Here’s some examples awkward accessibility being a thing:
Your at a hotel that has a lift to get you from one sub-floor to another, but the lift can only be unlocked and operated by one specific person that the hotel now has to go find. Sure, they’ve made the entrance to the sub-floor is accessible, but now it’s a thing.
The buses are wheelchair accessible but the driver has to stop the bus, take 30 seconds to lower the goddamn ramp, move passengers out of their seats, hook up the straps and then secure you in the bus. Sure, they’ve made the busses accessible but now it’s a thing.
The restaurant has an accessible entrance, but it’s past the trash room and through the kitchen. Sure, the restaurant is accessible, but now it’s an insulting thing.
Here’s some great examples of accessibility not being a thing:
The train to the airport pulls up flush with the platform. I board with everyone else and sit wherever the fuck I want. Riding the train is accessible and not a thing.
In Portland, I press a button the side of the streetcar and a ramp automatically extends at the same time the door opens. I board in the same amount of time as everyone else. This is not a thing.
I get that it is difficult to design for wheelchair accessibility, but folks need to start considering the overall quality of the experience versus just thinking about meeting the minimum requirements.
For the love of all things holy please pay attention to this
This is why universal design is so important. I had a great class that focuses on applying universal design aspects of architecture into teaching. Accessibility ideally should be integral to the design in the first place, not added on as an after thought.
THIS IS A REALLY FUCKING EXCITING THING, BUT OF COURSE NOBODY SEEMS TO GIVE ENOUGH OF A FUCK ABOUT MESOPOTAMIAN SHIT TO ACTUALLY REPORT THIS ANYWHERE SOMEONE MIGHT SEE IT.
IT’S REALLY FUCKING COOL. TRUST US.
yesssssss
and I guess this makes the Gilgamesh fandom the winner in the contest of who had the longest time between updates…
Okay, are we seriously not going to talk about this majestic af robe from Iron Man 2? Y’all disappoint me.
Hmmm guys, can I make a few additions?
“After months in hell I still look fine as fuck”
“I look soft but I’m Vengeful Prepare To Feel My Wrath”
“I know I’m a delight and you feel honored to be in my presence. You’re welcome.”
“I’m wearing a Black Sabbath shirt because, you know, Iron Man”
“I’m wearing a suit because I am a Serious Billionaire Business Man but also a silly shirt because I Don’t Like Rules and sunglasses to hide im heartbroken”
“I Am supposed to be A Responsible Adult And You’re Grounded Young Man”
Anyway no one can lose this argument because we’re all winning.
I know one of y’all put him dressed in this and it looking all nice and put together like it’s worth a few million dollars or something BUT CAN WE ALSO POINT OUT HOW GOOD HE LOOKS WITH EVERYTHING LOOSENED??? Homeboy is looking like a goddamn snackmealbuffet in that outfit hot damn.
