I really don’t understand why KPop “fans” are rabid about idols dating. Like, let them live and be people??

Should I record the ER docs telling me the “ER is only for acute injury or people who are actually dying, and not meant to help me manage my chronic pain and disability? That is what “specialists” are for”? I said “we’re all actively dying” but that wasn’t the response he was looking for. 🤣

Curb cuts helps more than just wheelchair users, but also help moms with strollers, people with walkers, people trying to move furniture, etc. Texting was developed for the deaf, but we all benefit from it now. Aim for universal design and plan to be flexible might be the best description.

Yes I know. Some seek sensory input and others avoid it. The ridges help those with visual impairments know when they’re about to walk off a curb into traffic, but bumps a jarring and painful to me as a wheelchair user who had a spine injury. It’s still the goal we should work towards.

Universal design always benefits everyone!

How about we design things universally so they’re equally accessible to all without people having to need to request accommodations? (I know that this would be utopia, but a girl can dream right?)
