Of course theres more for me to improve on in my own communication . and I do actually spend a LOT of time reflecting on this & talking to folk whom I value. I’m conscious of how often we educate disabled person on how to do better instead of critiquing discriminatory behaviour.

My morning was spent reading EoIs for a support worker job listing. The job outlined a practical task - no info about my feelings. Responses were loaded with assumptions like: “It must be so hard/difficult for you. I feel so blessed. I love to help ppl like you.”. My reply:

Not really on twitter X much these days. Finished phd & its been with examiners since october. Post-phd, I got obsessed with studying australian native flora & fauna & dug out my old pastel set. I really can spend days scribbling away, totally focused despite hands cramping.
