The most correct kind of spite<p>My nystagmus is so bad today I'm having to lie around with a wet washcloth covering the top half of my face.</p><p>The coolness might be helping or maybe it's just having nothing to see is helping. It is So Goddam Boring not being able to look at anything!!!</p><p>So much of managing a chronic condition is dealing with how boring it can be though. Especially if you have to rest when you don't want to/when other conditions need other things.</p><p><a href="https://mspsocial.net/tags/DisabilityLifestyle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DisabilityLifestyle</span></a></p>
The most correct kind of spite<p>I feel like I've happened across a <a href="https://mspsocial.net/tags/DisabilityLifestyle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DisabilityLifestyle</span></a> metaphor in real life.</p>
The most correct kind of spite<p>I almost have to admire the honestly of a bus driver who, when I ask him "Does this bus have announcements?", says "you know, I'm not sure!"</p><p>And then when I say "Can you let me know when we get to the station?" says "Yeah, if I remember..."</p><p>Bus drivers never do this when I ask them (if anyone tells me, it's another passenger overheard and this was before I got on the bus so none of them would have). But they don't usually admit their failings in this area ahead of time!</p><p><a href="https://mspsocial.net/tags/DisabilityLifestyle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DisabilityLifestyle</span></a></p>
The most correct kind of spite<p>Got some food from the co-op, had to use the self-service checkout because there weren't any staff around on a sleepy Sunday morning.</p><p>I hate self check-out but it went basically okay.</p><p>Until it said "please press for a receipt" and gave me a countdown that started at two, so I missed that! So much for getting my expenses back!</p><p>I assume there are more than two seconds to request a receipt but with just this big touchscreen it took me a bit to figure out WHERE to press!</p><p><a href="https://mspsocial.net/tags/DisabilityLifestyle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DisabilityLifestyle</span></a></p>
4 🦝 Pretending to be a 🌳<p>Just published the very rough alpha of Corporeal Conisderations!</p><p>it's a disability-centered solo TTRPG and character generator to make *realistic* characters!</p><p><a href="https://aldercone.itch.io/corporeal-considerations" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">aldercone.itch.io/corporeal-co</span><span class="invisible">nsiderations</span></a></p><p>turns out, there's a lot to consider when you are corporeal! (in fact i need to consider all the inflammatory pain bullshit because I have severe <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/MEcfs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MEcfs</span></a> and I spent not enough time resting while making this, oops)</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/DisabilityLifestyle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DisabilityLifestyle</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/cripplepunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cripplepunk</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/chronicIllness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chronicIllness</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TTRPG</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/soloRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>soloRPG</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/itchio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>itchio</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/indieDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>indieDev</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disability</span></a></p>
The most correct kind of spite<p>The McDonald's by Salford Crescent has an ableist policy, or at least an ableist staff member, gatekeeping the disabled toilets!</p><p>A colleague waited patiently outside the locked toilet door and when a staff member saw her they said "The toilets are upstairs." My colleague said she needed the disabled one, she was waiting because someone was inside. The staff said "No I've locked it" and got hostile. So inappropriate!</p><p>My colleague was actually told "You don't look disabled." <a href="https://mspsocial.net/tags/DisabilityLifestyle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DisabilityLifestyle</span></a></p>
4 🦝 Pretending to be a 🌳<p>my dog also likes watching this show. very funny and cute.</p><p>speaking of assistance animals (very *very* rough draft btw)</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/disabilityLifestyle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disabilityLifestyle</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TTRPG</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/1pRPGjam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>1pRPGjam</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/servicedog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>servicedog</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/assistanceDog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>assistanceDog</span></a></p>
