This is so important. When I talk about dismantling vocational awe in our lives/workplace and I say “put yourself first” I don’t mean doing stuff like Liz says here. Taking care of yourself at the expense of others is never a good look. And I will never advocate for that.
People say, "I can't take care of other people unless I take care of myself first." And they'll use that sentence to justify vacationing in Hawai'i, or dining indoors during an airborne plague.

Lol. Sometimes even I underestimate how much and how often vocational awe rhetoric is forced onto people. Passion is the metric for success? Not experience or trust or preparation or any other logical variable? Sure, Jan.
Two teachers can teach the exact same lesson and get completely different results. The variable? The teachers’ passion and creativity. The power is not in the program. The power is in the magic the teacher brings. #multiplyexcellence

It’s true! It is so so sooo hard not to make your job your identity. Everything works against you. But I promise taking time out of your life to do enjoy your hobbies will help you have a better life.
truly sad the way adulthood kills all your hobbies. i’m lucky if i read 5 books a year. too tired to play guitar. too tired to cook beautiful meals. we warn people not to make work their identity, but how can you not when work systematically strips away every other part of you?

Without Judy’s work I would have been unable to go through school and now work. Disabled people are people too and deserve the same education as everyone else. Accommodations do not mean “special” or “extra” it allows us to have an equal playing board. Rest in Power Judy Heumann.
45 years ago today was the 11th day of the 504 Sit-In. Congressmen Miller and Burton came to the HEW building for a hearing and I was one of several demonstrators who provided testimony.
