Frantz Fanon’s prayer at the end of Black Skin, White Masks: “Oh, my body! Make me always a man who questions” (1986, 206).

To live on a kind of “competence probation” is an everyday reality for many; to be required to continually, repetitively demonstrate capacity.

To crip, like to queer, means to get into the process of unsettling, to make something twisted and strange (McRuer 2018). Cripping denaturalizes the normative culture of compulsory able-bodiedness and able-mindedness and invents new ways to counter intersecting forms of oppression.
