    it is also disability pride month but I haven’t seen anyone on lemmy mention that, only this wrath month stuff

    I do like the idea of wrath month being against companies profiting off of pride but I just wish it hadn’t overwritten the disability pride month

      I, for one, am too disabled to get to a pride parade and march. It also doesn’t help that I burst into flames in the sun like a vampire. (Okay, I exaggerate. I go into shock in less than an hour in direct July sunlight. I might be a vampire.)

      At the point that we can augment ourselves with cybernetics to not just mitigate disability but to have transhumanist advantages, we won’t need a pride month so much as a remember the normies ᴀɴᴅ ᴡʜᴀᴛ ᴛʜᴇʏ ᴅɪᴅ ᴛᴏ ᴜꜱ ᴡʜᴇɴ ᴡᴇ ᴡᴇʀᴇ ᴡᴇᴀᴋ month. (Same thing we do every year, Pinky.)

          No, but it might be a matter of finding volunteers. I am terribly embarrassed when I cross someone else’s boundaries without consent. I had to send a stepdaughter into her sister’s room to fetch the house vacuum.
