What would be a good accessibility setup for an event to ensure a person with a feeding tube had comfortable access?

I love you for asking this 💜

  • Bathrooms: need hooks that are high enough off the ground to not allow the tube to dangle, while low enough for wheelchair users and shorter people to use. Additionally, shelving with hooks underneath is great for multiple tube sets, oxygen set ups, and mobility aids.
  • Outdoors: adequate cooling tents with ice options for people like me running continuous feeds, and unlimited access to free water
  • Indoors: disability seating with hooks for medical equipment, or traditional seating with fold down hooks in the seat backs. Private sanitary areas (like nursing rooms) for bag changes and medication administration/disposal.
  • General: medical bag checking up front or pre-check availability, pre-seating for disabled/chronically ill event goers, eliminating drink/food minimums

I’m sure this is not 100% extensive because I’ve only had my tube for 6 months today (🥳) so other people who have/had feeding tubes can feel free to add on.

Finished the green Ogrin, everyone’s favorite Neopet! I’m really pleased with how this one turned out too- painting the eyes was SO intimidating, haha

Real life really is just like Neopets. Every day I get up. Feed my pets. Get a free omelette at the giant omelette. Go to my job at the ice cream factory where I have to dodge giant scoops of ice cream at increasingly high speeds

once when i was ten, so seventeen years ago, i was on one of the neopets forums that was in 2006 frequented mostly by edgy teenagers with pete wentz urls who wanted to get around the ban on romance and gay talk to discuss mcr members making out. and it was well past midnight and i was secretly on an extremely clunky laptop the size of a modern desktop, sitting on my top bunk in the tiny room i shared with my sister. and i do not remember the forum topic at all but at some point one of the participants politely asked me, "hey, how old are you, anyway? twelve?" and when i honestly replied "ten," he responded:

"WOAH. Kid, you'd better get off the boards. Wandering the Neoboards at 2 AM is like walking nekkid through the Bronx with your wallet dangling from your nipplz."

and this frightened me so much i slammed the computer shut and went to bed immediately. seventeen years later i still remember this message word for word. including the filter-avoidance misspellings. i need everyone to know about this formative childhood memory. bronx wallet nipplz guy if you're out there hmu and tell me what ur deal was

migrating from app to app is such a sad social phenomenom to me just the fact alone that people put their energy into keeping up with so many changes and so many new services in the first place just to have the presence of complete strangers in their life is so crazy to me.. im not talking abt the ones who pump out these apps anymore the userbase is actually even more insane

in honor of barbie movie, i dug my Midge ™ out of my parents’ shed so i could show you all just how she worked if you’ve never witnessed it in action

as you can see, Midge has a magnetic pregnancy belly that contours to her unpregnant body

now inside the pregnancy belly of course is the barbie baby. it comes right out, no vagina to exit through. and if you look closely you can see that her underwear is also painted across the bottom of the belly. there is no mistaking this for a woman with any genitalia. just underwear.

here is the baby within the belly. i don’t think either of these is the correct way a baby should sit in a uterus but do i look like a fucking doctor to you?

the clearly very happy mother and child. and discarded magnetic belly. with underwear band.

unrelated but i also found my louis tomlinson doll

fuck it. pregnant louis tomlinson

He's pregnant and her permanent underwear is for tucking. t4t couple.

HEY HEY LISTEN THE VOICE OF THE MTA TRANSIT SYSTEM, ALL THE ANNOUNCEMENTS ON THE NYC SUBWAY LINE??

I love how being a performer has let her be at peace with having different performing voices and letting those voices not give her gender dsymophia!! It's just a job! The Voice is a thing you put on for a task!

WAIT OH MY GOD I FOUND THE MAYU/YUKARI IMAGE I WAS TALKING ABOUT IN THAT ASK. IT'S BEEN YEARS BUT I FOUND IT. i searched through skype logs and managed to find... A DIRECT IMAGE LINK BUT NOT THE ORIGNAL POST... and reverse image searching on multiple backwards searchers aren't finding anything. do any of you know who drew this?? do you have reverse image searching magic i don't?? or is the artist maybe just lost to time... IT'S STILL SO CUTE THOUGH

My methods also were unsuccessful, sadly... Let me know that direct link though, it can help, in some scenarios.

oh HELLO this is the direct link i was able to find in my skype logs!! i appreciate u looking even tho it didnt turn up anything ; _ ; !!

Yeah, no dice... But that's definitely in a ghost post somewhere, and there's always the hope someone will recognize it. Anyways, best of luck!

I won't mind any resentment for my acts of post necromancy, but the work that artists do lives after them:

sorry I'm making this one its own post. because like

this is literally it. the spotlight found Pete naturally. he took it to protect his friends from it. he took it so they didn't have to. but the spotlight burns and it's lonely at the top. and after years of it just being Pete out there, taking everything that got thrown at him and laughing it off, Patrick's ready to step into that spotlight too. shoulder some of the burden so Pete doesn't have to do it alone. I'm fine

HEY NOW. YOU DID NOT HAVE TO DO THAT.
