thinkaboutelephants: Ammonite Septa detail in an ammonite. Septa are the walls of the chambers of the shell. They were filled with seawater or air to change elevation.  The process of fossilization is done through mineral replacement. Pyrite can replace the septa of an ammonite, as seen above. This ammonite is likely to have been treated with bismuth, causing the rainbow color of the crystals. 

Having a down moment

This is going to sound really stupid but most of the time I actually forget I’m in a wheelchair. It’s the norm now and I don’t notice it. When I’m at uni it doesn’t really affect me, I go to lectures, I study at the library or at home, go to exams. None of these things really require me to be able to walk or even challenge my disability. 

So when I actually have to do something more challenging. I’m hit harder. With the sudden realisation that I am different. I am limited and there are lots of things I can’t do.

There are some plans this summer to go to a theme park with friends with all these big rides that throw you around. I searched it up on the website checking the accessibility. There are lots of things I can’t go on, but there is also parking, different access points to avoid steps, about 2 or 3 different passes for carers, discounts and queuing issues. Doctors notes to prove things etc etc.

All I want to do is have a great day out with my friends and not have to think about my disability. I have to plan plan plan. This is something I’m still not used to and it fucking sucks.
