Posted @withrepost • @sinsinvalid Fulfilling and prioritizing access needs as well as honoring access as another point of view is another key part of disability justice. What does your access, your way of knowing the world, look like? How do you resist Abled culture? . Posted @withrepost • @mia.mingus Those of us who have access needs that shape our lives know this all too well. My experience as a disabled baby, child, youth, and adult who needed access has shaped everything about me. Everything. . Access creates a culture onto-itself. It is a completely different way of being in the world; of knowing the world. Disability culture is so different from Abled culture. Like night and day. And access is a huge part of that difference. . Ableism teaches us that disabled people must be “included” into abled people’s world, culture, and lives, when Abled culture makes that virtually impossible. Under ableism, access is framed as *only* logistical, but under disability justice, access is grounded in relationships and people’s shared humanity. This is why access intimacy is so important. It gets to the cultural part of access. Access intimacy is foundational to a culture of access.🌿 .
