I'm back on my 2016/2017 bullshit, going to meetings where I get to talk about stuff like color contrasts and what materials it's best to build the bus station out of.

There's a couple ways that being disabled can take you when it comes to interacting with the built environment, and I've leaned into having Opinions and learning stuff. I've seen (terrible slides of) the plans for the new Stockport bus station now! Nobody thinks this is cool but I actually sorta like meetings like this. Even if they're full of people whose favorite mode of transport is the hobby horse.

BTDT! It's amazing how wrong ableds can be on things as simple as how to use a dropped kerb!

+10000.

I've retired from my city commissions so I won't have a chance to deploy this excellent witticism, but I treasure it so much.

I can find these meetings interesting too, although frustrating if advice is subsequently ignored cos design or some other wank.

Hobby horse as a mode of transport should totally be a thing! The more annoying you are, the slower your transport is.

That sounds like thankless and aggravating work for 98% of the time and really good in the 2% of situations where they actually listen to you and do what you want to make the place accessible.
