able bodied people’s idea of wheelchair accessibility is laughable at best. listen. 

  • if a wheelchair user has to go around to a back alley to get into your venue–it should not be called accessible 
  • if your venue doesn’t have automatic doors–it should not be called accessible 
  • if your venue’s washrooms are down a narrow hall that is difficult to navigate–it should not be called accessible 
  • if your venue’s floorplan doesn’t factor in space for wheelchairs–it should not be called accessible 
  • if your venue has steps leading in, or at any point inside, and no ramp is readily available–it should not be called accessible 

and that’s just 5 points from my foggy brain on wheelchair accessibility. they miss so many things and lose more potential customers than they realize and it’s ridiculous bc it would take 10 seconds of thought, but they can’t even give that. 

If your door is super heavy and only swings one way your venue is not accessible

in other news, we swapped my bed to the big one in the main area instead of the tiny bunk thing in the “bedroom” and WHOA. ADULT HUMAN SIZED BED for the first time in a year. I didn’t realize how stressful that was.

apparently TV risers that are 30″-40″ long do not exist?
I need one that is lonnnnng because while I don’t have a giant TV, it is 29″ from one stand foot thingy to the other. Yes, there are feet on BOTH ends of the darn thing.

it also can’t be narrower than 6″, wider than 14″, or much higher than 8″
