‘It Feels Like Me Again’: World’s First Arm Exoskeleton Gives Stroke Patients Independence
'When a new technology crops up, seemingly out of nowhere, that is a signal to dig deeper—because it came from somewhere, and lately it’s been seeming that the more nefarious the purpose, the more benevolent the origins'

No really that was just the idea, I wanted to draw two characters interacting in a somewhat wholesome way LMAO

One of the stories illustrates one of the many shitty things about systemic ableism. It's often NOT that you can't work, it's that the system will not meet your access needs. This guy could work with the right prosthetic, but worker's comp refused to pay for it.

How's everyone doing tonight?
I slept most of the day because of pain from #Fibromyalgia and #RheumatoidArthritis, so now I'll probably be up all night. I'm going to try and get some studying done even though my hands hurt. Really hoping the compression gloves I ordered come in soon.
Since college didn’t work out, I've been building my own self-paced curriculum:
Tonight I'm deciding whether to focus on Christian Leaders coursework, coding, or Braille proofreading.
Tomorrow's my 34th birthday. My mom’s taking me out to eat, and later we're visiting a new ocularist to see about prosthetic eyes. My current ones no longer fit and cause pain, so they'll likely need to start me with conformers first. I'm dreading that part, but it’s time. I haven't been refitted for new ones since I was 16, a few months after a surgery to remove my extremely painful right eye.

‘I am fascinated by robotics and dream of replicating the remarkable abilities of the human body,’ says Raffaella Carloni, Prof. of Robotics at the UG. 🤖
Carloni develops artificial limbs, such as the #bionicleg, and studies how #AI can help to make #prostheses 'smarter'. 🦿
