CW: Ableism, step counting, inspiration porn, exercise shaming
This week’s bonus Fix-It Friday post features a tweet from the ever-present prize of workplace wellness programs, Fitbit. Even though the post doesn’t explicitly mention workplace wellness, step counting and exercise shaming are a perennial favorite of programs. Although the woman featured in the tweet doesn’t have a visible disability, the article positions her as extraordinary because she is 85, so I’m going to go ahead and say that this falls into what Stella Young, disability activist extraordinaire, calls inspiration porn. Trust me: just because an 85-year-old does it doesn’t mean you need to do it too.
