Kev is one of 6 main characters in the wheelchair basketball comic I'm working on. He's is a retired wheelchair rugby player - hence why his chair looks so different to the other characters I've drawn so far - and when his wife (who's art is coming soon) started a wheelchair basketball team, but was struggling to get the numbers to actually play, he signed up too.
Personality wise, Kev is the team's jokey uncle and is meant to be a direct foil to the more serious characters on the team, like Ruby. He's already done the whole "serious athlete thing" and while he enjoys the game, at the end of the day, just there to have fun and support his wife, and remind the younger members to not get too wrapped up in it all.
He's a quad amputee (through the palms on his hands, above the knee on his legs) and is missing a good chunk of his tail too, making him a low-pointer on the court. Low point players are those who's disabilities impact their ability to play more severally, and they usually play in more defensive and supportive rolls than high-point players.

“If we were to see immune damage manifesting at a population level, it would look like what we’re seeing today: big waves of common illnesses. Unusual spikes of uncommon illnesses. Course reversal for previously declining and eliminated illnesses. An unexplained, global wave of sickness.”

'To Lorna Tilley, an #Australian archaeologist who specializes in the way past #societies cared for #people who were #sick or #disabled, the #fact that the baby was buried in a monumental tomb with other children and adults should come as no surprise. "I'm not sure, unless it was a really dramatic case, it would have been thought of as strange," she says. "Most babies, in most circumstances, are looked after."

In fact, the evidence..."

Today I learned about Able To Play, a website that will apparently match you to #videogames based on your specific #accessibility requirements. It sounds potentially excellent.

Unfortunately it requires you to create and log into an account, linking a personal identifier (email address) to a bunch of metrics about your accessibility needs in a database owned by someone you probably don't know or trust.

This is such an astonishing misstep that it makes me question whether #disabled people were involved in its development at all. They could've let people use it anonymously, trading some repeat visitor convenience for trust or storing the data locally on their device.

There seems to be an #interrail sale on at most of the usual sites.

And here's my regular reminder that if you are in the UK and have a Disabled Person's Railcard then you can get an equivalent Interrail pass for your companion for free from the official UK seller. myinterrail.co.uk
Buy your own pass, then contact them by email for instructions. They are very helpful.

I just heard on cbc radio that if you're #Disabled or elderly and low income, "most provinces" have financial help to install safety measures like railings on staircases, or extra lights

“Are you trying to make my life more difficult?!”

… yeah, I said that to a manager at the blood lab today after they gave me some serious BS about my ID and the validity of my lab slip, refusing me service. They surprisingly did the lab work after I said that. Amazing, isn’t it? /s

I don’t usually pull out my calm and pointed directness but I had to today. I hope my words sting for a while.
