We just published a Zine! Let Your Disabilities Hold You Back https://aldercone.itch.io/let-your-disabilities-hold-you-back

I was planning on making a Version 2 before publishing this version, but ironically my disabilities are holding me back I can't look at screens (   is typing).

As we're struggling even more than usual, I hope you'll check it out & maybe buy a copy, check our other projs or support our Comradery (https://comradery.co/aldercone) !

My nystagmus is so bad today I'm having to lie around with a wet washcloth covering the top half of my face.

The coolness might be helping or maybe it's just having nothing to see is helping. It is So Goddam Boring not being able to look at anything!!!

So much of managing a chronic condition is dealing with how boring it can be though. Especially if you have to rest when you don't want to/when other conditions need other things.

I almost have to admire the honestly of a bus driver who, when I ask him "Does this bus have announcements?", says "you know, I'm not sure!"

And then when I say "Can you let me know when we get to the station?" says "Yeah, if I remember..."

Bus drivers never do this when I ask them (if anyone tells me, it's another passenger overheard and this was before I got on the bus so none of them would have). But they don't usually admit their failings in this area ahead of time!

Got some food from the co-op, had to use the self-service checkout because there weren't any staff around on a sleepy Sunday morning.

I hate self check-out but it went basically okay.

Until it said "please press for a receipt" and gave me a countdown that started at two, so I missed that! So much for getting my expenses back!

I assume there are more than two seconds to request a receipt but with just this big touchscreen it took me a bit to figure out WHERE to press!

Just published the very rough alpha of Corporeal Conisderations!

it's a disability-centered solo TTRPG and character generator to make *realistic* characters!

https://aldercone.itch.io/corporeal-considerations

turns out, there's a lot to consider when you are corporeal! (in fact i need to consider all the inflammatory pain bullshit because I have severe #MEcfs and I spent not enough time resting while making this, oops)

The McDonald's by Salford Crescent has an ableist policy, or at least an ableist staff member, gatekeeping the disabled toilets!

A colleague waited patiently outside the locked toilet door and when a staff member saw her they said "The toilets are upstairs." My colleague said she needed the disabled one, she was waiting because someone was inside. The staff said "No I've locked it" and got hostile. So inappropriate!

My colleague was actually told "You don't look disabled." #DisabilityLifestyle
