dear all cane and crutch users, i have to tell yall about wide base cane tips. they're extremely handy imo, they allow your cane or crutch to stand straight up without having to lean it on anything!
[ID: picture of maja's crutch, it's gray with red tape, a faded 'bitter cripple' sticker, and a black plaid strap. it has a wide black tip that's letting it stand straight up without leaning on anything /end ID]
this is my crutch! i can't imagine using it without the base, i leave it standing up when i need both my hands, and it stays where i put it! it does require the ability to balance it which is is hard to pick up on at first, but it's still a great option for a lot of people! here's some other examples:

[ID: 2 black kmina circular wide cane tips. one is sitting straight up and the other is on its side /end ID]

these are the ones i have, they're lightweight (some others are heavier, like the first example) and truly a life saver. they aren't that much more expensive than regular tips, i got that two pack for $20, and they should last me a good long while.
i hope that can help some of y'all!!
we’re gonna be ok btw
it’s ok if you’re scared. or tired. or unsure. or one million billion other complicated emotions at once. but i’ve decided things are going to be ok anyway. and i will hold that belief close to my heart no matter how scared or tired or lonely or depressed or one million billion other things i am. i will hold onto that. and if you’re scared, you can hold onto me. we can carry each other through
