Turning Point USA made a literal watch list of professors, primarily women, queer folks and people of color, and made us targets of political violence. I’ve received hate mail and harassment and death threats off and on for nearly a decade in part due to that man’s organization so 🤷🏽‍♀️

Got a lovely Valentine’s Day rejection email this a.m. 💌

I flip-flop almost every week/day/hour between feeling confident and completely out of my league in academia 🙂 #gradschool

A person may use a wheelchair because they cannot stand or walk at all.

A person may use a wheelchair because they cannot walk for long distances.

A person may use a wheelchair because they are recovering.

A person may use a wheelchair due to fatigue.

These reasons are all valid.

I have discovered that it is very hard (but still rewarding) to write a paper about crip time in crip time.

I fear my productivity has maxed out for this semester. Time to be a cozy zombie 🛌🧟‍♀️

Almost a year to the day after I hand-drafted “Artificial Light,” it becomes a Pushcart Prize nominee 🔮
Shock and gratitude!!! Slightly speechless. Thank you Ink and Marrow team 🕯️

Soo I’m in year two of my MA program, studying narratives of chronic illness + disability storytelling.

With my thesis looming on the horizon, I’m desperate for any tips, advice, or support from those in the Humanities who have an MA/PhD. HUGE Bonus if you’re also in the #DisabilityStudies field! 💟
