You probably didn't realize that it's Disability Pride Month. It doesn't have the recognition of LGBT Pride Month and most folks never hear of it.

But this Disability Pride Month, put some thought into what disabilities might exist or look like in your world writing/game dev/etc.

'Disability doesn't exist' is not an acceptable answer.

@JessMahler Depends on the specific world. One of the stories I want to get back to at some point (space travel with a small crew) has the lead engineer live with chronic pain. One of the key things to deal with the pain (apart from pain killers) is a suit that stabilizes the joints so they can get relief from their joints being all wibbly-wobbly (and it also can be used as walking aid). Yes, this is explicitly based on what I'd like <.<
