You know, something to put on my Taco so other people come up to me and are like "Hell yeah! Gay hockey best hockey!" And we become friends and watch games together.
Preferably something with an actual duck in the design. Ducks are awesome.
All the stuff I found was not outdoors ready.
I've been relearning ASL after losing a lot of my speech, and obviously the most important topic is hockey. I figure fingerspell PWHL, but do any of the teams have name signs? Or is it just the city name? Love to learn some so I can get back to annoying my friends and family by talking about nothing but hockey, but in asl.
One of my disabilities is aphasia. My aphasia has been pretty acute (I'm basically mute) for the last 12 days, so I've been thinking about it a lot. After reading an article about "curing" a specific disability, I gave some thoughts to the old trifecta of would I, should I, could I "cure" myself. And it hit me. Even with my aphasia being as pronounced as it is right now, my real "impairment" is _100%_ other people/ableist society, or very nearly that.
With the caveat that this is about my situation, and my form of aphasia (TMA)... With accomodations, I would have no "impairment." When I can speak, if people were patient and polite, we'd have 0 problems communicating. If they weren't impatient, talk over me, turn away when they speak when I could see their mouth, trying to converse in a noisy room where my aphasia is worse, willing to let me use AAC at my own pace, and had AAC devices available for emergencies when mine breaks or runs out of batteries, if they didn't walk off before I finish... my aphasia wouldn't prevent me from communicating at all. And 90% of the accommodations are just 'don't be an ass hole' while most of the remainder would help able people too! Again, just my disability, and a particular one of mine at that... There's absolutely no reason I should be prevented from communicating even when I'm mute!
Yeah I know I just 'reinvented' one of the core concepts of disability rights, and this is nothing new. But I've only just realized how it applies to one of my situations. An other disability I have is less clear cut, and I'd have to think more about it. But you know what? That kinda pisses me off, realizing with very little effort from society most of my aphasia problems would have gone away. It makes me ready to storm the Bastille; who has pitchforks to pass out?
