“Oracle” aka Batgirl
Did you know that DC Comics had their character, Batgirl (Batman’s daughter, Barbara Gordon), become paralyzed after being shot by her arch-enemy, The Joker, who then changed her identity to “Oracle”…a sexy paraplegic, computer genius, who ran her team of able-bodied ass-kicking proteges from her home in Gotham’s Clocktower? And the coolest part? WB had a show based on “Oracle” called Birds of Prey, that was on from 2002 – 2003. “Oracle” was played by Dina Meyers; a red headed, blue-eyed, future-esque using wheelchair phenom…this sexy, main character WITH a disability was and still is a big deal to have ever made it to network television. A powerful and SEXY woman in a wheelchair?! Usually VERY taboo…. …

What Do You Appreciate More…Now?
How has your disability influenced you in such a way, that you appreciate certain things more than “everyone else?” It’s funny. For me – over all these crazy years of having a SCI – “The Little Things Tiff Appreciates” list has grown exponentially. Here are mine: – A hot cup of coffee WITH creamer (ok, maybe everyone loves this one, but it had to be said). – Sunshine. Even those blessed 30 seconds when the clouds shift, and the sun shines on my face for a moment in time, as I drive down the freeway and like magic, I warm up, can be orgasmic. – “Fresh scent” oil candles by…

Since When Did Touch Lamps Go Out of Style?
There’s something about touch lamps that makes this C6 quad a happy girl. I mean, all you gotta do is touch them – ANYWHERE – and then voila! “…and then there was light!” Anyways, I went and bought myself a very cool modern touch lamp from IKEA last week (it’s in my living room next to my couch), and it’s increased my happiness level by at least 50% (for now…of course being human, that’ll eventually change). It even has a dimmer “switch” (which really isn’t a switch; you just hold your hand up against it for a few seconds and it’ll start dimming). What I bought: IKEA Stockholm table lamp…

What’s In Your Wheelchair?
Admit it. We’ve all done it. After transferring into bed at night, you realize you’ve been rolling around all day with some embarrassingly bizarre object that has somehow attached itself/instered itself into your chair. It’s fess-up time, people. What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever found on your wheelchair, that either you unknowingly, or someone else, put there? Here’s my list: – Makeup pencil sharpener that hitched a ride on my footrests all day. – Makeup brush that managed to fall alongside my ass on my seat cushion. That’s where that went?! – Beach sand from Sanibel Island in FLORIDA that was still in my wheelwell, discovered after I had been back at home in MN for…

Why Do I Have This Incessant Desire to Ride In a Sidecar?
I’ve had this reoccurring obsession with sidecars over the past year. There’s no explanation for it really. It kind of just came out of no where. But, if I had to pin-point its beginnings, I’d have to say it was when I saw this uber cute semi-elderly couple tooling down Washington Ave. in a vintage motorcycle/sidecar “extravaganza” one day. I was giddy at the sight! Why? Because it dawned on me that I, despite my disability, could be that passenger in the sidecar. Riding in a sidecar was still an option for me; an option I’d never even considered up until that point. Blame it on the fact I was born in 1979;…

The Lame Para vs. Quad Debacle
In all my years as a member of the gimp community, one of the most ridiculous things I’ve come across is the way some paras and quads polarize their para or quadness, and form little lame ass gangs where they exhalt the characteristics of their injuries. For the life of me I could never figure this out. Are they so insecure that the only way they can feel better about themselves is so talk themselves into believing they’re somehow superior than the other half of the SCI population? I just don’t get it. And I know that a lot of quads, no matter their level, are bitter towards paras; jealous mainly…

Words You Should Know
Filed under: Funny Sh#t, Wheelchair Life — Tiffiny @ 3:32 pm Here’s how you say “wheelchair” in a few different languages: – Fauteuil Roulant (French) – Sillon de Ruedas (Spanish) – Rollstuhl (German) – Rolstoel (Dutch) – Sedia a Rotelle (Italian) – Kurumaisu (Japanese) And on the same token, if you use a wheelchair, knowing how to say “Fuck you” in a few different languages should also prove useful: – Va te faire toutre (French) – Jodete (Spanish) – Fick dich (German) – Kutding (Dutch) – Vaffanculo (Italian) – Mechi Baka (Japanese) Happy swearing wheelchair people! – Tiff
