Yeah, the gait analysis is where I am truly fucked because I’m visibly disabled (and have gone to protests where i have been threatened with arrest, but evaded so far). I have been thinking about using my wheelchair at more protests though, so that might be able to fuck it up in the future.
Or everyone just needs to stick a rock in their shoe, or wear one shoes that has a bit of a platform.
In my experience a skein is a specific type of wound wool. It’s looped and then twisted and folded over. You can’t knit from a skein, you have to reball it first.
I remember hearing/reading at some point that they wanted to make her a re-occurring character, but it got kiboshed by the network because of the costs of doing the low-grav scenes or some other bs.
Little (and current me) loved that episode. They didn’t get everything “right” but it still had some steong disability ideals, and that representation of not trusting why people are wanting to help you is so real, because sometimes they really are infantalizing you for no reason and you have to be so firm to get it to stop.
A side note though: a friendly heads up that a lot of people these days prefer to be referred to as wheelchair users instead of being wheelchair-bound. The idea being that mobility devices give freedom, and without them that’s when you’re bound to a place.
(Edit: I guess if you don’t count the kinky wheelchair users the other issue is that nobody is literally bound to their chairs :D)
On top of what OP said, why aren’t disabled people one of the target demographics*? Its literally a gaming experience that is mobile was also being able to be super accessible physically for a lot of disabled people. It’s also bad design practices, you need to consider access from the start - trying to shoehorn it in later can lead to sub-par access measures, or much bigger re-designs, or worst case just, parts of it not being accessible at all.
Seasons 4 & 5 of Voyager are ita strongest. When it was still airing and in the final season I got my first job and bought a bunch of vhs tapes to record the newest season as it aired, and I started ‘best of’ tapes from reruns. They were dominated by those two seasons.
Also that I heard some story ages ago that they did that romance based on a dare or a joke or something?
At least even before Picard came out they had already been broken up in the novel that followed right after.
I chuckled, because I am 100% a tea snob with strong opinions on how my tea should be made even though I also believe you like what you like. Exaggerating my opinions for laughs brings me joy IRL. It didn’t come off as serious to me.
I don’t like milk in my tea (my go to black tea is earl grey) because it takes away from the flavour. But I love chai. So the trick for me is just that the tea just needs a good brew in the milk, not just the water (also I guess, adding more spices to it is also necessary).
But my earl grey? I had to stop using sugar because it sets off my acid reflux, so now I use maple syrup :D
I have gone down the chai rabbithole in the last year. First my partner taught me how to make a chai base from their days in a cafe, but then we got this metal milk frother you can use on the stove as well. Now I’m making one or two chais a day individually. It’s a bit meditative as well (I sit on a stool next to it so it doesn’t burn/boil over).
Chocolate chai’s are also amazing, and I’ve been making them some nights as a dessert after dinner.
