RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOURSELF MEANS THAT YOU DON’T FALL FOR SHALLOW AND EASY SOLUTIONS

two phrases that never fail me: "life is a rich tapestry" and "this is a rich text." applicable to the whole spectrum of meaning from benevolent wonder to extremely snide.

you see someone doing something frankly batshit but also, not really any of your business? maybe even beautiful in its transcendent weirdness? life is a rich tapestry. you see someone doing something frankly batshit, and also, personally inconvenient to you? throw up your hands. life is a rich tapestry.

"this is a rich text" more applicable to online but I like it because it implies that you could expound paragraphs upon paragraphs or even an entire PhD thesis analyzing what the fuck is going on here. but you won't, because this is not a fully-funded research position. you can simply toss out a "rich text!" and move on with your life.

me: im disabled and have limits

the smartest most intelligent guy in the world with the most hugest dick ever like so big, like the biggest dick ever, man and also soooo intelligent and thoughtful and just so so intelligent: have you tried pushing yourself?

hexpatient

from my own experience and also from what i hear from others, the issue seems to stem from a fundamental misunderstanding of how i know my limits. i know because i have discovered and tested them. i push them sometimes, carefully. and occasionally i get ok results or at least nothing bad happens. but sometimes something does happen, so i MUST respect my limits.

but when i talk about disability to abled people, they assume its just a bad attitude. like ive defaulted to a "i cant" attitude. and that stems from a fundamental mistrust of disabled people, and the cultural grift of acting like bad things can only exist in the mind. yes i know this is old news. anyways.

Nonchaloir (Repose) — John Singer Sargent, 1911 Oil on canvas, National Gallery of Art, Washington

Sargent captures his niece, Rose-Marie Ormond Michel, reclining in a moment of effortless elegance. Her shimmering satin gown cascades across the sofa in luminous folds, reflecting light with remarkable fluidity. The relaxed pose contrasts with the richness of the fabric, turning the dress itself into a quiet study of luxury and movement

I just think d.b. cooper drag routine with briefcase/confetti bomb and paper money bag props that ends with jumping of stage with a parachute and death dropping could be cool

a funny thing about having conversations with people within institutions (academic in this case but also others) about gatekeeping, is that you end up having a conversation over and over in which you're like, "hey this alligator spike pit moat you have erected around your institution is keeping a lot of people out," and they're like, "well *I* navigated the alligator spike pit moat just fine," and you're like, "right. by dint of us having this conversation, you within the institution and me without, it is understood that you navigated the alligator spike pit moat. due to that being an inherent requirement of entering the institution," and they're like, "I don't think you understand the prestigious history of our alligator spike pit moat," and you're like, "is there a reason why there needs to be an alligator spike pit moat encircling the concept of higher education?" and they're like, "look, the alligator spike pit moat isn't for everyone. some people just aren't cut out for the alligator spike pit moat :)" and you're like, "right, yeah, like disabled people and people coming from poverty or unstable home environments or underserved communities or people dealing with difficult to navigate life events like pregnancy or abuse or prison or addiction or the death of a loved one, for example" and they're like, "how dare you imply that we are keeping those people out on purpose. it's their own problem if they can't wrestle the alligators and avoid the spikes while also disabled and/or poor and/or pregnant etc" and you're like, "well that seems evil," and they're like, "it sounds like maybe you're just bitter about the alligator spike pit moat because of your totally random individual experience with ONE bad alligator spike pit moat. have you considered therapy?" and you're like, "did you know that there's some patterns here in terms of how y'all are handling this stuff?" and they're like, "actually yes. we even have a department of alligator spike pit studies :)" and you're like, "that's great, how do I get access to and participate in those conversations?" and they're like, "well firstly you must cross the alligator spike pit moat"

if you can document that you have a medical condition that might make it challenging for you to navigate the alligator spike pit moat, they'll give you an extra 20 minutes to complete your navigation of the alligator spike pit moat

IMPORTANT: any injuries incurred as a result of navigating the alligator spike pit moat will be the sole responsibility of the injured parties. once you leave, the people who made you navigate the alligator spike pit moat and the institution that installed the alligator spike pit moat will never contact you again. except sometimes to ask you for more money.
