#crip and #disabled lives inherehently challenge the idea of the frictionless. We learn how to deal with the friction of our bodyminds, because we can't avoid it. Searches for cures, healing, wellness, all of these are in service to capitalist productivity. Productivity which is a frictionless as possibile - maximum production at all costs - work longer hors, multiple jobs, the economy must constantly grow. There must be constant activity [2/?]

Even the defining principles of activism is to 'do'. and to reduce the friction and limitation/increase visibility and induce change about a given issue.

Yet a lot of direct action *involves* adding friction to the system you want to change, until it breaks - lock on, sit ins, other kinds of direct action its not wise to talk about online. Traditional social media's 'strength' has been virality's ability to connect [3/?]

But what I'm wondering is, what if the friction experienced by #disabled and #crip lives gives us a fundamental insight into how to exist and prosper under conditions of maximum human friction - where we know that it's the *quality* not *quantity* of how we exist and what we do that's the important bit - under conditions of slowness we manage to maximise despite the impssibility of speed which we are taught to desire.
