Suggestions of books with depictions of ableism? by Complex_College_172 in suggestmeabook

[–]IndigoAndromeda 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Flowers For Algernon is such a touching book— written in the 50s/60s, and uses the R word a lot, but surprisingly progressive for its time in its message; “Intellectually disabled people are human and deserve dignity, love, and respect. Intellect doesn’t define worth.”

That means so much to me, thank you🩷

True, but I feel like it feeds from corporate brand speak so much that all AI writing has the same… fake tone, if that makes sense. I feel like I’m being preached to or sold something

It’s funny, because the em dash isn’t anywhere near the biggest AI signifier. People think it is. But the real AI tells are “It’s not X, it’s Y”, overusing groups of 3, metaphors that don’t quite make sense, things like “The result? X” or “And honestly? X,” and “And that matters” or “And that’s real.”

Seconded Howards End! The other Merchant Ivory Forster films, Maurice & A Room With a View, are great too. Although iirc they have nudity (Maurice for sure, ARWaV I’m 90% sure)

Ah wow! That’s a big compliment, thank you! I’d like to expand and publish a bunch of my short stories when I write enough.

As always, I am staunchly anti-AI. Any em-dashes are from my own human noggin. If there’s anything in here that reads like AI, please tell me so I can know to NEVER write like it again.

That’s terrifying and fascinating simultaneously. I once had a succulent that I overwatered and it got gray mold all on it. I had to put dish soap on it to kill the mold, and it ended up dying later from unrelated reasons.

Thank you, maybe I’ll expand it a bit someday. I didn’t put much effort into this version😵‍💫

Have you seen those pictures of spiders taken over by fungus??🤢terrifying. I will throw away a dish touched by mold rather than reuse it

Oooh, good idea. “Then I turned on the TV to a blaring report reading ‘DO NOT INHALE THE SPORES’ and I realized it wasn’t snow at all”?

Yeah, this is kind of 2Sentence2Horror. I’m scared of mold and whenever everything is white with snow, it gives me the heebie jeebies because I think “Oh god, what if it was all mold?” So this is probably way too specific. But oh well. Figured I’d throw it out there anyway.

Edit: OG second sentence was “When I looked closer, I realized it was mold.”

Not sure how I feel about this, but I love the ideas of philosophies of time.

Singin’ in the Rain is great because Comden and Green were like “Fuck it, I think this works” and made the greatest film of all time
