“In my personal experience, women raise their voices because they feel like they aren’t being listened to. Men raise their voices because they feel like they aren’t being obeyed”
USB Ports: My phone never dies now and it doesn’t even noticeably drain my battery
Seat Warmers: just some cheap usb heating pads i got off ebay. because i’m not moving, i get cold really easily. this keeps me nice and toasty
Cane Holder: just a piece of pvc pipe i zip tied to my chair and some velcro to stop it rattling
Side Bag: this is made for a pram but its sooooo useful! the big pocket has three sections which can hold drinks, phones, whatever, and the little pocket unzips and i keep loose change in it
Legrest Holder: This bit of velcro holds my leg rests out of the way so i can get closer to a table. i normally sit cross-legged when im not moving. Also i coated the legs in rubber paint. i bang into things a lot and also its purple and pretty
Umbrella Holder: this is where my umbrella sits when i’m not using it -and- Drink Holder: This holds my drink bottle. its also made for prams but its great to have easy access to water. -and-
Bag Holder: Also from the pram section, i have these little clips on my handles that hold plastic bags. i can carry a whole cart worth of shopping on these
Umbrella Stand: this is a microphone stand, velcro and zip ties. it all folds away neatly but it will (hopefully) keep me dry without costing me my only free hand
Feel free to reply or message me if you are looking at modifying your chair and want some tips!
This is awesome! I feel like a lot of this stuff should just… come with the chair, though. Or there should at least be options you can buy [like the pram (aka stroller for us Yanks) stuff] instead of having to Macgyver an umbrella stand yourself.
These things should absolutely come as part of the chair. Design for disability is some of the most stagnant design i have ever seen. Its something that needs to change, but until it does, i’m gonna keep making my own mods
writing conclusions in papers is like the stupidest thing ever though like what’s the point of dedicating an entire paragraph to “so yeah i know you just read my paper but this is a summarization of what you read in case you need to be reminded about what you just read” like why can’t the paper just end
I keep seeing this post and similar ones, and if y’all’s teachers and professors have left you with the idea that a conclusion is a summary, they have failed you in a big way.
Your conclusion is your “so what’s the fucking point” section. You’ve given you’re reader a lot of info and now they need to know why they care. Depending on the type of paper you should be giving a plan of action, explaining how this knowledge changes our understanding of the topic, link your paper to other disciplines, suggest further areas of study, etc.
One of the best pieces of writing advice I’ve ever received is that if you can’t envision yourself dropping the mic and strutting off stage at the end of your conclusion then it’s probably not strong enough.
“So whats the fucking point” is more helpful than all 6 years I’ve probably been writing papers
Listen up, chucklefucks: I have a point to make.
Some shit went down. Here are the receipts.
Here is the tea.
^ Introduction, supporting paragraphs, conclusion: a basic essay structure.
1. In a 2011 paper on the medical effects of scurvy, author Jason C. Anthony offers a remarkable detail about human bodies and the long-term presence of wounds. “Without vitamin C,” Anthony writes, “we cannot produce collagen, an essential component of bones, cartilage, tendons and other connective tissues. Collagen binds our wounds, but that binding is replaced continually throughout our lives. Thus in advanced scurvy”
—reached when the body has gone too long without vitamin C
—”old wounds long thought healed will magically, painfully reappear.”
In a sense, there is no such thing as healing. From paper cuts to surgical scars, our bodies are catalogues of wounds: imperfectly locked doors quietly waiting, sooner or later, to spring back open. end id]
