Loving the medical equipment swag. Just because its necessary for life doesn't mean it needs to be ugly and if anything that's a reason it shouldn't be! I'm also a fan of bespoke mobility aids, OT jewelry, and well-designed adaptive clothing.

Man, if Lemmy had enough users to sustain niche communities, an edc space dedicated to accessibility devices and other items that help people live life would be fucking awesome
What does OT jewelry mean in this context?
Occupational therapy like physical therapy but for fine motor control (usually the hands) instead of gross motor control (like the legs). It can also refer to the neurocognitive / attentional ability to engage in complex tasks. In this context I mostly mean splints like this but it can also refer to stim jewelry for people with autism, adhd, and similar that benefit from having fidget items or other stimulating material such as a chew on hand to reduce anxiety / agitation and to help with focus. Basically if you would need it to do a desk job, it probably falls under occupational therapy, but it also includes the same skills but applied to leisure and other activities.
You might like this thing. It's a tool for self-massage, invented by a Finnish wheelchair-bound person to quite literally scratch an itch :) I have one in the sauna and love it!
Lmao, I love your tread on me patch, and that knife is super nifty!
This looks like a lovely and super practical carry, thanks for sharing it!
Its always really interesting to get a glimpse into the world of someone who has to deal with very different things than yourself- the jar for needles seems like an excellent way to dispose of them!
I've thought about carrying a lighter just for other folks but I'm not sure enough people in the spaces I inhabit smoke enough I'd ever be able to offer it to folks. Though I don't get our much anyway, so that doesn't really help either 😅
