OH MY GOD. For the FIRST TIME EVER, a reviewer has BOTH told me that my manuscript's structure is inadequate AND GIVEN ME SUGGESTIONS FOR THE NEW STRUCTURE. BLESS THIS REVIEWER. BLESS THEM. #AcademicTwitter
OH MY GOD. They even marked SPECIFIC sentences that can be pulled from other places in the manuscript to go under the new recommended structure. They literally did the work. They recognized my argument and are helping me make it clear to people with linear brains. T_T BLESS THEM.
They gave me recommendations for how change presentation of a list into a two column table for improved readability. They are so nice I love them I want to meet them and ordain them into my academic polycule.
It's time for reviewer 2 now. Brace for Impact.
It was fine. Also very clear and helpful, with the exception of not providing recommendations for alternative statistical analysis when criticizing the method I did use. Can't wait to resubmit.

The ADA turned 31 (#ADA31) so I'm going to tell you about the ADA case that Universities absolutely would lose if anybody had the resources to bring it to trial.

Spoiler: no one does 🧵
Universities' COVID-19 response confirmed two things:
1. Universities can offer remote instruction as an accommodation for both students and faculty
2. Universities affirm that the quality (and cost) of remote, hybrid, or otherwise digitally mediated instruction is equal to fully in-person face-to-face instruction.

I just filed my paperwork for my legal name change in medium-town Indiana and I only experienced slightly more than the baseline indignity of existing in a county clerk of court office. I'm procrastinating so I'm going to tweet about it. 🧵
First, the paperwork was so stressful. It's a huge PDF of multiple forms strung together.
It's actually very convenient that the state of Indiana makes transgender name change forms comprehensive, including the request to waive public record and newspaper publishing. BUT
I am terrible at forms. Dyslexia et al. So I cried a lot trying to make sure I filled it out correctly. Then I struggled to find a notary. Then I buried the packet on my desk and did not venture to the county clerk for over 6 months.

Let's talk about #PrideMonth, #RainbowCapitalism, and #ArtTheft.

@Dickies has released a Pride collection for June, featuring LGBTQIA artists. One of those artists, #AmberIbarreche, designed Art Bibs (overalls) featuring Ibarreche's word&symbol art motifs.

PLOT TWIST 🧵
Dead-center on these art bibs is a heart with the words "Learn the Heart Way". How nice. However, what's the background of this heart? A pride flag. BUT. It's not just ANY pride flag. It's the #NewPrideFlag.

And this is where the #ArtTheft comes in.
The #NewPrideFlag was designed by Black Indigenous Queer creator, Julia Feliz. #AmberIbarreche's art bibs' dominant artistic feature is the unattributed, uncompensated labor of a Black Indigenous Queer community organizer and activist.

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE

Frontiers in Human Robot Interaction Research, as imagined by me, a disabled researcher who's tired of your shit. 🧵
1) A socially assistive robot for autistic people but instead of "correcting" autistic "social deficits" it absolutely roasts other people about their own ableism.
2) A reconfigured amazon alexa that mounts to a power chair that yells at people when they do something rude. "Do not touch!", "Talk to me, not my PCA.", "Bark Bark!", "*cicada noises*"

Okay so let's talk about this.

First, to protect my job, this didn't happen at Purdue.

Second, no one literally said "you cannot be PI because you are disabled"

However! 🧵
What did happen was that repeatedly throughout my graduate studies, every time I wrote research protocols that engaged with autistic people (adults and children) directly, I had to justify how they were competent to consent.
That's right. I had to prove that autistic people are capable of understanding research and of having the agency to consent to participation. There's no two ways about it. This is institutionalized, systemic ableism.

Our paper "Oh No, Not Another Trolley!" has been accepted to @IEEESSIT. We survey CS majors about their exposure to ethics in CS courses and their ethical reasoning in 5 scenarios from real-world examples of algorithmic decision-making support in healthcare & #COVID19. 🧵
While many students were able to articulate potential threats to equity and mortality for people marginalized by racial, gender, and class oppression, none concurrently recognized disabled or chronicaly ill people as a specific class vulnerable to systemic bias.
(additionally, students that recognized racial discrimination in algorithmic decision-making did not recognize how ableism strengthens racism.)
