Wondering if I should put Escape Hatch on MSPFA... would y’all be able to read it there? Or does Tumblr just work better for this? I don’t know if there’s any cons to it aside from having to host the images elsewhere (one thing I’m thankful about Tumblr’s posting system is in-house drag and drop for the pictures)... so I’m feeling a bit cautious. Could be neat to try and could boost visibility, but it’s the potential unseen cons that have me nervous lol

Also, speaking of, if I’m still posting it on Tumblr, should I be tagging each entry as a Homestuck fan comic? I’d like to give it some visibility but I also don’t want to spoil things for new readers later down the road or just jump right into it when it hasn’t been tagged so far... so this is an area where MSPFA may come in handy? So many decisions lol

So yeah, that’s just where my thoughts are rn

Being chronically ill in uni is just…

Spends forever dithering about the “introduction email” you have to send your professors at the start of semester, outlining your accomodations/EAP from disability services and the fact that you are always sick™️

Feels weird about the fact that that is sometimes their first impression of you (esp. if it’s an academic who is well respected in your field who you’ll hopefully work alongside some day 😐)

Alternatively, having professors who taught you before you got ill for another class and wondering if they think differently/less of you now

Requests extension and feels weird about how much to put on the request form. Also extension request should take 10 min, actually takes hours.

Feels weird about extensions and special exam accomodations (like extra time) in general.

Feels weird about academic achievement. Especially if I do well when I got an extension.

Tries to discretely take meds during class.

Attempts not to have my super loud joint pop when I’m studying on the silent floor of the library.

Meets other chronically ill students/academics in later stages of their academic careers and feels reassured that it’ll all work out somehow. That being chronically ill won’t hold be back from the career I want.

Has no idea how much to say to classmates and friends.

Plans doctors appointments around class to try to minimise clashes. This is hard when you don’t know your schedule for the next semester when booking in 6-month follow-ups with your specialists. It’s also hard in general when your option is take something with a class clash or wait another three months to see them. But health has to come first.

Attempts to hide the outward signs of brain fog and pain.

Feels really invisible, but knows I’d hate being visibly ill and having to deal with people being weird because of it.

Is the person to go to for information about accomodations/deferred assessment or exams/ medical withdrawal.

Has a professor who is nice-ish but weirdly anal about class attendance and emailing her about stuff. I think she’s going to be a bit tricky. It’s a clause in my EAP that allowances have to be made if I miss class occasionally due to my illness, and considering I’m hoping I’ll have my upper and lower endoscopy scheduled during the second half of the semester I’ll be off a few days recuperating- I’m pretty foggy after anaesthesia. But I don’t want to have to deal with her going “just ask your classmates about what you missed”- I shouldn’t have to disclose to them just to get the class information, when that’s your job as a teacher and it’s an accomodation outlined in my EAP. I’ll just have to unleash disability services on her if she’s being weird about it. But already not looking forward to that 😓
