I find this essay beautiful in a way I find difficult to describe. It’s a sort of ‘Zen and the Art of Picture Framing’, I guess. But more personal, more lyrical. I love this genre of personal essay combining memoir with vividly material reflection on the smaller or more obscure parts of life and work. Found via a 2024 year-end top 10 list by the Electric Typewriter.

A reflection on work and life with an unreliable and unpredictable body. The concept of ‘crip time’ is a great counterpoint to typical approaches to time and planning, clarifying that and how these create inaccessibility for differently abled people.
