annieelainey:So… where are OUR magazine covers? Aside from an enormous lack of visibility and representation for actually disabled people (which is one of the things keeping such deep ableism not only alive, but so common), for me, the most ignorant part about this shoot was that it was about how she was “bound” to fame, “limited” by fame. I am LUCKY to have a wheelchair, even if it’s not the right size, even if it is difficult to push myself because of said fit; wheelchairs are not economically accessible to everyone who needs them as a mobility device. A wheelchair is FREEDOM, not imprisonment. SOCIETY and it’s lack of care for access is what limits me, NOT the chair. -- source link
