  1. fedi folks that wear both masks and makeup!, i've got a question for you. i've always figured that the two are mutually exclusive, so i've often elected to wear a mask instead of makeup (things like eyeliner excluded). is there a routine any of y'all do for full-face foundation or anything else that survives wearing a mask for the majority of the day? advice appreciated! <3

  2. mkuh.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads "Appendix 1: MOTHERS WITH LEARNING DISABILITIES GUIDANCE TOOL
    V
    Value family – Involve individuals who best know the woman with learning disabilities as they can provide additional information that may be helpful to the decision-making process.
    A
    Avoid making assumptions – Do not assume that because someone has a diagnosis of a learning disability that they cannot be good enough parents
    L
    Look for support – Professionals should not work in isolation and should involve learning disability services for further support and guidance.
    U
    Understand emotions – Take into consideration that many mothers with learning disabilities have their own anxieties and worries about motherhood and fear of judgment. Do not assume they are being difficult.
    E
    Establish reasonable adjustments – Professionals should put reasonable adjustments into place to ensure women with learning disabilities can comprehend and understand information to give informed consent. I.E. easy read, pictorials, large font, visual and hearing aids.

    M
    Mental Capacity – Do not assume capacity. In liaison with the Mental Capacity Act 2005, professionals should consider completing a Mental Capacity Assessment (MCA) to establish whether the women can give informed consent. Professionals should also consider best interest, Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) and involving an Independent Mental Capacity Advocate (IMCA).
    E
    Efficient discharge – Professionals should consider possible support that can be put into place to ensure a person-centered discharge is consolidated. Consider, access to health and additional services, transport, financial support and accommodation.

  3. Omfg. Read section 3.4 "Learning Disabilities support" on page 5. Literally everyone will be helped by these suggestions, not just diagnosed disabled people.
    mkuh.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads
    "3.4 Learning Disabilities support
    Although 7% of people with learning disabilities become parents ( Best Beginnings) the Equality Act 2010 obligates responsibility to service providers to ensure that reasonable adjustments are put into place to ensure the holistic needs of people with learning disabilities are met to the highest standards.
    Remember to think VALUE ME! (Appendix 1)

    1. Early intervention strategies should be considered. Ensure that the community midwife is involved and if they are under 20 consider discussion with the specialist teenage pregnancy midwife for additional support.
    2. Professionals should ensure that adequate time is provided for consultations, appointments and formal discussions. Taking time to allow the woman to understand the information in
    order to make an informed decision.
    3. Professionals should ensure that reasonable adjustments are put into place to aid with understanding. Including: easy read, pictorials, large font, visual and hearing aids.
    4. Abilities led practice rather than inabilities led practice. Professionals should avoid making assumptions based on a diagnosis of a learning disability as often mothers will have their own anxieties, fears and worries regarding motherhood.
    5. Avoid assuming that mothers are being difficult. Consider other possible reasons such as the environment, loud noises, bright lights (especially if they have a dual diagnosis of learning disability and ASD), sensory needs, stress and anxiety. Provide a side room if possible."

  6. After like 2-3 weeks of basically rest and not having to go anywhere cuz of the kids' winter break, I am even more acutely aware of how much energy walking takes out of me and how much I could get done in a day if I didn't have to leave the house or walk extended stretches four times a day.

  8. Tried out ON1 Photo Raw this weekend to play around with photos. The app crashes constantly, it's lacking some functions I'd use, and I'm extremely annoyed there aren't more high quality post processing apps for android. Still, this ain't come out too bad

  11. I kinda want a new wheelchair, but I live in the US which means to get insurance to pay requires a doctor's note, & despite 10 years I've yet to find a neurologist or rheumatologist who wasn't saneist, antiBlack, fatphobic & sexist

  12. It's just frustrating. I've tried fundraisers before, they never worked. There's not nearly as many resources to help people get mobility aids etc as abled people think. It isn't a straightforward process to get on disability either and that's a pittance anyway.

    #disability #disabled #WheelchairUser #CripTax #DisabledFedi

  13. And getting insurance to pay for these things is usually more trouble than it's worth. For one thing, the specialists that would argue my case are not doctors I trust. They're fatphobic, saneist & racist & their negligence & arrogance is the primary reason I'm suffering so much as it is

  14. Meanwhile, my joints are getting worse, my pain is getting worse, and I don't go out and socialize, work or exercise, because it's too painful and exhausting. I still think about going to the museum with my kid & nephews & the difference next day between using my chair for 1 trip & not the other

    #disability #disabled #WheelchairUser #CripTax #DisabledFedi

  15. But I can't use my chair as much as I need, bcuz I'm not strong enough. I can't use it bcuz I have joint & nerve pain that's worsened by pushing, & nobody wants to help me build strength, stamina or make sure my technique is correct, they just want to take my chair from me bcuz I'm still ambulatory

  16. Right now I'm still mostly trapped in my house. Most of that is a structural issue: my home is not accessible, my block is not accessible, the only public transit route I can take to my kid's school is inaccessible and there's no alternative, but I could still go out more if I could use my chair!

  17. Started watching a wheelchair YouTuber & she's testing an accessory called the LapStacker. It's a strap to keep things from falling off your lap, retractable, etc. It's 120 damn dollars. The little electric motor I'm looking at? 4,250. I'm poor ffs ppl

  21. I cannot express to you how much my life sucks specifically and expressly becuz I am forced to walk instead of using my wheelchair becuz of inaccessibility. My quality of life is demonstrably worse bcuz I have to walk, but no one wants to help me build chair skills, they only want to take it from me
