I don’t know who needs this reminder but PhD and student and academic mental health issues exist within a broader context of structural and systematic ableism and if you try and fix the former without the latter you’re gonna be hamstrung and, also, reproducing ableism Tweet added by Zara B @zaranosaur

never not pissed off that we went from nobody talking about anything to do with disability and chronic illness in academia to people only talking about “mental health” (never mental illness) in academia via a bunch of us spending many hours talking about the entire structure

@natcphd so ubiquitous too, seen in lots of other contexts and it’s... interesting. Sometimes seems to be about softening stigma, sometimes about erasing reality of problem, tho always blocking continuity with chronic illness!
