This week on CripTax adventures… when you have after-market hand controls and the vehicle computer, sometimes you take the car to the service center only to find out that you have to take it to the hand control place. So you spend about $600 to just discover you have to take it elsewhere and spend more money.

Hmmm the fact that I can sell my custom calf straps for literally 1/4 of what I paid tilite for my plain black one and still be able to pay myself for my work is very... Frustrating to say the least.
If you cannot afford to build the product with the accessibility included, then you cannot afford to build the product and that is that. It’s exactly the same as not being able to afford to make the product with all elements up to safety and health codes and standards. If you can’t afford to meet the legal standards, then you can’t afford to make the product, and it’s that simple. Accessibility is not an exception to this and it should not be considered as such. It should be just as much an ordinary required part of the design process as any other element, not an extra, shiny, fancy feature that you can just choose not to bother with if it costs a little bit of money. (...) If you can’t afford to create the product fully up to code, standards, and accessibility laws, then you simply can’t afford to make the product. No excuses, no exceptions.
from tumblr user @actuallyblind‘s commentary on this great postÂ
On March 29, 2017 I responded to Sam de Leve's tweets with the hashtag #CripTax. Other folks have used this hashtag before but it revived a discussion of the many material, social, and emotional costs of being disabled. Here's a sample of the wide-ranging conversations so far.

Ivy League Cyborg: December Every winter I have to locate/replace my bike pump so I can swap into snow tires, because sidewalks here aren’t ever cleared. My least favorite Crip Tax is that I have to store my $600 snow wheels in my car all winter, because they’re a hassle to use on dry ground and I can never predict how quickly an area will be plowed.

It never gets easier to give up my legs to strangers

I flew to Buffalo to interview for this amazing new low income housing building. When I got there, they disqualified me within 5 minutes based on information they already had. The system is broken.

I took off with a loose spoke and landed with it bent so badly I had to remove it with pliers.
