The exclusive narrative of love that Valentine’s Day promotes is hardly a celebration of the different love we experience. Revival Disability Community (RDC), a community and magazine for and by disabled and queer people, is done with able-bodied and heteronormative preachings of love. They’re reviving love with Crippletines’ Week.

RDC is one of many collectives whose work is radicalising February 14 into an accessible Valentine’s Day. Nu, disability justice author, founder and editor-in-chief, RDC says, “The word ‘cripple’ has been used as a slur against disabled folx [Folx is a variation of ‘folks’ and a collective term to include the LGBTQiA+ community]. But through Crippletines’ Week we want to reclaim the word.”
