@jacobscheier (2/2) and if I respect the disabled of the world and my doctors AND can adjust so that I show up on time for them, why on earth would I not show my friends and other community members respect as well?

[Shea Minter @sheaminter]

@jacobscheier I’m disabled with both an autoimmune condition and adhd and I disagree! Accommodations and anti-ableism is about equality of access and participation. I can’t expect my rheumatologist to hold an appointment for me when I’m late when she has many sick patients (1/2)

[Shea Minter @sheaminter]

Yes, I would in fact like to finish this dissertation chapter. Unfortunately I’m deep in the Oregon City parks and rec website trying to figure out how to obtain ostensibly public records about park shelter reservations that a journalist already uncovered.

Can I put the amount of times I’ve won my March Madness brackets on my CV under “skills”

[Shea Minter @sheaminter]

@JimDMiller @Tyler_Menzer @jbsteinberg @arpitrage I had this experience. But I also had a student health service that when I said “I’m sick and was exposed to mono” then refused to test me for mono. I went home for break to my pcp and it was in fact mono. So your mileage may vary.

[Shea Minter @sheaminter]

@jbsteinberg @arpitrage If they were trained to help adjudicate, or since it was their job they know students and interact with them more.

[Shea Minter @sheaminter]

@jbsteinberg @arpitrage From my past exp both in undergrad and PhD I disagree, I’ve had deans not excuse step throat diagnosed by student health because I “asked for too much time (3 days).”Professors actually cared more because they were teaching. I think this office might lead to less bias (/1)

I’m (slowly) learning Swedish mostly for my research but also secretly because my favorite fiction genre is Nordic Noir and I want to read originals

NYT with some absolute all timers in the category of: “op-Eds you would have written ages ago if you had a semblance of a spine”

If you’re a “progressive” carpetbagging to run in a district you don’t actually live in then I dare say no you aren’t actually progressive

Just got referred to as “chronically ill but scholastically in-the-game”

It really sells it that he fucked up both sentences

[Shea Minter @sheaminter]

@jaj7d We had both and at the time I hated that, but looking back I liked it! I actually got a lot out of studying for comps and viewing the field I hoped to interject in from a zoomed out lens. The paper definitely was crucial too, but I think already has a lot of defenders

[Shea Minter @sheaminter]

Hey guys do we think this is a good or a bad sign

THIS IS WAR.

The grief is still heavy, and weekends like this especially so. But even though the grief never really shrinks, life continues to expand around it

The 10 year anniversary of my dad’s sudden death—ten days before starting college—is tomorrow. Honestly sometimes the fact that I made it this far in my studies feels like a miracle.
