I go into the hospital again and this happens?
I wonder how many language scientists assume that signed languages are conlangs? I don't think this is what is happening here, but I am not sure.

Receding from commitments like the tide going out. Need to figure out how to keep moving forward and working in a body that crumbles in different ways weekly.

If you’re going to start a sentence with “Well, I have normal children” to me, stop speaking. That’s it, that’s the tweet. #Disability #raredisease #rettsyndrome

There. Is. Motherfucking. Dignity. In. All. Ways. Of. Languaging.
“Silence isn’t static or limiting. Silence is not an empty void. Silence has a landscape of its own. Silence has its own dimension, a space that enables another way of thinking and being. There is dignity in all forms of communicating.”

My paper got rejected and the reviewer commented that their overall review is negative because the author’s work look like a thesis or a school project! Academia is brutal. As much I appreciate honest criticism, as an early researcher I would rather…

People don’t have to get over shit. Their feelings are valid. You can choose to be accountable for your actions or not care but they don’t have to get over anything

Still thinking about @DrSamiSchalk 's point that sensory disabilities are over represented in dis studies. I have always felt maybe over represented in theory but marginalized in community. Thinking especially about pushback against accomodations ive experienced.

From R F Kuang's Babel. Kuang hasn't quite made the distinction between translation and interpretation but I think about this often when presenting to hearing audiences through an interpreter

When we rented my manual wheelchair I did not imagine that I would hurt my shoulders every time I wheel. I wanted the exercise not the misery. Looking into power scooters for teaching.
