there is a break in the rain
but water still drips from the trees
crows are perched at the crown
as young warblers keep watch
as ducks get their afternoon sleep
and a timid baby seagull
is breaking bread with me
the water in the fountain flows backwards
the lilies are gone from the pond
all is quiet- too quiet
but the squirrels still are skittering
up, down, and around the old oak trees

saw from your fic that you're gonna come to nyc for beetlejuice!! just saw it on nov 12 and it's absolutely amazing, you're really in for a treat <3
(also i promise nyc isn't that scary but maybe that's just cuz im native to the city)
[obligatory apologies for how late this is - just checked my askbox for the first time in months and saw a few things I hadn't had the chance to reply to yet!]
I saw the musical back in nov2019 and jan2020! super weird to think of how different the world [and I] was back then. I was still in high school when I saw the show, and now I'm a sophomore in college! my interests have shifted a lot over the years, but I still find myself humming along to the songs every once in a while.
nyc is a pretty fun city! I love being there for <3 days; past that, I start getting claustrophobic LMAO. I'm a dmv kid at heart!

How MBA Programs Can Remove Disability-Related Barriers
Breward, K. & Samosh, D. (2022, March 29). How MBA programs can remove disability-related barriers. The Conversation. https://theconversation.com/how-mba-programs-can-remove-disability-related-barriers-176651
Katherine Breward and Daniel Samosh write: “MBA degrees are considered the gateway to lucrative and influential senior positions, and they are increasingly required for promotion to mid-level managerial jobs. As a result, disability barriers in these programs represent a critical challenge to inclusion. We examined these issues in a study of 184 prospective, current and former MBA students with disabilities. ... We found that disability-related barriers surfaced as early as the application stage and continued to impact academic experience until graduation. This research explored the specific challenges that respondents experienced and their recommendations to improve inclusion.”
“Overall, one in three respondents faced disability-related barriers during the application process. The accessibility of standardized tests required for entry into MBA programs (such as the GMAT and GRE) was a notable concern. ... After entering a program, 57 per cent of respondents experienced disability barriers. The most frequently cited problems were:
Overly demanding schedules, inflexibility about deadlines (for example, one respondent was not given an extension despite having a seizure, while another was asked to make a graded presentation from the hospital)
Difficulty participating in classroom discussions due to hearing impairments or social anxiety
Issues communicating with professors and peers.
Respondents also reported inaccessible facilities, inaccessible learning materials and difficulty sitting for three-hour classes.”
“Two out of three students required accommodations. Some who needed accommodations were unable to access them since schools require formal proof of disability — and the students could not afford to pay for assessments. ... Notably, our study found that 60 per cent of the accommodations students needed could be provided for free. We split required accommodations into physical access, the need for extra time or scheduling considerations and social consideration.”

it would be foolish to think it over
to imagine that this is an end
that this end is more than it is
it would be prudent to think it over
roll it around once or twice
check with all 5 selves in your head
oh, isnt it a lofty ideal?
to make peace before you end up dead?

Hayā: Hayāt of heart
Hayā: modesty derived from the word Hayāt, or life because it is through modesty that the heart is granted life and it is through the absence of modesty that it dies.
