- I have a variety of daily prayers that are a mix of my own work and pieces from a devotional to Her.
- I also have a variety of weekly prayers that were read while holding the bowl that are a mix of my own work and pieces from a devotional.
- In exchange for Her assistance with helping me to have something like a “regular” sleep schedule, I used to write something for Her every day – 30 Days of Devotion prompts, prompts for Her blog, prompts for a project I need to wait before sharing, etc.
- I have a sideblog shrine to Her that’s currently WIP while I fix tags and clean them out.
- I hail Her on the various days of Her holy cycle: Vanic Wheel of the Year, July’s full moon (Loki’s Capture), several other dates.
Tags: Sigyn, Sigyn as a rebellious Teen, Strength of the Mountain, Loki & Sigyn. Instead of Sigyn as a Child, see: snails, butterflies. Also: keys, tea.
– Note: Sigyn* is still being worked through and will be merged into Sigyn. Sigyn will take a while to work through because it’s a fucking long tag (because it’s now holding previous tags like Deity: Sigyn, Deity: Sigyn*, m’Lady: Sigyn, Keeper of the Keys, etc.).

I no longer believe in the human race.
This is the laziest shit ever
How lazy can humans get?
Have you never met white ppl?
yh but if you look outside your own personal reasons for using this, laziness, it actually looks a really great and practical way to put on your socks if you have a disability that hinders you from otherwise being able so without someone there to help you
you do realise that there are people out there who literally have to travel door to door helping elderly people, disabled people and people with chronic illnesses to put on their socks? people are paid to help put on pressure socks to help with oedema? don’t you realise that if these people could have one of these tools, these caregivers could be doing something else and that this therefore is an incredible tool designed to cater for some of the most healthcare dependent people in our society? do you guys even realise there are other people living other lives?
i really wish i had this when my spine was broken and i had to wear a medical metal corset which made bending down impossible. i had to ask my mom to help me with socks and it was kinda humiliating.
My dad spends an hour in the morning getting dressed because he has no one to help him to get his socks on because his ankle is fused. If he had this it would literally save him an hour.
“Oh but people are so lazy!”
fuck off you ableist pieces of shit
Honestly I don’t even get how you could look at this and think “lazy”. This looks like more work for an otherwise able-bodied person than just putting their sock on the regular way. It’s pretty obvious this is meant for people who have trouble bending over, like come on.
You know how people go straight to “lazy” on this? Because we’re trained to think of most accessibility modifications as lazy. The disabled = lazy message is deeply embedded in our culture.
ok no but does anyone know where to get this? my best friend and housemate is unable to put on socks due to her illnesses and this would just make her so happy being the independent laydee that she is
My grandpa would have been so happy to have this. It would have made his last years so much easier.
Wow yes look at this useful tool. Here! https://www.activeforever.com/sock-aids
This would have been amazing when I was pregnant. I got so big and was in so much pain I could no longer bend down or even pull a leg into my lap (because I didn’t have one anymore) to put my shoes and socks on.
Mental Illness is isolating in and of itself, but i’ve always felt further detached and embarrassingly “other” in the sense that I seem to experience my illness in far messier, more inconvenient ways than others I know struggling with similar diagnosis. Struggling with mental illness can make you feel disconnected from the general public in the sense that they don’t know what it is to face a large portion of your daily life, but it’s infinitely more disheartening to feel that you can’t relate to other people who are supposed to understand your struggle. My experience is exhausting and inconvenient, it is not a woman wrapped in a sweater staring out her window with a mug of tea in an anti-depressant commercial. My experience is sloppy and cumbersome, it seems too ugly to share with the world and too divergent from the experience of those close to me to share with my friends, so I keep it to myself. It occurs to me that perhaps the reasons I have kept the full extent of my illness so far away from the public eye is the reason I have no representations of illness to relate to, perhaps this is precisely how others around me feel about their struggle. It’s taken me most of adult life to realize that this struggle is not something that I asked for and not something to be ashamed of in the way that I have been. These self-portraits are an attempt to frankly and unashamedly represent the positions that my mental illness puts me in on a daily basis, easy to look at and otherwise.

I have ordered wallet size cards that summarize ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) laws that apply to service animals. There are 50 in a pack, so if anyone wants some, let me know and I will send you a few! I plan to keep one or two with me when out and about so I have the resources to give anyone who is discriminating against service animals.
“The only two permissible questions are whether the animal is required
because of a disability and what work or task the animal has been
trained to perform. Further, under these same regulations, those
inquiries cannot be made if it is readily apparent that an animal is
trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability
(for example, it is usually pretty obvious when an individual is using a
seeing-eye dog).” [Source: summary of ADA laws on service dogs from the American Bar Association]You can’t ask to see paperwork or if the animal is registered as a service animal. There is no government-sanctioned registry of service animals, so a registered service animal is not really something that legally exists. Service animals are not required to be trained by a professional organization, they simply must be trained to perform tasks for their handler (who must have a disability).
Service animals are allowed in any public, governmental, or non-profit space provided they do not pose a threat to health and safety. For example:
- Service animals are allowed in restaurants, but they may be excluded from restaurant kitchens if the public is also not allowed in the kitchen. Members of the public generally aren’t allowed in commercial kitchens because it poses a food safety risk, likewise service animals are not.
- Service animals are allowed in the general areas of hospitals, including visiting patients on most wards. They are not allowed in sterile environments, such as operating rooms or burn units–the general public is also not allowed in these spaces.
A service animal that is not in the control of its handler (being aggressive to others, pooping indoors, etc) can legally be asked to be removed from the premises, but its handler must be allowed to stay without the animal and given the same service anyone else would have. The only species of animals that are covered as service animals under the ADA are dogs (any breed) and miniature horses up to 34″ tall and 100 lbs. Emotional support animals (ESAs) have some legal protections, but their right to access public spaces is not as broad as service animals. So you are legally permitted to prevent someone from bringing their emotional support bunny (or, even, dog, if it is an ESA and not a service dog trained to perform at least one task to help its handler with a disability) into your restaurant. ESAs are exempt from no-pet policies in housing and may not be charged pet fees while flying. Proving your animal is an ESA actually requires more paperwork than a service animal (you need a letter from a medical professional stating your need of the animal).
tl;dr: I will send you ADA service animal law cards if you want them. And don’t fucking pet a working service animal. Don’t even talk to it. It is working and you are being annoying (and possibly endangering its handler.)
