Disabled people deserve healthcare, housing, food and support.
They deserve accommodations.
They don’t deserve to be treated as “less than” because they can’t work.
No one’s worth should be tied to productivity.

![Hello Bone Colleagues,
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

The funniest/saddest reaction to this amazing article has been people going "wait, Stellaris has WRITERS?"
Yes folks, if a game has words... someone probably got paid to write them... even if that game isn't an RPG or a visual novel...
