different.

every cane user deserves respect.

The people I hang out with say the most out of pocket shit ever and that's why I hang out with them

I use a cane. I bring it to school so that I can get places correctly. That's nice and all, but there is a big problem. The classrooms are arranged in a way that leaves no walkways for me.

This is a one minute drawing of me

This is a one minute drawing of me, with the cane, in the space that the desks permit me to move

As you can see, there is not enough space for me to get to my seat.

I don't hate my cane for this, this isn't a reason to "put the cane down and exercise", this is a reason to educate about disability and how to be accessible to mobility aid users

i am chronically online but not in a way that others recognise unless they are also an active tumblr user in the year 2023 🫡

Being sick and also having chronic pain is really silly sometimes. Like I have a head cold why does my foot hurt- wait that's the arthritis. Shit
