This is exactly how I feel being in academic spaces. I will never be able to “live up to my own personal expectations“ especially when I know I can do/be better but I can’t

The Mind Hears has another great profile out of a deaf/hard of hearing academic! So much to learn about life and work from these. You will laugh at how Tim "discovered" he had hearing loss. #DisabledAcademic #deafFaculty
But little by little I kept moving it forward until I had more energy to make it a reality this past year. So if you can relate in any way to that story, I just want to say that I see you & I am here cheering you on...one day your project too will make it into world.
6/6 #disabledacademic
Visible App output - text reads "Score 1, out of balance. Be kind to yourself today. Your body needs rest to get back to baseline. HRV lower than average and far outside it's normal range. Resting heart rate is much higher than your recent average, and is far outside of its normal range".
I'm using the free Visible pacing app to manage #CFS like symptoms (primary & secondary #fatigue for #neuroinflammatory #disability). First time i've scored lowest value for stability. Prob should take the day off sick, but got 3 meetings today 😭🤷♀️ #ChronicIllness #DisabledInSTEM #DisabledAcademic
Stressed about new suggested medication and also stressed trying to show students how to properly format research papers #disabledacademic
Would love to connect with more disabled and/or chronically ill academics on here (and disabled peeps generally). Any tips for how to best do that? Not sure I’ve got the hang of bsky hashtags yet… #disability #MECFS #disabledscholars #disabledacademic #spooniechat #spoonie
The #trauma of #AccessToWork #DWP #ATW. Started my in-work support renewal in June 24, old award ran out Aug 24. Employer must front costs and claim back once sorted. Had to contest ATW decision once already. Maybe I will get approval for support by end of year 🤷♀️♿. #Disability #UK #DisabledAcademic
I'm looking to do more for #disability in #academia. If you want a speaker for an event etc. in this theme, please contact me. I'd even enjoy just talking informally w/academics about lived experiences as disabled persons. #DisabledAcademic #AcademicChatter #DisabledInSTEM
Excited for the first day of session, but dreading the walking around campus required. #DisabledAcademic
