literally and that's the entire design of the process. the purpose of a system is what it does etc etc. the idea that it's a rampant issue that ppl are willingly enduring the humiliation and we thus need to Make It Worse is completely fucking bonkers

What if we lived in a world where 'accommodations' weren't something provided on sufferance but simply made available to anyone who needs them for any reason without question. (Literally what my email sig says!)

not that it should be that way but like brother What are people even taking advantage of. getting accommodations is an exercise in dehumanizing yourself and doing a little dance only to Maybe get an accommodation that actually accommodates maybe 5% of anyone's actual needs. it's so stupid

it's such an absurd argument that somehow believes accommodations do pretty much anything at all besides humiliate whoever manages to fight for them hard enough lol

that is legitimately baffling like....... i honestly have no words

WHAT???????????

ooooh 👀 i'll have to check it out! i had the same issue, socks are great for flying + if your main problem is blood pooling but mine isn't—my dr mentioned that abdominal compression works better bc that's where the biggest arteries etc are!!

abdominal compression is a lifesaver!! that + an SI belt has saved me soooo many times

ohh the emotion on sjol's face here is soo lovely

this is the best thing to ever happen to me and the worst thing to happen to my 798/800 glam dresser
