Five years… five long years he’s been dormant… and he’s hungry. Jason’s out there… watching… always on the prowl for intruders. Waiting to kill… waiting to devour… Thirsty for young blood.

Here’s this for anyone who needs it. So much of the world seems awful right now but the world did this just a half hour ago. It said to send it to you. 😉
A man has built Ogo, a hands-free wheelchair for his paraplegic friend (video)
Holy shit this is awesome.
For any wheelchair users following me!

every few months I forget about this and then see it again and it is always one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.
So this time I looked it up, I wondered how to get one and how much it cost. Turns out it was a bit hard to find, actually, and that’s because it’s no longer called the Ogo, it’s called the Omeo.
They are pretty advanced as a product now, in terms of accessories, color options, etc (they have an off road conversion kit and stuff!). They are kind of expensive, tho not necessarily when compared to other wheel chairs, which cost anywhere from a couple hundred bucks for a shitty one, to like 4k for a high end electric one. An Omeo will cost you just under 2k.
Here is their website, if you want to learn more: https://omeotechnology.com/
ONE MORE TIME FOR ALL MY WHEELCHAIR USERS!!!!
On this day, 10 August 1889, Polish World War II resistance fighter and writer Zofia Kossak-Szczucka was born in Kośmin, Lublin Governorate. During the German occupation of Poland, Zofia worked on the underground press, co-editing a resistance newspaper, founded a Catholic resistance group and another group to help save Jewish people from extermination. She was arrested after being denounced by a Polish aristocrat and sent to Auschwitz, however fortunately the resistance secured her release. In 1944 she joined the Warsaw uprising against the Nazis, and survived the war, living until the age of 78. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1497172930467852/?type=3
