@mark-carney.bsky.social I agree 100% with this: "Gender equality is not an afterthought; it is the backbone of a strong economy and resilient society." Bring back the WAGE Minister. 🇨🇦

The overwhelm is real. Juggling refusing to be treated like crap with research, strange work hours, ND, and peri.... I'm tired.

To fight, to resist, to insist on our right to be free requires a robust blend of tenacious (not foolish) optimism, a clear-eyed (not rose-tinted) hope. “FUSE” is at the heart of “refuse" “RAGE” is the fire in the belly of “courage” FEMINIST GIANT Daily Dose: 91 www.feministgiant.com/p/daily-dose...

what are the steps you would only take if push came to shove? and what constitutes a "shove"? and how many shoves have you already gone through without noticing? the final Alt-Right Playbook is now live. it's called The South Bank of the Rubicon. youtu.be/0YFdwfNh5vs

I'm tired of trying to figure out, "Is this my depression, my autism, my ADHD, perimenopause? Can I do anything proactive about this, or is the world just so crazy that the way I feel is normal, and there is nothing I can do about it"? Way too much to try to tease apart some days.

I hate that I'm going to have to reduce my thesis to something that I never wanted simply because I need it over... I'm tired of the bullying and methodical exclusion that started the first time I called him on it when he tried gaslighting me. 🧵

My PhD. is pissing me off, and I just want it over. I thought I'd be doing my research not managing the supervisor's feelings.

I am so intensely weary from having to manage the feelings of an adult whose job is supposed to be to support me. While this is coming to a head because of my current supervisor, I can't say he is the first I've had to manage.

I am SO happy to see that there are groups addressing this. Academic abuse is rampant, and the worst part is, that most students are too young to realize that what is being done to them isn't ok, especially when it it more subtle like exclusion, manipulation or removing opportunities.

It is so insanely hard to find a place to live in Vancouver that is affordable and LIVABLE. Sure, I can put a roof over my head, but will it crumble because of the upstairs neighbours stomping and the landlord's negligence? Will there be ants and roaches? Can I hear my neighbour fart?

Weary of being told to be nice... Nice to those actively obstructing, harming, and demeaning, being blatantly un-nice and unkind to me. Sure, I get "more flies with honey". Those flies lay their eggs, and the maggots will feed on whatever is left after I've given of myself being "nice"...

This thread is fantastic. I've been the first kind of Mad for a long time, and been working on the second... DAMN it is a lot of work, and can be heartbreaking sometimes, but it feels so much better....

Nothing like going to a neurologist, getting home and going "hey, I forgot to mention that major symptom"... well shit.

I swear life goes in cycles. Everything awful piles up until it is an immense mountain and there is just too much... then it eventually, slowly (and quietly) peters off until one day "wow... nothing is happening in my life" Not sure which is better or worse... but I think I'm getting used to it.

The amount of work to follow through and stand your ground in an unjust situation, whether in work, school or personal life can be immense. It is so much easier to not take a stand. The question is though... what is the cost to NOT take that stand... what is the legacy of that.

I've really noticed lately, that between my work and university supervisors, the one that is the most supportive is the one that isn't always saying that they will support me. Just like an honest person almost never says "trust me". The ones who actually support me, just do it, and do their jobs.
