cis men continue to be at it again (trying to "teach" me out of the blue about basic unit conversions like i haven't already been doing them since i was 12, while I'm silently minding my own business trying to eat something for once today)
how is that the timing???? not even asking, just fucking "educating" me about how to convert miles to kilometers (????? it's 1.6km in a mile, or 8/5, go away) the first time i am upright and in the main room today
i would already be annoyed, no one gives a shit about a surprise and condescending mansplanation without warning, but also he KNOWS this is not acceptable behavior toward me because he literally lived with me for 5 years
now he's annoyed because i told him if he was gonna be obnoxious at me i was leaving the room and then walked away mid-sentence
I'm the one who doesn't even get to eat with my kid now, after he ignored me saying no, the fuck is HE annoyed for
i have a spare folding rollator with footrests, a seat, and a backrest plus extra bar for emergency use as a short term wheelchair if needed. it's like new. i had to replace it (and i also didn't need the extra features anymore), plus I am moving overseas, and I would love this to go to someone who needs it for absolutely nothing in the denver metro area. no questions asked.
i am in town until june 15 and can drive some distance to meet up somewhere public for exchange, up to 45 minutes one way (measured during off hours even if we decide on traffic hours!) from The Medical Center at Aurora (off Potomac).
first claim takes it, we'll schedule from there. please, please reach out if you need it, even if you're shy. this thing helped me so much and there are so many of us underserved and/or newly LC disabled. it's okay to try out something new to make things easier. and you too can pass it along if it doesn't work for you!
on one hand sometimes i post every thought and on another hand sometimes i would like the peace and quiet of no posts. on my third hand i shall simply actually start up my forum
