Heyhey everyone!
Im looking for a suitable bag for my wheelchair. For my studies, I need to take a very heavy laptop with me everyday. A laptopbag is a must for me.
Right now Im using my normal backpack, but I know how damaging that can. This is why Im looking for a wheelchair accesible laptop bag, but I cant find any online.
Anyone who has recommendations? (Preferably a store based in europe)
Thanks!!
Hello everyone,
I am looking to do research on the history of accessibility, the fights we had to fight to gain a more accessible world, how disabled people in the past were treated, etc etc.
Now I'm looking for good books, documentaries, researches, videos and just anything to broaden onto the information I already have.
If any of you have any suggestions, please lmk!
Ok so today I had the weirdest interaction about my disability since I have been using a wheelchair.
I was about to go get sunscreen from the drugstore. When I was pulling up to the store, this woman blocked the entire way there for me. I wasn't able to go around her, since the space wasn't big enough. I asked if she could move out of the way, but I'm pretty sure she didn't hear me at all. She turned around, and within a second she asked "so what do you have?".
I told her that I thought that was a pretty weird thing to ask. She responded with "oh so you don't want to talk about it?". I said "well, do you ask this to every stranger you meet?". She ended the conversation with "well I wish you make the best of it today, good luck!".
Like why do elderly people especially feel entitled to ask these things? Or the need to touch you, since that happened this week too.
I think I handled it pretty well, though Im thinking about funny ways to respond to questions like this. Things like "I have an allergy for people asking questions like this" and then coughing in their face, asking what their medical history, making up a fake wild story why Im in my chair, etc etc. If you guys have suggestions, im happy to take them!
