Rest here if you agree

Thinking once again about Finnegan Shannon’s perfect art benches.

Photo of a blue bench with white hand lettering that says "It was hard to get here. Rest here if you agree."

Re:

Fediverse post from Quixoticgeek (@quixoticgeek@v.st) My train journey starts with another accessibility rant (sorry, I've got an hour on a train and I didn't bring a book). Time to talk about something few think of as an accessibility aid Benches Most people take for granted that they can stand for half an hour or an hour to wait for a train. But for a surprisingly high number of people. Standing for even a few minutes can be agony. There people might not look like they need accessibility aids. But not being able to sit can be a problem 1/n
