ALT Excerpt from Crip Negativity with one passage highlighted by a red rectangle. It reads, “Crip negativity does not oriented toward the future or toward justice or toward measurable material change, but it does allocate us a space-time to collectively more, and how much change is needed. We can’t change the world for the better until we allow ourselves to feel the depth of our grief. It is only from those deaths—dug further still from the multiplicative effect of crip negative communion—that we can even begin to know what change is needed. Crip negativity jars us loose from the world as we know it so that later on we can more conscientiously articulate the world as we want it.”
