Journeying into the future will require embracing disability—and recognizing its power in our changing world.
My disabled friends can imagine ways that we would be well suited for space or space for us; we can all give different reasons why either our bodies would feel better in space or why our bodies would be superior for space flight or travel. My friend Mallory Kay Nelson is the cleverest here, because she’s well adapted for pooping in space. In case you don’t know, it’s very difficult to poop in space—both in terms of physical properties and engineering-wise.
We need to be wary of technoableism—technology development and marketing that makes it seem like disability is a big, bad thing that needs to be downplayed or eliminated. Most of our supposed experts about disability are nondisabled people, who don’t know what it’s like to be the object of ableism, of design made at you rather than for you, of future imaginings that snuff you out of existence, of scrutiny around every one of your choices, your behavior, and your being.
