Cripping

Practices or actions taken by disabled people to disrupt the status quo, flip ableist norms, and work toward a more accessible and just world. Cripping can involve material changes (hacking environments and technologies), social changes (challenging assumptions about what disabled people can do), or ideological changes (questioning systems that frame some bodies as normal and others as deviant). In technology, cripping might mean building a screen reader that refuses to simplify interfaces for blind users, or designing an app that shifts the burden of accessibility from disabled individuals to businesses and institutions. Cripping is transformative — it "lives in the now and the future" and aims to change both immediate access and long-term structures.
