Why Don’t You Just

October 19, 2023

We don't all have the same 24 hours in a day. People who say such things have no sense of their own privilege and don't understand the concept of people having different realities.

I think there is a lot of unrealized privilege when it comes to books and reading. Having the time to read, the ability to read, the neuro-ability to consume pages upon pages of text … these are not always available to every person. There are many ways that people can engage with art these days … and many ways that are more accessible to people with specialized needs. It’s very privileged to suggest there is only one way to engage with things or that everyone can have the same experience.
