Its hard some days to be kind. Alright it’s hard most days. When a professor used blindness pejoratively in a meeting today I was, if not unkind, forceful in my response. I’m not giving ground when it comes to ableist lingo for why should I? And why should you if you’re a woman in a male dominated environment or a person of color in a traditionally while cultural context? But always when you speak up in these matters there’s a look of disapprobation. Zounds! That’s the risk you take.
