    That conflating comment… I mean, that just feels like the cherry on top of living in an ableist world. Little reminders all the time that spaces aren’t for you, that you weren’t even on anyone’s mind when things were designed or planned. Grinds me down. But your last panel gives me life—thinking of any of this as a zero sum game is so unnecessary <3
