Just thinking about how profs who don't allow for late work without penalty are inherently classist and ableist. Idk something about someone teaching left wing politics and getting mad that my assignments are late when I work full time and have an LD is a BIT RICH

Abled folks ask how they can be allies to disabled people.
One way is to not overwork.
Abled academics who work 12 hour days contribute to a toxic culture of overwork that results in disabled people having to work even harder to keep up.
We all need rest.

In grad school, I learned how to critique and tear arguments apart. In some seminars, that was how folks demonstrate "smartness." I wish instead that grad school would give us more opportunities to imagine, to collaborate, and to build and rebuild, albeit all the imperfection.

Rae Spoon needs help! Rae’s music has been the soundtrack to so many moments in my life for more than a decade—an absolute icon of Canadian trans and queer culture.

Is it Zoom fatigue or are you expected to maintain high levels of productivity through multiple public health crises with very little government support while also being personally responsible for saving local businesses, managing your mental health, and caring for loved ones

I find that a lot of anti-socialist sentiment boils down to a basic belief that people are lazy and won’t do good in the world or work hard unless they are suffering.
I believe the opposite. I think most people would do amazing things if they weren’t in dire straits constantly.
