Hey @amtrakcascades it was pretty uncool of your conductor at SEA for train 517 to Portland to make me move from an accessible seat because I was "in the wrong car." There are no accessible seats the next two cars down.

Side note to the passengers - you kind of suck morally if you see a disabled person struggling to move through the train with their assistive device that barely fits down the aisle and you don't move or offer to move from the seats that are clearly reserved for disabled people?!?

Just generally on this trip, I've been mortified by the indifference and inattention of people moving through public spaces.

If you want to try something new this Thanksgiving, start practicing those recipes now. Don’t wait until Thanksgiving. Don’t do your people like that. I say this as an overachiever who often cooks Thanksgiving dinner and wants to try a new stuffed mushroom recipe for appetizers.

Everyone, at some point, will either need, receive, or provide care. Whether childcare, aging care, or disability care, CARE affects everyone — & the fact that care is seen as an individual issue & not an economic necessity is wild. (+ care workers are underpaid and overworked.)

Most policy problems would be fixed if disabled people were prioritized.

If you are one major illness or emergency away from everything falling apart? You are in fact poor. And I don't know why I have so many people in my mentions pretending otherwise

An astonishing number of people want to argue that not being able to afford housing and food isn't poverty and I am certain we need that asteroid today

Whether this is satire or not, you will inevitably receive advice like this. Do the opposite. Keep at least one day to yourself. Build community within & outside your department. You are still a whole person while pursuing your degree.
Grad Students: Classes are starting. Make a calendar NOW for Sundays. So when other students ask you to go hike or brunch, just laugh and walk away. You’re here to work. You’re here to study. Make friends and dialogue with texts, with theorists, with ideas. Forget the rest.
