prayer to whichever dead catholic person is most appropriate: may I not have to run a whole week of surprise camps on crutches. in a knee brace.

Im agnostic raised liberal protestant, but absolutely the catholics got saints right. Sometimes your problem is so fucking specific you need Some Guy. If you’re listening, Guy of Workers Who Have Strain Injuries,

No fucking WAY, there’s actually a knee injury Guy? Catholicism accidentally reinventing the medical specialty system……

I know you’re wondering: are there slutty pictures of him revealing his knees?

changing elves from being assholes with a superiority complex and recharacterising them as just sort of weird guys that have an entirely different set of social behaviours to harken back to the days when people thought autistic people were a kind of fae for having odd behaviours. the entire reason why they dont particularly enjoy gatherings of men or dwarves or whatever is because they tend to be loud and the average elven social gathering is just a bunch of them sitting in a room in silence ignoring each other

like theyre still kind of mean but its more of them being blunt and lacking empathy rather than being condescending or purposefully malicious

my elven ass after spending 45 minutes in the pub with my dwarf friends:

I GROW WEARY OF MIMICKING YOUR OBNOXIOUS MANNERISMS TO ACCOMMODATE FOR THIS ENVIRONMENT. I WISH TO RETURN TO MY CHAMBERS TO REST AND SO I MAY PLAY SPLATOON 3 ON THE NINTENDO SWITCH. WE SHALL GATHER AGAIN NEXT HALF MOON AND I SHALL TELL YOU OF MY VICTORIES.

Okay, this is super preliminary, but since we’ve been talking about zoo accessibility I wanted to launch a project I’ve been planning for a couple months.

One of the hardest things about visiting zoological facilities when disabled is the lack of knowledge ahead of time, right? Often the information on the zoo’s website about accessibility doesn’t contain everything folk need to know to plan a visit. I think we can probably help fix that, even if it’s with just crowd-sourced knowledge!

This is a google spreadsheet for recording accessibility information for various zoos. It is super unfinished right now, FYI. That’s partially because I need to fill in more of it from my own experiences, and partially because there are things I didn’t note or experience - which I’d love for y'all to chime in about.

Categories for the spreadsheet so far include rentable assistance options, service dog information, accessible bathroom locations, mobility, vision, auditory and sensory issues (or accommodations), food allergy options, and general notes. I’m also including the information each zoo website provides, and guest assistance phone numbers, so all the information is in one place.

Crowd-sourced US Zoo Accessibility Information

Sheet1 Facility Name,Location,Guest Services #,Accessibility information online,Rentable options?,Service Animal information,Service animal

Google Docs

To add to this crowd-sourced zoo accessibility resource:

1. Send an ask to the blog, or comment on the appropriate cel on the spreadsheet (if the facility you want to comment on is already listed).
2. Provide the name of the zoo/aquarium/sanctuary and the approximate date you visited.
3. Tell me your experiences / information, and what categories they belong in.
4. Feel free to submit photos, if that’s useful info! I’m going to see if I can find a way to host them and link in the spreadsheet.

I’ll take information as it’s submitted and integrate it into the sheet. If the zoo you’ve visited isn’t on the list yet, I still want to add it! This resource is going to stay US-based, however. (I just don’t have the capacity to manage an international one).

Obviously, I can’t personally verify everything people submit, so this is very much a resource and not a definitive guide. Date stamps are crucial important for keeping track of what’s recent and what might have been updated since someone visited.

Let’s make zoo, aquarium, and sanctuary visits more accessible for everyone!

Okay! I think I’ve got almost everything that was added (via ask, reblog, or spreadsheet comment) integrated! Had to take a bit of time off for health reasons, but happy I can come back to it again.

I’ve added a bunch more categories based on your suggestions and contributions, including: parking, multi-lingual support, ride/show/transit accessibility, sun exposure, food & water, low/no cost entrance, support staff policies, options for SDs (bathroom spots, etc), behind-the-scenes accessibility, elevator locations, bench frequency/locations… it’s getting huge but I think it’s super important information.

I’ve done a bit of formatting to try to make the spreadsheet less visually overwhelming. Topics aren’t in any particular order, although I tried to group related concepts together. Grey columns are for information copied from the facility website, and white comments are for the most important part of the spreadsheet: your comments and feedback! That way what’s shared officially can be differentiated visually from what people have contributed.

Please feel free to send me more information and I’ll update it as I have time.

Comments and feedback from personal experience are the most useful contributions. I’m going through as I have time and populating the information from the zoo’s website, so while I super appreciate it when you send me that, you don’t need to duplicate that work. What I want to know is what I can’t find online!

How long are the hills? How’s the path conditions? How did you feel like the staff reacted to your SD? Is the signage at wheel-chair level appropriate for adults, or just kids? That sort of thing is the meat of this project.

TIA.

friendly reminder for the new twitter refugees:

• change your icon/pfp and put something coherent in your blog description or you’re going to get blocked bcs people think you’re a bot
• this site is built around reblogs, so please actually reblog posts(especially art and fics!!)
• you can set your likes and follows to private
• checkmarks here are a meme and mean nothing
• follower counts are private and we like it that way, so get used to not judging people by that metric
• drama and discourse is boring, use your blacklist and block button liberally
• DON’T CENSOR YOURSELF!! we can swear and say kill and make fun of corporations all we want, and if you tiktok-ify your tags people who have things blacklisted for whatever reason will still see them, and people who want to see that content won’t be able to find it!! spell words out normally, you won’t get in trouble!!
• tumblr live is sketchy as hell and full of fake accounts, if you decide to use it anyway may god have mercy on your soul o7
• be nice to the reddit refugees, they’re our friends <3

This is the first time I’ve actually seen a positivity post mention my illness type! That’s really cool.
