just a hunch... a wild hunch. but i think maybe the world of research science may not be very accessible. and it actually makes me really fucking angry.
#i feel like i'm the only person who thinks about this in the DEI committee
#i pointed out today that none of our buildings entrances are accessible and the surprise and shock everyone else gave when they realized
#i was right and they had never thought about it before... it was rather disheartening
#i know i am working through ablist biases and worldviews myself but idk
#i have known and do know a lot of disabled people. and the other people in the committee are making a point to include them in the statement
#but it feels like i'm the only person thinking about the physical reality of making our workplace inclusive and accessible
#and i don't really feel like i can go 'hey. you know our coworker who quit not too long ago??? she was clearly neurodivergent'
#'because she was a carbon copy of one of my best friends who is autistic and adhd.... and none of you were nice to her'
#'i listened to all of you talk behind her back and make fun of her so if you want the brownie points of inclusivity maybe start there'
#'also. the entrances to this building aren't accessible and neither is the lab itself really'
#'maybe think about this shit if you want to claim diversity and inclusivity'
#also when they wanted names of unknown/unrepresented scientists to name the rooms after i was the only one who listed a disabled scientist
#(btw everyone should check out Wanda Díaz-Merced. she's very fucking cool)
#i know i'm not great at it. but i feel like i'm the only one even actually thinking about it
#it is a genuine fear of mine that someday i will be disabled in a way that stops me from doing science
#and i want to make sure that doesn't stop other people who already are disabled
#science is amazing and it should be open for everyone
#but if they can't even get inside the building why would they try??
