In case anyone finds it helpful because mobility aids are horrifically expensive and inaccessible…
And for those people who have access to mobility devices but might benefit from a second chair they can abuse without risking expensive damage…
Erik Kondo has made a website, Open Source Innovations, that details plans for DIY wheelchairs. These wheelchairs can be made from common materials like wood, plastic, and pvc. They are lightweight and can be custom fit to the user allowing from the same degree of movement you would get from a custom chair. And they are durable and easily repairable. (he has been stress testing his latest design by dropping it down stairs, dropping it out of a car, launching it across a driveway, and throwing it off a deck). Its 12lbs and I think he said its was in the $200 ish range for parts.
He also is working on cheap, open source, accessible designs for beach chairs, off road chairs, motorized attachments (think smart drive), and so on. Plus he skateboards in his wheelchair. Cool dude, helpful info, pass it on.
Could you draw Fear State Scarecrow, during his college/graduate student years? I can't get over his sweater vest. Or how he info-dumped to a complete stranger about his fear state theory, who didn't even ask him about it. 😆 I just thought he'd look really neat in your style.
oh I LOVED all the shapes he makes. beautiful little ginger thing
This is a fundraiser on @/el-shab-hussein's list of vetted fundraisers. It is one of the ones that is very low on funding so I am highlighting it today with a graphic because people respond to images more than just text.
Their donations are very slow at the moment. Please consider donating!

Hello, I am Heba Al-Anqar, 21 years old, a university student. My university was suspended due to the war. I am writing about my family: my father Bakr (54 years old), my mother Alaa (46 years old), and my sisters Aya (18 years old), Amal (15 years old), Muhammad (13 years old), and Maryam (8 years old). We have faced many challenges in this war, from the destruction of our home to the famine we continue to suffer in northern Gaza.
My father suffers from heart problems. He had open-heart surgery when he was 36 years old. He also suffers from cartilage problems. He had his pelvic joint replaced about two years ago, in addition to other health problems. He cannot work due to his health condition.
My mother also suffers from asthma and shortness of breath, in addition to the difficulty of obtaining treatment due to the conditions and the war.
This is our house, which was destroyed by war
We have become homeless in places of refuge, in addition to the difficulty of obtaining medicine, food, and daily expenses
I created this account to request your help in this difficult ordeal by donating to meet the necessary needs, as we were relying on social assistance before the war.
My goal is to help my family live in safety and provide the necessary necessities for living, as there is a high cost of living and difficulty in obtaining necessities. We ask for your help in leaving the Gaza Strip to save my family’s life. The cost of travel is $5,000 per adult and $2,500 per child, in addition to travel and accommodation expenses of $500 per month.
Together, we can support Heba and her family through this ordeal. Your donation, no matter how big, can make a difference in my family's life to get life and start a new life
If you are looking to support Heba and her family, please consider providing assistance directly or through relevant charitable organizations.

but what if they were friends
[id: 4 sketches of miles and spot. in the first, they’re both wearing civilian clothes; miles in his hoodie and jacket, and spot in a hoodie, glasses, mask, and hat. miles is gesturing to him, saying “this is my friend, …..patrick. he’s normal.” spot adds, “mhm. yep. just a normal, regular guy,” while doing the thumbs up. the second image is a comic, where miguel in full costume is running towards miles and spot. spot has his hands up defensively and is saying “uhhhh”. in the second panel, miles jumps into one of the spots and emerges above miguel to punch him in the face. spot hunches over defensively, screaming. the third drawing is also a comic, with miles going up to spot and saying “hey, man, we make a pretty good team!” spot responds, “heck yeah we do! high five!” but when miles high fives him, his hand goes through a spot, jabbing spot in the back of the head. he says “OW” as miles says “oooh, sorry.” the final drawing is of miles and spot sitting together, eating hot dogs and chatting. end id]
