I started reading this book of stories by disabled people collected and edited by Alice Wong! I have been listening to the audiobook! It brings up so many "new," contemporary views on disability and what accommodation means to many different types of people. I am already about half way through and it has gotten me to think about what access means to me and the issues that are in place in the world as we know it.
For chronically ill people in particular, this can sometimes look like the discrimination or blatant disregard for chronic illness and pain. Women often aren't believed, and people of color believed even less. Amazing read/listen. I highly recommend! Project and Website by Alice Wong: https://disabilityvisibilityproject.com/
