Sounds intriguing! Elizabeth Bear's nuanced take on disability in sci-fi is refreshing. “A powerful tool is not a solution, but a partnership.” Any favorite moments from the book? 🪐📚 #SciFi #DisabilityRepresentation
“Machine” by Elizabeth Bear (science fiction) may not be quite what you’re looking for, but it has a disabled protagonist who is kickass, with an amazing assistive device that nonetheless has to be managed and negotiated and isn’t a magic fix. Not about empire per se, but still about empire really.

Spooky season book time!
Guys this books was a super good read. I particularly love the authors comments on those with disabilities and how they are often left behind in an emergency.

THIS JUST IN... Daniel Day-Lewis wouldn’t make #MyLeftFoot today. Admits #disabled people told him not to. “A flimsy justification for something I just wanted to do.”
Signs of progress.

People with disabilities or who are neurodivergent appear in 10% of all banned books. Silencing these stories means erasing representation.
Every time we read, we push back against these efforts.

You know would be cool? If there was a deaf cartoon snake character that did sign language with their tail for both disability representation and the fact that snakes are deaf in real life. #ideas #cartoons #snakes #disabilityrepresentation #furry #furries #furryfandom

Seeing characters like Marlee Matlin’s Joey Lucas in “The West Wing” break barriers and challenge the narrative shows audiences that disability and professional excellence are not mutually exclusive.

I've been reading more up on birth defects and other issues that can contribute to people not being able to walk. And I've determined that Melonie most likely has spastic diplegia cerebral palsy.
