I'm having such big, frustrated feels at the state of inequality in our society around disability and accessibility and how that is making conversations about labor and community building harder and more broken than they need to be.

I just read a pretty great thread about the "chore work" of collectives, and at the end of it was a conversation about "what if the mandatory chore work that I'm supposed to do as a member of the collective is something I can't because of it being inaccessible?"

(Here's the thing that quoted out of context is gonna make my politics look bad.)

In a *perfect* society, no one gets to just take. They must also contribute, something, according to their ability.

Here's the big caveat to that:

We don't live in a perfect society. If we *did*, it would be perfectly accessible and you would never be assigned chore work you couldn't do, even by accident.

I'm just one person, but my general theory of community is this:

If you belong to a community, you invest yourself in that community. Maybe the work that is accessible to you is limited in scope, but no matter who you are, there is *something* you can contribute.
