Norming Access, s. e.smith →
“Inaccessibility is the norm, right now. It’s assumed that all spaces are inaccessible until proven otherwise because this is usually the case. In fact, the reverse should be true; it should be highly abnormal for a space to be inaccessible, and it should be extremely unusual for someone to have an accommodation need that isn’t covered in routine site preparation.”

1. Thou shalt adhere to the time limit
You’d think this one would be easy,
but some people just don’t seem to care.
Or they get caught in the moment,
or trapped in the glare-
like a rabbit
in headlights.
2. Thou shalt perform… something.
Something like a poem.[1]
(Whether swaggering, staggering, strutting your stuff,
owning the stage, your
staccato statements...

What the Dragon Said: A Love Story, by Catherynne...
“What the Dragon Said: A Love Story”
So this guy walks into a dragon’s lair
and he says
why the long tale?
HAR HAR BUDDY
says the dragon
FUCK YOU.
The dragon’s a classic
the ‘57 Chevy of existential chthonic threats

Barrow full of rocks? said the yellow paper.
That’s just my name for it, said Word. A pneumatic.
