Want to make a wish? Just ask the Monkey’s Paw! No strings attached.*

Just create a post that starts with “I wish ___”. Other users will then grant you the wish, and probably not how you intended.

It works for all those who are disabled now, but not for any who become disabled in the future. Society lets any progress we've made in accessibility lapse, and the next generation has to fight the last century of battles that the community has won all over again. No ramps, no textured or audible crosswalks, no fluent braille users to learn from, and even less patience and understanding from everyone else.
