Anybody have some handy links on why exclusively in-person events are ableist, especially during a pandemic? I don't have the spoons to write or compile.
(Side note: I hate the "spoons" metaphor, but sometimes I don't have the spoons for the extra three syllables in "capacity," and today is one of those days.)
@callisto this is a great essay by Raia Small that gets into it:
"Organizations limit their potential membership when they romanticize pre-pandemic organizing practices, where everything happened in person and those who couldn’t attend due to disability or illness, lack of transportation, a work conflict, or family caregiving duties simply couldn’t participate."
