Accessible bathrooms are more than just “a big stall”
There are a lot of disabled people. And a lot of disabilities. Therefore, there are a lot of ways to make a bathroom accessible.
An actually accessible bathroom would have:
- A large amount of space that can accommodate mobility aids, medical equipment, a personal care assistant, and/or a service animal.
- Sturdy grab bars around the toilet.
- An emergency pulls string that calls EMS if a disabled person has fallen and injured themselves (this is common in the UK).
- An adult changing table.
- A trash can for medical-related waste, such as catheters, -ostomy bags, etc.
- A safe sharps-disposal bin.
- Floors that aren’t slippery.
And tbh, there’s probably more things that can be made accessible. But those are the bare minimum.
And a sink inside the stall so mobility aid users don’t have to soil our aids with unwashed hands!
GOD it makes me so fucking insane that all these websites are trying to be more like twitter when twitter has been such a fucking dumpster fire what the FUCK we’re in the fucking upside down crazy world why do people worship idiot billionaires aaaAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I love the idea of dead gods. Not in the sense of “hey i killed something supernaturally strong” but in the sense of “i killed it and it’s still a god.” It is still worshipped. prayers are still answered. miracles are performed in its name, even as it lies pierced by a thousand swords and burning with chemical fire. even as it drifts through vacuum, decapitated and bleeding molten rock. in cosmic spite of being shot through each eye and hurled into a plasma reactor, it still radiates the power of the divine in a way that primitive death cannot smother. the nature of godchild is not so simple as to be tied to the mortality, or immortality, of any living being.
In science that’s called a whalefall :)
Also @ursula-vernon’s Paladin books, but I feel like they appeal to the same crowd.
Y’all, I’m over here DYING cuz Google suggested me this article about the crisis of backyard chicken keepers– which is that they love having chickens so much that they keep getting more, and then don’t know what to do with all the eggs.
Which I can see how this would be a problem, but it’s just so funny to me because they had interviewed this one guy who started off with 3 chickens, and then kept adding more and more, and eventually started donating the eggs to a local food bank, and at the end of the year when they wrote him a tax receipt, he discovered he’d donated over 400 dozen eggs.
Seriously, it was a whole article talking very seriously about how people are so into chickens that they just keep collecting them like pokemon and then have to “scramble” (their words not mine) to get rid of the eggs, because they weren’t even thinking of egg production, they just loved having chickens.
And while I may be over here laughing a bit too hard, honestly? Big Mood.
