This Good Friday remember that Jesus died for our sins, and make sure you celebrate like all the shopping centres by making literally everywhere inaccessible!! Jesus died so all the cripples could suffer!! (/j)
No matter your ability, gender, religion, age ect. Please enjoy this randomly forced religious public holiday and make sure all the accessible/unisex toilets, lifts, accesible entrances and fire exits are close to, if not impossible, to get to!!
All the accessible and unisex toilets are blocked off by barricades (because the majority of shops in the shopping centre are closed) and the only open Starbucks entrance requires you to walk down 8 stairs.
This is one of the many access issues I have faced today because apparently disabled people have to stay home on these random religious public holidays because things just are not allowed to simply be accessible 24/7. Why would we want people to be able to do things whenever they want?
- Personal highlights of my Good Friday -
Had to wheel my chair into a gendered toilet (probably for the first time in a year that I’ve been forced to use a gendered one) and leave the door to the stall open for everyone to see (wheelchair didn’t fit obviously); because remember Jesus died so you could witness me pee.
Sat in my chair at the top of 8 random stairs because for some reason every Starbucks has to have a random stairs up to some weird inaccessible viewing area because it’s “aesthetic” and watched everyone order their coffee while I stared at the Starbucks employees and customers as I pretended to be a dog in an RSPCA advert, but instead of a forever home I just wanted my damn frappachino.
Please enjoy the very accessible Starbucks (and thank you to my partner for getting me said Starbucks) while I was sat exiled up the top of the stairs :)
Happy Easter Friday lmfao
Not meant to be religiously heated!! I respect everyone <3
