Accessibility is not an excuse.

Accessibility is not an excuse. For some backstory: I was at lunch with my parents when they told me I could do classes online but would most likely have to pay for it to which I said, "I would have to do some checking to make sure the platform was accessible." My dad then said one of the worst things anyone could ever say, family or not. "Oh, there's always an excuse." Accessibility. is. not. an excuse. It might seem like it to someone who might not have to think about something like that, but this attitude is disgusting. Accessibility comes in many forms, and having to think about whether something is going to be accessible or not is so goddamn tiring and I don't like that thought being the first thing I say, but also, that's a reality I have to accept. Again I'll say, accessibility, no matter what form you're thinking about is no excuse. After this interaction, I'm left with -1 spoons and a desire to do nothing else for the day.
