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.)

Have you tried drinking human blood to strengthen yourself to withstand the light longer?

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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.

You should try to get to your local hospital and do volunteer work for blood donations. Maybe they will also donate something for you.
