The system you ignore now which lets disabled people suffer and die will be the one you inherit. So figure this shit out now before they cease to believe you like they do us.
βWe have decided to give you access.β
Access and accommodation are not charitable gifts to disabled people.
It is doing the right thing because, for too long, the excluders have denied disabled people entry, opportunity and participation.
Me, a wheelchair user, to 3 people standing & talking on curb ramp: βCan I get get down the ramp?β
Person: βCanβt you see weβre talking?β
Me: βIf you stay on the ramp, I canβt cross the street.β
Person: βYou canβt wait until weβre done? Thatβs rude.β
Seeking access is not rude.
If someone says theyre "child free" the appropriate response is to direct the convo in another way. Ask them what they like to do with their time. Recommend a local museum. Idc what you do but dont ask them why theyre child free or tell them itll change in the future. 1/2
Stranger at bus stop to me, a wheelchair user: βI donβt get it. Why would you take the bus when you could get those door-to-door handicapped vans?β
Me: βI want access to all forms of transit. I refuse to be limited to a separate, segregated, inferior mode of transit.β
Building employee: βThe elevator is out of service. It may take a few weeks to fix it.β
For disabled people, a broken lift/elevator is not an inconvenience.
It is an emergency and should be treated as such.
Thereβs no βshouldβ in speculative worldbuilding. Yes, you CAN make a grimdark fantasy setting with violence and horror without SA, slavery, racism, or misogyny. Yes, you CAN create a solarpunk tech utopia where disabled people exist fully, openly, and at the forefront!
Expecting people to mask, especially at large events, especially at events concerning disabled folks, isn't expecting perfection. It's expecting literally the bare minimum. The bar is buried underground at this point
.@DispelMagicPod@SideKQPodcast I donβt think the hallow moat would keep those creatures out unless they had no access to teleportation magic. If they can Dimension Door or Teleportation Circle their way in, they can completely bypass the most.
