FREE WHEELCHAIR TO A CRIP IN NEED!

I’m looking to directly donate Ariel to someone who could use her.

She’s a Crossfire T6 rigid frame wheelchair with an 18" seat, Matrix Elite backrest, and Spinergy Spox wheels. Heavily used, but still has life in her.

This is not a good chair for someone who often needs to be pushed–she has no handles. (This is honestly great for stopping strangers from trying to “help” without asking.) She’d be best for someone who is good at self-propelling (hence my switch; my shoulders and wrists have gone to hell). Her backrest also no longer collapses.

Still, this is a marvelous chair and is a real step up from the standard clunky chairs folks lacking good insurance or supportive docs get stuck with. She’s lightweight and maneuverable, and I always got tons of compliments on her.

I’m located in Baltimore, MD, USA and cannot really travel.

Years ago, Tumblr helped me raise enough money to move away from my abuser. This is me trying to pay it forward–I don’t want anything in return. I just want someone else to be able to feel the freedom and joy Ariel gave me when I first got her.

Please only request via comment (directly or in reblog); I can’t tell who asked first if you directly message me, and it’s first come, first served. Reblogs for boosting welcome.

@vaspider @thebibliosphere as far as I know neither of you is personally in need of this but I know both of you are supportive of other disabled people and if you don’t need it, you might have followers who could use it?

Barbie and the Rockers: The Hottest Group in Town Book (1987)

Illustrations by Tom Tierney

Illustrating Barbie has got no more exciting in the 30 years hence. Trust me on this.

I do/did love this illustration style.  What is that, gouache?

My friends (and/or sisters) had some stuff from this era with this artwork, so this is the first Barbie I can remember.
