Rachel Loewen Walker proposes the value of a living present as a resistant feminist practice. Walks notes that a living present doesn't erase the past or undo historical harm, rather it asks us to live in a thick temporality.

Living Present

Price discusses that because Crip Futurity, like Queer Futurity, can reinscribe harm, in discussing time was must recogonize harm as a core aspect of time and be accountable to that harm in how we discuss time.

Crip Futurity, Time and Accountability

Price situates accountability as a component in time that is understudied in looking at not just how disability goes unaccounted for in certain ideas of time, but also how in how we account for our selves, our pasts and our communal pasts within time.

Price proposes that the interaction between time and disability, in particular expectations set around time by academic institutions, can cause harm in various ways and that these harms are rarely perceived by those not experiencing these harms or not until a disaster occurs

Crip Spacetime

Price discusses that despite the fact that in conversations of access we talk a lot about time since time is highly relative with terms used to describe it often being comparative (e.g. immediate, delay, fast, slow) we don't have a meaningful reference or shared metric around time.
