everyone rightfully complains about how the r word is back in vogue now but I think the people talking about how using ChatGPT makes you a small brained lazy degenerate are getting off way too easy

The fascinating thing about the word ‘nigga’ vis-à-vis nonblack ppl that use it and/or want to use it without consequences, is that the majority of them would sooner eat glass than spend one day being considered and/or being treated as a Black person.

If you’re nonblack you can reblog this BUT ☝🏿 don’t act up

In hindsight it's very insulting to be told that flunking out of college due to adhd is actually "quite common"

revacholianrobot

just like, if there's a history at your institution of disabled kids not being able to make it you realise that's your fault right. like why don't you fucking do something about it. i guess they tried to do something about it with me and it failed so they let me go. crazy. nice work. why should we try to do any better.

yourheartinyourmouth

only 5% of people with adhd who go to college finish a degree. FUCKING. FIVE!!! PERCENT!!!!!!!!!!!

that should disgust and enrage you.

if any other demographic of students had a 95% failure rate, we would be demanding reform and studies to understand why that’s happening

when i was at my first university, trying to get accommodations for my ADHD, they just kept asking me what accommodations i wanted, and refused to answer when i would ask what was available to me. how the Hell am i supposed to know what i can have? what’s available???? also, i don’t know!!!! i’m an adhd sufferer, not a fucking disability expert for the fucking college, unlike you, DISABILITY EXPERT WHO WORKS FOR THE COLLEGE.

but because the us is OBSESSED with making sure no one gets anything “”for free””, she literally would not tell me what my options were until i broke down in tears and asked her why she was refusing to help me. and then she did a big sigh, like i was fucking up her entire career by *checks notes* asking the disability center in my university to help me, a disabled student

at the second uni i went to, i tried to explain to a dean that i was literally two gen eds that had nothing to do with my degree away from graduating and that i was burnt out and broke and exhausted and suicidal and i just needed to be able to finish my degree without the gen eds. and this. fucking. guy. looked me right in my face and said in the most patronizing tone he could muster “if you can’t handle it, then maybe college just isn’t for you.” keep in mind that up until that semester, i had been an honor student who made Dean’s List every semester and didn’t get below Bs. if it hadn’t been for my mental breakdown, i would have graduated cum laude, maybe even summa cum laude.

but this dean of students looked a disabled person right in the face and said well i guess you just can’t do it, short bus

Pulled these from a couple articles really quick but yeah the statistics are not kind. I remember writing a scathing essay about my issues with ADHD and college as part of an assignment for academic probation. I got back an email calling me entitled and lazy. Somehow, this thread helps me feel a lot better. I still have about a semester of school unfinished that I’m unsure if I’ll finish but… yeah. Makes me feel better to know it’s not just me.

PSA: The Job Accommodation Network maintains a searchable database of accommodation suggestions for a wide variety of disabilities.

The full database can be accessed here and the ADHD page is here. The full database can be filtered by disability, by limitation, by work-related function, by topic, and by accommodation. Many of these accommodations are applicable to academic settings as well as the workplace.

Here are the section headers for ADHD accommodations ideas to give an overview of what the page contains - this post would become Do You Love the Color of the Accommodation if I attempted to list them all here

The ADHD page linked above also includes case examples and strategies for determining what sort of accommodations might be necessary. More broadly, the JAN website as a whole is a treasure trove of information related to the Americans with Disabilities Act and resources for both individuals and employers.

Oh fuck that's really nice, I will read it

Also just heard a podcast interview with a software developer who had good suggestions

Do you feel like ADHD is holding you back? Maybe you don't personally have ADHD but you work with folks who do and you'd like to support the

dropout posts on the dash, where's the video of Sam Reich joking about transfems being predators

kill your white boy for me

remember that time they aired an episode where Chris Grace said "Esk*mo kiss" and, in response to the backlash, they and Grace separately issued statements + edited it out of the episode? still waiting on Reich's statement about this

hint: this time it can't be played off as an honest mistake.

#am i dumb i genuinely don't understand what his comment was supposed to mean#even the... host? seemed confused #like i genuinely don’t get it #and i am trans woman fyi #is it really that simple and I'm just like “that can't be it”

it is that simple, yes. a rich, powerful white man essentially said, "funny to be called a pedophile by a man wearing a lot of makeup" and expected everyone to laugh at it.

it's notable that the response was confusion. they knew that what he said was objectionable, they were trying to find a way to avoid that conclusion and couldn't find one. I also had this moment of confusion.

we, all of us, have been taught to dismiss and excuse transmisogyny. we've internalized it, the confusion happens automatically. deliberate effort is required to overcome that impulse to dismiss, and even that relies on us having noticed it happening at all.

he didn't acknowledge it because he knew he didn't have to. everyone in the room let it slide, they aired it uncritically, there is no outrage about it. it's just an awkward joke.

Just wanted to come back for long enough to remake this one since it's important to me

reticentlybouncingonit

She turned around in the bag as I walked like she was trying to cuddle up. The walk to the coffee shop is really hard for me now, so we have to take a bunch of breaks.

I do let her explore a bit on the way. She really wanted to show me this rock she found and I had to explain that it wouldn’t let her evolve. She wants to keep looking though.

reticentlybouncingonit

Woaw, she’s so cute, I’m nervous.

She’s trying my drink but I don’t think she loves the coffee flavour.

Showing me some of her older work, what a celebrity!

She’s pretty tired from the trip over, letting her get some rest and listen to some music before we head back ^^

reticentlybouncingonit

I think I need to accept that I just can’t get coffee anymore without it contributing to a flare up. Thankfully she doesn’t mind supporting me for a while…

reticentlybouncingonit

Giving her a chance to run around now she has some energy back

Playing

Sniffing

Basking

Watching local wildlife

No thats still not an evo stone

reticentlybouncingonit

Girl come onnnn we’re almost home and I wanna sit down T_T

reticentlybouncingonit

Had to do a milk run and lured her out of the tree by promising to let her choose a snack

Doesn’t seem in the mood for chips

Getting warmer?

Ah, good choice

reticentlybouncingonit

Milk retrieved ^^

reticentlybouncingonit

We got home and immediately collapsed together. What a day

Well deserved water and snack break before I let her rest and go shower

reticentlybouncingonit

It really felt like a very special date.

I hope she enjoyed herself today

I know I did ////

“Im not seeing this anywhere is this real?” It’s breaking news from a journalist in his hospital who previously broke sensitive medical news on him. There literally hasn’t been time to write articles yet headasses

Even trump folks are starting to talk about it (granted, Loomer,,,)

But also like, folks knew this was likely coming. This isn’t shocking it was mostly just a matter of when.

can we just stop please

#do we really need to call it that #could you not have just called it something else #do we need to make it a racist stereotype

missstrogen

So are we gonna do a thing about transmisogynists? anything? Or are we just gonna keep reblogging and it's okay if they do a bit of hal as their main job as long as their side job is funny

missstrogen

You can reblog this btw. I mean i won't get a thousandth of the notes but i'd quite like it if people were at least slightly inconvenienced when they tried to kill me.

Or you can just keep scrolling too

I used to reference this tweet all the time. I did it for years. I misremembered "kramer gets addicted to virtual yogurt" being a meme so I gave people shit for not remembering it

and then one day I looked it up and realized it was from a failed 2013 gimmick account that tweeted 6 times before being abandoned and got like. 2 retweets ever.
