they gotta make chronic academia a thing... like dark academia but youre wearing braces on every joint and you live off coffee and you wanna read but you just got a migraine so instead you lay in the dark snd ponder as you fight through the pain and nausea.

i'm sorry i'm not being fun enough on my personal blog which is the only place on the internet i get to just be a person and not have to be professional because it's the only place my colleagues and employers don't follow me but also i'm not sorry because sometimes being grumpy is part of being human and i'm so goddamn tired of having to perform perfection on the internet

#personal #like. yeah. on a good day i would have given a longer and more thoughtful response to the arthuriana ask #but also sometimes you hit a point where you're like. i've said this. i've written this post. it's in the tag already #i don't know what more people want from me that i haven't already given. i can't keep writing the same essays again #i'm not mad at the asker but i also can't do Free Academia On Demand at all times you know? #particularly when arthuriana isn't even my area of research specialism #i am pretty much always happy to answer ulster cycle asks because i always learn something from researching the answers #(or i already know the answers so they're very easy) #but stuff outside of that just feels like work after a while and sometimes i do not have the spoons #i am very glad of cicelythereaper's response. i recommend reading that one. #i'm sorry i couldn't be the one to give it on this occasion but lads. i am so fucking tired #i have so many jobs i have so many chronic illnesses i am so behind on everything in my life

If you can, please help me out!

Hello!

I am trying to raise money for a service dog! If you have even a dollar or two to donate it helps so so so much! If you can't donate that's absolutely fine! You can still help me out by reblogging this and spreading the word!

Love you all <3

Zoo

I walk smiling along side him, 

Trying my hardest not to seem cross in any way.

“Hun you’re limping again” he says his voice calm and concerned.

I shake my head, trying to make our way to the next exhibit,

Walking the winding paths and gawking at the animals never hurt this much.

His hand reaches for mine, as if I were a child again as he slows my pace.

He grounds me in reality, as we find a bench to sit at.

“He’s being lazy”, a woman says too her child 

The girl staring out at the creature basking in the sun, 

I don’t want to interrupt her, 

But the sign beside her states that the tiger is getting older.

But I decline, because as I sit in the sun staring at the girl and the large cat.

I see myself in both,

Someone filled with wonder and wanting to experience it all, and the reality that I can’t.

I'm exhausted and angry about having to constantly deal with a high ranking faculty member at my college who is constantly dismissive. It seems that they are a very by-the-book person, but sometimes to accommodate disabled people you have to honor intent of the law over letter of the law.

I have my own insecurities, but if I feel constantly dismissed and belittled by our every interaction, your ableism is probably showing.

ASKING FOR OPINION/TIPS/SUGGESTIONS/SUPPORT:

Okay, I am planning to go back to academia for postgrad after maybe 5-6 years of leaving uni life?

How true is it when they said:

“Just be yourself when you write your personal statement!”

“the admission officer want to get to know you as a person when they are reading your application”

when writing personal statement for university application for a neurodivergent who’s planning to apply for inclusion/disability studies ?

(I’m AuDHD so I have no idea how literal I have to take these statements and whether I should take it at face value or if this is about performing acceptable amount of true self again)

I’ve read about the rank of this university and how great they are at providing support and alternative learning style, which is partly what interests me, but I still worry about being discriminated if I reveal about my disability as a part of my motivation to apply for study.

Please help!

I need opinion, suggestions, tips and support in any kindest and supportive ways you can offer now.

Thank you!

It’s week 4 and I’ve got no classes due to public holidays, though I still have an assignment to work on.

I’m kinda grateful for this break in classes. Going into campus take a lot of energy and this gives me a bit of a breather.
