nothing like going to new places to realize how fucking inaccesible everywhere is. i go in and think “could i have opened these doors if i were in a wheelchair?” and “i went up 2 steps to get here— do they have a ramp somewhere else?” I follow the signs to where i need to be and think “would i have known where to go if i were blind?” I am given an informational talk and wonder, “what would happen if i were deaf? would they have an interpreter or would i need to bring someone with me?” They tell me most people walk or bike around this place, it’s only 10-15 minutes, and i think “what if i had chronic pain? what if walking hurt me?”
in short, the world we live in is designed for a very specific type of person and everyone needs to get angrier about that NOW.
