I've wanted to write something about academic accommodations for a while, and in the absence of other inspiration, I'm just going to put it here.

I have a few points to make but first a bit of context about me. I'm profoundly deaf in my right ear. Basically can't hear anything in it. 1/

I find myself increasingly wondering how able bodied people appear to believe that being disabled is"easy."
Getting accommodations in school, uni and/or work: easy, a breeze, even!
Getting a doctor to write you a certificate supporting your needs: EASY!
Working from home: EASY!

I don’t follow Sarah Kendzior or subscribe to her Substack (because Substack) and I think her suspension is silly but honestly I care more that her suspension was temporary while Link’s was permanent

Massively ironic that we are at a point where I am cheering on my House representative as she opposes the bill to reopen the government
Became a naturalized citizen on the first day of the shutdown. Still experiencing taxation without representation smh

These days my favorite genre of movie is ones where Michael Shannon knows exactly what to do for his family, does it despite others having doubts, and is proven correct in the end, like Midnight Special, or Take Shelter

Very minor point that has bugged me lately: if you mean unbothered, it's unfazed, not unphased
