Simone Biles is a wonder, and I trust & support her to make the best decisions regarding her health. If that means stepping down from competition, then all the more power to her.

Disabled characters falling in love

Families not seeing their disabled child as something to apologize for and getting defensive when other people apologize on their behalf

Mobility aids!! (Including service animals)

The character’s disability being more than a personality trait but less than a burden

Character arcs that involve accepting their disabilities rather than finding ways to fix them

Accessible environments and tools to accommodate characters in their everyday life!!!

Disabled characters being able to hold their own

All the characters standing up to the ableists and giving them what they deserve (they can get their foot rolled over by a wheelchair. As a treat)

Cool ways disabilities are incorporated into fantasy/sci-fi genres!!

The other characters asking disabled friend if they want help instead of assuming they need it

Let! Them! Have! Hyperfixations!

Disabled characters facing and overcoming challenges without their disability being undervalued

Disabled people being able to get together and kvetch and share stories and swap tips and work together

Disabled people gathering in communities because they have similar needs (eg. Deaf people wanting to live with people who use Sign)

Characters having disabled role models and mentors who teach them about living with a disability

Fantasy societies having a social role that isn’t just “useless cripple” so people who become disabled can imagine what possibilities are open to them

Also

People with disabilities in happy, loving relationships

People with disabilities who aren’t full of doubt and self-loathing about their attractiveness and lovability, but instead are able to pursue romance with a relative amount of confidence and enjoyment. (The opposite is super valid, but I’d like some variety.)

Family planning options for characters whose disabilities include fertility issues.

Wanting a cure vs accepting one’s condition not being an either/or thing. In real life it can be more like, “Gee, I sure would like to not intermittently feel like I just got punched in the gut and set on fire, but a cure probably won’t happen in my lifetime, so here’s what i need in lieu of one in order to be semifunctional.”

Sex positions not being treated like personality traits.

Nonverbal safewords.

Disfigured characters who are framed as beautiful.

One: A star athlete (or rock musician, actor, or some such) going in for emergency surgery, and coming out disabled – and that being treated as a happy ending – because they did not die. And showing them continue their career in some way, during the end credits (star athlete becoming a star coach or manager, if need be)

Two: A character starts out disabled, and longs, and works hard, for a cure, and becomes cured – and that being the sad story, because they lost something or someone else along the way, that they now realize was more important.

Three: A disabled character struggles with their disability (pain, fatigue, limitations, etc.), and would like a cure,  but still has a relatively happy life, and has other goals they strive for and attain (moving house, writing their masterpiece, coaching their team to the Championship [sea One]).

Leah: They're cute

Kim: I'd put them on a boat

Leah: You mean you ship them?

It ain't just She'Carri Richardson

“My sister couldn’t find him for 2 hours”

Hummingbird nest with rain protection

If you really want to give them some peace of mind, offer to rent them a storage locker for a few days so they can rest easy in cooler, less oppressive temps without losing everything they have left.

have you ever looked up into the night sky and wondered, why the moon is?

well, you're not alone! scientists and learnéd scholars across the ages have been baffled by our celestial neighbor.

WHY, is our Moon so proportionally fucking huge? (it's more than a quarter the size of the Earth! that's COMPLETELY FUCKING INSANE AND BLOWS EVERY OTHER MOON IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM OUT OF THE METAPHORICAL WATER)

WHY, is the Moon made up of much of the same materials as the Earth?

and WHY, is Earth's magnetic field so massively overpowered that it can shield the surface from interstellar and solar radiation, allowing life to develop and paving the way for you to even ask these questions in the first place? (that one might not sound related, but I promise you it is so just bear with me)

well, it all comes down to the Theia Impact Hypothesis, or, OPERATION MOON BOOM.

in this fair solar system we lay our scene, four and a half billion years ago.

here, we focus on the third planet from the sun, which is, surprisingly, NOT Earth.

not yet.

no, this unnamed rocky world is slightly smaller than Venus, and is formed of mostly-molten rock that's still settling into itself as our nascent solar system sorts itself out.

ENTER STAGE LEFT, THEIA.

Theia is a rocky planetoid about the size of Mars, on a wild and unstable orbit around the Sun that regularly brings it within spitting distance of our unnamed third rock! and today, it will get A Bit Too Close.

the two planets slam into each other with wild disregard for road safety, disintegrating their outer layers into a massive debris field that will take hundreds of millions of years to settle and fusing their planetary cores together into a single rough oblong of molten iron! BAM! WHAPPO!

but settle the debris does, as gravity takes a gentle but firm hold of this huge mess and gradually reshapes it into two familiar faces...

ENTER STAGE RIGHT: EARTH AND MOON.

that's right, you're standing on top of the alchemically-fused corpses of, not one, but TWO planets right now! our newly-reborn Earth and its singular orbiting satellite are formed from the same debris field and share a lot of similar material. and because the Moon was Made, and not a domesticated planetoid that wandered too close and got trapped in the orbit of a larger body, it's just ludicrously HUGE compared to its partner.

and getting back to that magnetic field thing, the whole reason Earth Can Have Big Field Pls is because Theia dumped so much extra iron into the Core that it generates a MUCH more powerful field than our neighboring planets, even the ones that are just slightly smaller than Earth!

the only reason that life can exist at all is because Theia took one for the team and reshaped the solar system.
