my best friend is a seasoned therapist now & when i ask her for advice she turns it on so fast.
me: "i'm still in <3 w/ my ex"
her: "I think it’s important to identify what the reality-based longings are, then come to terms with it & grieve / explore if he’s the only 1 who can give it to you..."
yup 😭
at USC! girl.
i was appalled that she even had to ask her prof. i truly dont understand how most of us get harassed or bullied out of academia and ppl like this get to stay. bc what do you mean you made your student tell a disabled person you cant accommodate them when it's an expansive research method 😭

I’m ngl this report that me n my two girl friends pushed out in four weeks on top of carrying our first bill, really pushed me to the brink. 😭 93 pages and I’d say 90 pages of it is straight up data not even discussion. 90 pages of findings. We collected so much data 💀
im like the professor knows that "narrative" doesn't actually have to mean verbal speech right 😭
i told her well, at least you know what NOT to do in the future. where do yall be getting your degrees from fr?
one of my former msw classmates is almost done with her phd and for one of her narrative methods courses she has to interview a chronically ill person and provide a transcript. i asked if she could do it written bc i cant speak much (due to my disability) and her prof said no LMAOOO!
iykyk
As a biracial BW who did grad school at a PWI I can really relate and empathize. I moved across the country to get away from my department and vowed to never become tt. I feel for my friends who are still junior scholars trying to make it, and to the women who have endured so much to become full
So good for her but such a damn shame to even have to go through that. The academy misses out on so much good brilliant talent.
If we all aired our grievances, everyone’s faves would be implicated. People think they know but they don’t. It is a horrible awful experience and I just send many hugs to all the other Black women who have experienced this. We are the only ones who really got us.
Seeing ppl celebrate noem being replaced by a sexist racist pos. Ready for you to do your big one God.
i wish i could explain the extent of violence black women academics experience in the ivory tower, but it would take too many hours. just know. many tears.
juelz santana and old dipset raising my vibrations lol
Are the arguments really based on “promises of ai” or is it just overmarketing to the point that we don’t question it
I love name dropping my community in conversations, & today it was @alexhanna.bsky.social/AI con, and the point was that we should be disrupting spaces that lean on the ”promises” of AI by revitalizing the option of refusal. Sometimes it takes just one person saying no when deciding on AI adoption
All pictures of a brown skin woman sitting in a wheelchair wearing a rose gold cheetah print silk button up shirt, gold necklace and cross, gold earrings, and glasses.
The horrors persist but so do we I guess
thoughts and prayers but like for real sob
