i want to start some kind of social media account or campaign or something to raise awareness of how inaccessible our university campus is. but like there's not even a disabled students society i could get help from. there's a neurodivergent one that i'm thinking of joining in september to see if there's any physically disabled people there who'd want to help me, bc i think undertaking such a project on my own would be difficult and there are other people with other disabilities whose viewpoints and experiences would be essential, not just my own. we do have a staff accessibility team but the way the university hierarchy or w/e works means they don't actually have that much power to do anything at all.

i want to make some sort of change bc tbh it fucking sucks here and i think the one other physically disabled person who was in one of my classes may have dropped out. it sucks, why are we expected to live like this with broken lifts, broken automatic doors, doors that have no automation, etc when the university just spent A Large Amount on a new gym, when they already have other gyms on campus. but apparently it's too much hassle to spend money to actually provide basic access to some of their students. like why am i going into all this debt to be here if i can't even get to some of my classes. 🧐

the university is actually quite good for support for neurodivergent students (in my experience at least), but what's the point in that if i can't access that help bc the university is so fucking physically inaccessible to me!!
