And also, it's not that mysterious. The population is ageing, a lot of people who would've once felt confined to home/at least the UK by their disability/frailty no longer feel they are (good!) and the people with money to travel are pensioners!

My older brother is very ill. My husband is a dual Mexican/US citizen, the latter for almost 50 Yrs. I can’t travel without him b/c of my disability. I WILL NOT risk him going to the US. I will never see my brother again. FUCK TRUMP.

Here you go. Much like disability care, aged care in the family home involves paying people to help. That involves specialised training, travel to and from clients, and increased reporting. So all those cost savings achieved by keeping people living at home actually end up being increased costs.

This was also my first painting about chronic illness and disability! The disabilities I had started really showing their impact in my whole life and, as someone who wanted to travel a lot, I realized most of my travels would need to be through art.

I am just so tired of death and disability having been a socially accepted price of travel. I'm glad there's finally starting to be some pushback.

Thanks hun! It was an awful travel day with missed flights, new flights, arguments with agents about my disability and service dog needs, and one “plane” was a bus. It was absolutely ridiculous. I ended up in tears in Dallas. I got rerouted there. I hate Texas!
I’ll happily take Argents drinks!

We also find that those from other countries within the common travel area are consistently found to be living shorter lives and have higher disability.

So much this. Right now I live and travel full-time in my RV chasing weather that makes me more able. I lost my home in the waiting period for disability. I have a very short window to get to see the beauty of this country before I am no longer able. My RV has a number of accommodations…

Crip time is time travel. Disability and illness have the power to extract us from linear, progressive time with its normative life stages and cast us into a wormhole of backward and forward acceleration, jerky stops and starts, tedious intervals and abrupt endings.
Six Ways of Looking at Crip Time
In this creative nonfiction essay, the author reflects on how 'crip time' has operated in their life, not only as a form of liberation, but also as a site of loss and alienation.

Thats wild. It was so hard for me to get registered at the disability center in my MFA because they required an assessment from a doctor that had been treating me for one year minimum. Which mean I had to travel from Toronto to see my doctor in Montreal multiple times for him to fill paperwork.

I have constant pain from it, cannot make any long term plans, cannot travel or eat almost anything like a normal person and am constantly exhausted. But all because it involves my bowels and the bathroom it has to be hidden, and I have to avoid telling people because my disability is “TMI”

Accessible design makes travel better for everyone. For disabled people, it's essential. From working lifts to accessible loos, without it we are locked out of everyday life. That's why we need accessible transport everywhere, so no-one is left behind.

My travel plans were rearranged by a scintillating scotoma today. Sending my fellow migraineurs sympathy & acknowledgment for all the events, meetings, vacations, gatherings, games, concerts, holidays, etc that have been spontaneously rearranged by a migraine attack. It takes a toll. #disability
