hello this is SOOO fun omg, everyone like this post

the first avenue of praxis is letting people piss

as someone who works in hospitality I can tell you the amount policing of bathroom access in restaurants etc., is balls to the wall insane. I refuse to enforce the “customer only” bathroom policy because conditions like urinary/bowel IBD, colitis and Crohns exist, because diabetics might not feel like injecting in the middle of the restaurant floor, and quite frankly because being mentally well, housed and sober is not a prerequisite to being allowed to take a leak. “b-but crack addicts could blow up your bathroom!” buddy, paying customers already do on a regular basis. people have any number of reasons for difficulty with relieving themselves, I don’t know what to tell you — it’s not my place to judge them, or to make a basic necessity more complex than it needs to be. things can be cleaned. “b-but shit on the floor!” don’t get me wrong, it is not pleasant to deal with but see above as to why I don’t care. also like. I have biohazard mediation training. accidents happen, people have health issues, people have coordination difficulties, whatever. after the biohazards can be remediated surfaces get sanitised, whoopty fuckin hoo, everyone carries on with their day. if you truly, actually care about a egalitarian society where everyone has access, the first step is killing the bathroom cop that lives in your mind/workplace policy. It’s only a first step, and it is by no means the only step you should take, but “I think people should be able to piss in dignity regardless of their sobriety, housing status, economic status, and level of physical ability” is a pretty simple litmus test of how prepared you are to actually walk the walk, all things considered.

"am i being too much" are you aware i'd unzip my skin and make room for you in there
