Late response but yes! I care less about the colloquial use of the term reading and more about folks talking about redefining literacy! I agree with you completely

I don’t have new obsessions. I’m stuck here and that’s alright. The Holy Spirit will tell me when we’re done making. The muse will move when it's ready.

I’ve been obsessed with the same things for a long time. Matrilineage. Daughterhood. Theology. Mysticism and metaphysical location. The more I create toward these subjects, the more I have to say. I don’t seem to be running out of thoughts, creations, or capacity for making.

Surely, I should have moved on by now? Shout out to Kendrick for reminding me that I can explore an idea, conviction, feeling as deep as it goes and for as long as it sustains me.

!!! This convo started because folks were acting super elitist about reading vs. listening to audiobooks. I really understand wanting to expand the definition to avoid ableism and stigma. We can talk about the issues with elitism without redefining literacy.

It doesn’t mean they can walk. Their disability prevents them from walking because walking requires the use of your legs. They are able to move from point a to point b but their disability changes how that happens. I don’t think that accessibility requires that we change the definitions of things.

I’ll also toss in that many blind or visually impaired folks read braille which is reading. I think my argument is that disability doesn’t change the function of the word. I have a family member who is disabled and is unable to walk so they use a wheelchair. The wheelchair allows them to move but
