More than anything, the panic about "OHNOES TOO MUCH ACCOMMODATIONS" is akin (not the same, but parallel) to worrying about "boys in girls' sports," using a handful of accusations about "cheating" to justify bigotry and creating suspicion around a whole class of marginalized people.

The accommodations conversation is especially maddening during a stretch where I'm supporting a bunch of students who didn't know how to ask for help in advance and all they're ever asking for is some time and consideration that they are people and not studenting machines

I need a megaphone to yell "ACCOMMODATIONS DO NOT DIMINISH RIGOR"
I need a sign to tap that says something along the lines of "Accommodations do not diminish rigor."
*tapping the sign while muttering something about pedagogy*

We need to be able to see that the line "accommodations have gone too far" is an expression of the ableist notion that disabled students do not belong in higher ed. Its fundamentally an anxiety about the fact that disabled students get an "advantage" over abled students.

the younger kid has begun using "jeeze louise" as a statement of earnest exasperation and it's the funniest thing and it makes her so mad when I can't take it seriously

Only four books last month, and that includes two novellas and a story collection. I had to take a break after starting Your Name Here because my brain was not working on its level, but reading Wool as a warm-up worked nicely. Also, I'm gonna re-read some Temeraire soon

of all the good things to thank our trans pals for, the one I most appreciate is how seeing someone mention HRT on my timeline always reminds me right when I need to remember to take my own HRT, prescribed for my old-ass cis body to continue working.

wait, you're telling thinking about nothing but The Task for ever and ever and then you can't do it because it's the hardest task ever is *not* typical?
It's hard to get neurotypicals to understand "I didn't do the task because I was so intensely aware of the need to do this that my brain built a wall around the concept of doing it", so we just say "I didn't do the task because I forgot."
