Website still partially under construction-- thanks for your patience
Disability can claim anyone at any time. It's possibly the only marginalised demographic you can join unexpectedly, apart from becoming a refugee. If you can think of any others let me know; I like to be as inclusive as possible.
Becoming disabled and navigating the various accommodations you need just to be able to function, let alone continue your hobbies, is as much disheartening as it is difficult. And babygirl, I understand. There's also a lot of emotional stuff to work through as well, adjusting your mindset, and getting good with a lot of things real quick... where to even begin?
If you're here because you too are suffering with chronic illness or a disability, I'd like to first start off by saying I'm sorry for what you're going through. It's not your fault (in most cases it's no one's fault) and if life were fair you wouldn't be having to read this, and I wouldn't have to type it up. But we know it's not, and here we both are.
This section of the site contains:
What I'm about re all of this
Reviews on tools that help me keep the art going
Links to articles I find relevant/more succinct than I (in the works)
Possibly videos in the future (but not quite yet)
My promise to you
I hope this helps you, or at least helps you understand what my whole deal is.
Best intentions, đź’•

Expanded on from my social media post about my whole thing, and what it's like creating with chronic illness.
Tools and tricks I use and reccommend to make creating (and living) with chronic illness easier, depending on what your specific situation is.