The most correct kind of spite<p>The cleaners cleaned my house while I was away.</p><p>They don't mean to move things but they do, ever so slightly.</p><p>Which, as a blind person, has made going back to work this morning even more disorienting than it normally would be after a break!</p><p>I could NOT find my mouse at my desk this morning, and I nearly kicked over a lamp.</p><p><a href="https://mspsocial.net/tags/DisabilityLifestyle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DisabilityLifestyle</span></a></p>
The most correct kind of spite<p>I woke up to a text message - sent at 8:16 on the morning of a bank holiday Monday! - saying "Your PIP review has started."</p><p>Because, yknow, my optic nerve might have grown back in the 13 months since my last PIP decision! My condition has been lifelong and untreatable for the entire existence of humanity but it's been a year so let's check again in my particular case, yeah why not.</p><p><a href="https://mspsocial.net/tags/DisabilityLifestyle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DisabilityLifestyle</span></a></p>
The most correct kind of spite<p>It's a little tricky because I'm not taking the most direct route that my travel apps would suggest. I have to figure out where to lie to the app that I want to go so that it'll give me the route that's accessible to me. The tactics that go into <a href="https://mspsocial.net/tags/DisabilityLifestyle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DisabilityLifestyle</span></a> 😆</p>
The most correct kind of spite<p>Lord give me and all my friends the confidence of the two people who pushed on the bus ahead of me and my cane when it arrived, and then took the priority seats at the front of the bus so to get enough room to breathe/stretch our legs I had to walk way to the back.</p><p>One of those two people was holding like a pizza box and he put the box on the seat next to him. So that pizza has priority over my disabled ass. 😆</p><p><a href="https://mspsocial.net/tags/DisabilityLifestyle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DisabilityLifestyle</span></a></p>
The most correct kind of spite<p>D just asked "Any plans for the evening?"</p><p>And hag said "Try not to go to sleep before bedtime?"</p><p>The deadpan delivery made me laugh so much. " 'Same as we do every day,' huh?" I said.</p><p>That's <a href="https://mspsocial.net/tags/DisabilityLifestyle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DisabilityLifestyle</span></a> for ya 😆</p>
The most correct kind of spite<p>Thank you for coming to my show, I call this piece "Why are There Never Hooks in Disabled Bathrooms"</p><p><a href="https://mspsocial.net/tags/DisabilityLifestyle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DisabilityLifestyle</span></a></p>
The most correct kind of spite<p>Nothing like sitting down at a bus stop, folding the walking cane, putting it in my backpack, taking out my long cane and unfolding that to make me feel like I'm for sure gonna end up on video as "fake disabled person." 😆</p><p>It makes sense to me! I've used the walking cane while going around the city centre and around a museum. Now that I'm waiting for a bus home, I'm mostly done with walking and it becomes more important for the driver and other passengers to know I can't see <a href="https://mspsocial.net/tags/DisabilityLifestyle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DisabilityLifestyle</span></a></p>
The most correct kind of spite<p>The gallery's accessible loo has a very fancy door lock. (Which is NOT accessible because I had to read a sign about how to use it!)</p><p>But it still doesn't have any hooks or shelf or anywhere to put stuff! Your bag or cane is going to end up on a toilet floor.</p><p>Peeing with my backpack on is <a href="https://mspsocial.net/tags/disabilityLifestyle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disabilityLifestyle</span></a> </p><p>Why are they all like this! Cis abled toilet cubicles have hooks on the doors! What about disabled people makes you think that we don't have MORE shit to cart around than the cisabled? 😆</p>
The most correct kind of spite<p>Just had my eyes tested so now my nystagmus is going to be off the charts for the rest of the day.</p><p>I only marginally needed new glasses, basically it was suggested I get them because mine are so beat-up lol. I can only see one more line of letters on the eye chart, but the optician said for me one more line is a big deal.</p><p>So I've had to spend three hundred quid on one line! It only had three letters on it and I could only read two of them! 😆 That's <a href="https://mspsocial.net/tags/DisabilityLifestyle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DisabilityLifestyle</span></a> right there.</p>
4 🦝 Pretending to be a 🌳<p>tell me the most <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/cripplepunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cripplepunk</span></a> song you know</p><p>i hope its not from white ppl but i'll take whatever i can get</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disability</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/disabilityLifestyle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disabilityLifestyle</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>music</span></a></p>
The most correct kind of spite<p>What's more likely, train staff member: that I am fibbing about underground staff messing me around so I'm late enough to miss my train, to save myself a £5 difference in fare, or that disabled people do in fact get messed around by staff who think they know better than us. 🤣</p><p><a href="https://mspsocial.net/tags/DisabilityLifestyle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DisabilityLifestyle</span></a></p>
