This is mildly embarrassing, but... Well, I'll share it, it might help you too.

As a man who's been a bit short on foot for the past 8 years, I have this annoying problem when I go for a wee: I lean forward slightly for that last drop, and more often than not, I find myself falling forward in slow motion and scrambling to free a hand to catch the wall in front of me - which has resulted in me looking like a fool in many a public bathroom.

My wife heard me slam the wall in the bathroom for the nth time and told me: "Why don't you take one step forward, straddle the john and pee straight down?"

Duh... Yeah, that works. It doesn't look very manly, but it's completely obvious 🙂

A new Justice Department memo undermines key aspects of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

As a bilateral above-the-knee amputee, Mandy Horvath has set multiple world records, hoisting herself up mountains and monuments, with only her arms and her willpower. Her greatest achievement to date, is her ascent of Mount Kilimanjaro in 2021. For this and other significant accomplishments, she’s recently been named on the TIME100 Sports list.

Amputee Outdoors - Find out what you can learn from a one-legged backpacker! This is a site for everyone who loves hiking, backpacking, camping and the outdoors, not just amputees. Here you'll find advice, gear reviews, and links to hiking videos promoting adaptive outdoor activities.

White House adviser Stephen Miller was the driving force behind the Justice Department’s recent memo authorizing states to institutionalize people with disabilities rather than fund community-based care, said people briefed on the situation.

Wow!

Hari Budha Magar is a Nepali double above-knee amputee and record-breaking mountaineer. On 6th January 2026, he became the first double amputee to complete the Seven Summit challenge after climbing Mount Vinson, Antarctica’s tallest mountain. He is also a Guinness World Records Icon. He shares his inspiring story.

Everyone was rooting for me to resume walking after limb loss. Except me.

Art is a quad amputee that saw a couple of my videos and wanted to check out my project in real life to see if one, or a pair of my devices could be utilized to improve his day to day..

after seeing what I was able to do in person, and trying it out for himself, he was sold.

this video also contains a pile of shop kitten clips. enjoy!

This is the second time it's happened, but this time the phantom pain came first.

I think I hurt my back digging a hole in the yard this weekend. It felt like I had just stretched a muscle or something. But this morning, I woke up to extra-spicy phantom limb pain in one foot - electric shocks, which is unusual, because I don't normally get it like that - and later in the day, my buttock on that side started throbbing like proper sciatica.

I went see the doc and she doesn't believe I can get phantom pain before getting sciatica. I'm not sure I believe it either, but it can't be a coincidence. Also, just like last time, my buttock seems okay now, but the phantom pain isn't going away...

Have you experienced this sort of thing too or is it in my head?

When your lived experience with limb loss becomes part of your job, where do you draw the line?

A Georgia man said Wednesday that he was traumatized by severe medical neglect at a problem-plagued jail in Atlanta that led to the amputation of his fingers and lower legs.

Rashaad Muhammad was arrested in August and taken to the Fulton County Jail, where medical staff failed to provide antibiotics and other medical supplies he repeatedly told them he needed, his lawyers said. Less than two weeks later, his condition had deteriorated to the point that he could no longer stand and he was taken to a hospital, where he was ultimately told the amputations were necessary to save his life.

I have special feet and these are my new special boots. And they're awesome!

It took the shoemaker over 6 months to make them, but they're perfect. Someone's gonna be hiking everywhere soon 🙂

Yes, I know, they're just shoes. But they're something special to me. Today is a good day!

Many images of palms left by Stone Age people on cave walls are missing a phalanx or several phalanges of the fingers. What if it's not a coincidence?

According to Canadian scientists, part of the finger may have been removed as part of a ritual intended to appease a deity or promote social cohesion.

Investigating a common gene in three very different species—salamanders, mice and zebrafish—scientists have discovered the potential for a novel gene therapy aimed at eventually regrowing limbs in humans, according to new research published this week.
