Colorful bingo card titled “Dykes for Accessible Drinking” The description reads, “Are you queer, cute, and disabled? Tired of Pride being inaccessible? Don’t get sad! Play Inaccessibility Bingo and commiserate with other crips online. Circle all the access barriers you encounter at your favorite events and venues this Pride and post on social media #DykesforAccessibleDrinking. If you’re feeling spicy, tag the inaccessible event or venue.”
The card has a blue field of color at the top, with pink decorative shapes in the margins. There is a five-by-five bingo grid over a bright turquoise background. The first row of squares reads, “‘Wheelchair accessible’ but there is 1 step; Bartender can’t see you because the counter is too high; Slippery floor; Atmosphere is sensory nightmare; No COVID precautions.”
Second row reads, “‘What’s your disability?’; The bathroom isn’t ADA compliant; ‘I can speak loud, I don’t need a microphone’; ‘This building is very old’; No seating.”
Third row reads, “Only hightop tables; Please request 2 weeks in advance; You don’t look disabled; Abled stares; Nobody outside your friend group socialized with you.”
Fourth row reads, “‘Not in the budget’; No access info on webpage; No audio description; ‘That’s not a service animal’; ‘Well nobody disabled has complained before.’”
Fifth row reads, “Asks for free access advice; No hybrid options; Strobe lights; Segregated access area; Getting trapped in crowded area.”
