I’m a blind journalist publishing on Substack. A blind reader using a screen reader couldn’t access my article—about accessibility—because Substack itself isn’t reliably accessible.
That contradiction isn’t ironic. It’s structural failure.

I just published a new article: Disability Under Capitalism
Accessibility is treated as a luxury instead of a right — and that’s not accidental.
This piece looks at how capitalism structurally fails disabled people, especially around work, housing, and transit.

I published a new essay: The Mountains That Remember.
It’s about Appalachia, labor, disability, and what it means to live in a place shaped by extraction and abandonment — while the people who live here are still expected to survive without support.
