I know I'm a shit grant application writer but to get feedback that "research on disability just isn't as relevant now that the pandemic is over" truly is astounding to see someone with a doctorate and critical thinking skills say to me in writing
Another gem: "it is unclear to me why the applicant requires archival access given the supposed dearth of sources -- is disability everywhere or nowhere? It is unclear what the applicant is seeking to find."
@travisclau If it makes you feel any better feedback a publisher gave on my graphic memoir about being hospitalized with POTS (which covid causes and is one of the most common chronic illnesses) was that it wasn’t “universal” enough to be relatable 🤷♀️
@travisclau is it possible to name and shame them? (I know it's often not)
@travisclau omfg this gives me flashbacks to the time a ~neurodivergence TM~ conference rejected my trans/autistic paper proposal bc they didn’t “understand how trans issues would fit the theme of the conference”
