I have so much love and support for academics who are leaving higher ed for better jobs But as a disabled person, no career is kind. Capitalism hates me. Eugenics plays out in every field. So when I look at the job market I have to ask "who will murder me first?" 1/3
It's hard to try to think about where I might get accommodations, or where I can plan my schedule, or where I can tweak the job to meet my access needs when accommodations are inevitably denied. I am all for people striking out for better pay, benefits, and work life balance. 2/3
But it also calls up some undertones of grief, and to be honest, jealously. I often feel like I literally cannot afford to consider any other life path. 3/3 #AcademicChatter
