Psyche Z. Ready

@AlanLevinovitz We need to provide BETTER accommodations. Not fewer. I am so hurt and angry by this article that I cannot believe was published for academics to read, given its lack of cited evidence. I have too many thoughts for a tweet. I'll write up my response and share it as best I can.

If you care about people with disabilities, you will want accommodations that are effective in the short and long term. The most common accommodations for disabilities are not effective. Continuing to provide them isn't advocacy. It's harmful.

I've watched @RottenInDenmark do his thang a number of times. His MO is always the same. Consult ideology for the "right" position, misrepresent the issue/evidence, move on. In this case it actively harms the people I care about: students with & without disabilities. A 🧵:

Did my anxiety lead to this vertigo, which therefore makes it my fault for not calming the eff down? How can I stop my nervous system from responding to everything with illness? (Or is it just because it's ragweed season and my ears are congested?)

I know everyone is gone from here but I need to vent. A week into the semester, my vertigo is suddenly back with a vengeance. It is *so* hard to concentrate when the room is spinning. It's hard to relax. Very hard to teach. And in my dreams, I'm flying an airplane in circles.

Right-wing billionaires are spending millions to elect Trump. Right-wing billionaires spent millions rigging the Supreme Court. Donald Trump and SCOTUS will give them tax breaks, deregulations and protection. Right-wing billionaires can now legally “tip” them for doing it too.

Hi all. My sister has cancer. I'd be so grateful if you would donate any amount to help her financially during this year. Please share if you can. gofundme.com/f/support-roby…

Folks, if you are googling drug interactions, *please* don't trust the AI results. I've seen several examples of incorrect information (I google medical stuff a lot, my OCD subtype) FYI, you can call any pharmacy & ask about interactions. And there are reputable sites out there

In March last year @ErinPritchard15 & i edited a book & it was published. Today, it is now unpublished, it has been silenced &we have received a reversion of rights. Im proud of this collection, of everyone who wrote a chapter, the bravery of every single author. We will be back.

@willflowers Is it normal to spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about my acknowledgements? I think I was drafting them before I even began coursework!

@alteredschizo I"m sorry with how it went down. I'm glad you're home and safe <3

No, I’m not doing better. I ended up in a fight with another patient, a man. It almost got physical. Staff had to pull us apart. I just couldn’t stay, I don’t trust myself not to hurt him.

I'm reading a lot of work on different terminology, and I get it. I get all of it. And I'm proud to belong to the mad and neurodivergent communities... But it's just a feeling in my gut, a knowing who I am and what I need to say to the world. Maybe this will change later?

I think one of the reasons I choose the label "mental illness" is because I spent so many years masking, pretending I was OK. It feels so good to be open about being disordered, ill, disabled. It's not a judgement. It doesn't mean I'm bad or whatever. It's just a descriptor.

@alteredschizo Solidarity, twitter friend. You are not alone and we are rooting for you!

Day 3 at the psych ward. It feels like I’ve been here 3 weeks. I want to go home.

@alteredschizo <3

I’m not ok

Can you tell just by looking at me that I drove to therapy with the windows down singing along to blaring Indigo Girls?

@FromPhDtoLife Take weekends off, no exceptions. And added vacations and days off when needed.

How do you balance personal well-being and the high demands of academic life? Any tips or strategies that have worked well for you?

@RachaelJay13 @kawaiilovesarah I agree. I stop revising when I stop caring and/or when I am too tired to do more.

@kawaiilovesarah Love this. Thank you ♥️

All, how do you know when revisions are done? Asking for me as if this is the first time I'm revising an article 🤦‍♀️

This may be tough to answer, but what Writing Studies journals do you think are best about publishing articles about Disability Studies and/or Disability Justice?
