She/her. Grad student at UConn. Disability Studies, Writing Studies, Mental Illness. I'm a worrier. Always looking for joy and community.
I've been away from bsky for a while. But I needed to come somewhere to say publicly that the world is nightmarish right now as a survivor of CSA which I know so many of us are.

I'm doing another sleep study tonight. We are not supposed to have caffeine after 12:30 so I just chugged a tremendous amount of latte at 12:29. What could possibly go wrong.

Is anyone out there? Say hello if you know me, will you?
I just needed someplace to share. Since I passed my defense, every time I open up my dissertation document I have a minor panic attack.
But I need to do these revisions.

It feels bananas to be writing a dissertation right now in light of world events. But.
Realized yesterday my findings chapter was trying to do TOO MUCH and needed to narrow it down. I found a way to do that & now I'm reinvigorated.
Was up late thinking about it though, so I'm dragging ass today.

It is so surreal right now to be teaching my Gender Studies right now, because students leave class and are immediately bombarded with headlines about politicians who say the EXACT OPPOSITE of their textbook.
I nearly had a panic attack in class today just thinking about it.

Trying to collect info in one place for folks. Things are moving quickly. The multiply marginalized will be disparately impacted, especially BlPOC, immigrant, and/or queer disabled folks. Here's the round up from week 1.

It is so surreal to be writing diversity statements for my job applications while our administration is trying to end diversity initiatives. It is so painful to lesson plan about systemic inequality for students whose lives may soon be at risk just by being themselves.

Yeah and it’s stuff like this that makes me get irritated over “y’all really that mad over an app???” Okay it doesn’t matter to you but people get upset over losing their communities.
TikTok had a massive community of #ActuallyAustistic people, likely the largest autistic community in the world ever. It included all ages and speakers and non-speakers.
It also had a large chronically ill community.
The potential loss of community for many otherwise isolated folks is significant.

Will post this more times as the semester approaches and we enter an era where we will all need to bring full-throated collective care to whatever we are doing

This was my first Christmas without my two oldest cats, Percy and Theodore, pictured in my profile Pic. They were with me for 14 and 16 years. I'm very isolated and don't communicate with a lot of people. (I have a lovely partner tho.) My cats were a huge part of my life. I miss them.

If you’re the kind of person who easily forgets what you’ve accomplished, you need a practice for reminding yourself. Count the years, the finished projects, the progress, the praise, count it all up and use it as evidence against the ever present criticism in your head that you’re not doing enough.

The denial of care is the most evil act of harm, yet also one of the most widely used and accepted. That’s because it is an efficient (ie murderous without the obscenity of physical warfare) way to uphold America’s long held eugenic ideas of “the good state.”
