    Crip Time 
    - A flexible standard for punctuality, as an accommodation for a person with a disability

    - Crip time is flex time not just expanded but exploded; it requires reimagining our notions of what can and should happen in time, or recognizing how expectations of “how long things take” are based on very particular minds and bodies.
    (Alison Kafer)

    - “Crip time means listening to the broken languages of our bodies, translating them, honouring their words. - Ellen Samuels”

    I am only interested in the intersection of disability with race, queerness, and liberation work. I approach health justice as a process of healing from the dehumanising effects of colonization, imperialism, state-sanctioned violence, and structural oppression.
