A manila anatomical bookmark with a dashed outline of a human, on a golden shimmering underarm crutches. They also wear a large golden orthopedic boot. Their body is filled with teal abstract patterns of evoking spiderwebs, and if you look closely, you can see that there is contrasting golden shimmer in them too. The patterns go up to just below the shoulders and neck, which are not filled in at all. Instead, they are outlined in gray dashes, as though implying that something involving this area is missing.

at the top in the memo section written in teal ink is "2025-12-4 Exactly 10 years since mobility impairment, broke same leg" — 2025-12-4 Celebrating my 10 year physical disability* anniversary in a rather eerie way.

*Known disability, it’s possible to be disabled or have infection risk factors you don’t know about.

I started this in December and only finished it last week. Crip time!

I love the colors, and the hugeness of the ankle boot! I'm looking at this on a small screen, so I am gradually scrolling down, and the boot comes as a surprise 😊
