Crip Time Wrapped

I could go on about the disabled experience and how much of our energy and time is spent meeting the bare minimum of daily living, including the extra time spent performing tasks needed for our unique situations. It takes a lot for us to show up but the complexity and visibility of labour aren’t transparent to the public.

Our patience is truly unmatched. We experience time and space differently than able-bodied people do but there is more to life than just existing and getting by—we deserve to live life fully.

The Accessibility for Ontarians With Disabilities Act (AODA) was enacted almost 20 years ago to develop, implement, and enforce standards of #accessibility related to goods, services, facilities, employment, accommodation and buildings; the goal is to get the province fully accessible by 2025. We’re nowhere near that and we’re soon entering 2024. We still have a long way to go.
