@c_j_pascoe I imagine this is apt for higher ed spaces, too.

Let’s think more before we assume everyone has the same relationship to their identities as we do. Having to explain our personal ontologies to people, especially total strangers, can feel like emotional labor.

Hope people can become more mindful about the manifold ways neurodivergence manifests and shapes people’s lives. Normalizing flippant statements about serious conditions perpetuates the erasure of those of us who have to cope with our brains functioning differently.

[Jen Schwartz @prplhazing]

@mentalliberty @Theholisticpsyc (3/3) “We all have a little ADHD in us”, and “everyone is OCD about something” are similar examples of problematic statements. Language like this undermines the journey of neurodivergence and people’s ability to recognize and understand it.

@AutisticCallum_ Same for folks with OCD, PTSD, and/or people-pleasing tendencies

@ThePhDPlace I’d love to get a boring day.

[jules vivid @kittyvividaf]

@Theholisticpsyc And even if you were there, you don’t always know the whole story. What matters is that you know your story and your truth.

[jules vivid @kittyvividaf]

@c_j_pascoe Wow, talk about a lack of social consciousness. It’s shocking how often people fail to realize how much their words matter.

First week in PhD and my cohort and I are already feeling undue pressure. There needs to be better supports in place for 1st years instead of this rites of passage glorification of burn-out culture.

[jules vivid @kittyvividaf]

@AgnesCallard Did I hear something about “sleep”?

[jules vivid @kittyvividaf]

@Catherineoscopy Outrageous.

[jules vivid @kittyvividaf]

@mattxiv I would say that child trafficking and rape are both forms of abuse.

The fact that you don’t get a lollipop or get to pick out a toy after getting a mammogram is a serious design flaw in the process.

@zedonarrival It’s not even a well-written letter.

[jules vivid @kittyvividaf]

@MarioLuisSmall Really appreciate this. Having worked with nonprofits aimed at creating community for people in need, I often saw space being held with and between total strangers.

[jules vivid @kittyvividaf]

Having worked with nonprofits dedicated to creating safe spaces for people to connect in times of need, I know that what people need most are others who can show up, hold space, and validate difficult feelings. Sometimes those people are close ties, sometimes they’re not.

First-year PhDs: this may be one of the most exciting *and* most stressful years of your life. For #SomeoneToTalkTo, we asked 1st year PhD students in lab science, social science, and humanities depts. to describe their biggest stressors: https://t.co/M8UUulIy91 1/7

[jules vivid @kittyvividaf]

Really appreciate this concept of identity safety and its relevance in other social/institutional contexts.

[jules vivid @kittyvividaf]

@mattkmiecik14 @ThePhDPlace 100% !!

[jules vivid @kittyvividaf]

@ThePhDPlace Same with how “suggesting minor edits” feels like a hug

[The PhD Place @ThePhDPlace]

In academia we don’t say ‘I love you’ we say ‘no corrections required’, and I think that’s beautiful.

[GLAAD @glaad]

Governor "Don't Say LGBTQ" DeSantis claims to care about education, but he is making it impossible for LGBTQ students and students of color in Florida to focus on their schooling when they can't even be respected for who they are.
