Disability-based historian. I defended my dissertation and now I'm not sure what to do with myself. I guess publish it. Ask me about my dogs.

Reskeet with how old you are, using a vague proxy: I saw Wrath of Khan at the drive in.

Love that myself and my doctor are the only two people in this crowded office wearing facemasks despite the instructions in the email I got saying facemasks are required. Also the receptionist trying to get me to take my mask off cuz that (and not the crying baby) is the problem in hearing me.

I followed this up by deleting everything in OneTab, which was another 25,000 links. Why do I keep all of this?

I've been deleting a bunch of things off my harddrive and I'm now wondering if I should just delete all my old bookmarks. Everything seems so pointless and the internet seems pointless and unrelatedly life seems pointless and maybe deleting things will make me feel like I did something today.

Once knew an MP who lost his seat. Day after election I emailed him to express commiserations: email bounced back, the account was already disabled. Westminster IT team will have to have been very busy overnight this time round.

Living TSwift's "I cry a lot but I am so productive, it's an art / You know you're good when you can even do it / With a broken heart" and wanting people to tell me I'm being great! so great! so very very great! This is normal mental health behaviour! Anyway, step next in getting my passport sorted.

For Disability Pride Month, one thing I'd love abled bodied people to figure out is how to speak to someone with chronic health issues without implying that if they themselves had the disabled person's health conditions, they would end it all. I promise you life goes on- even with health issues.
