I've wanted to write something about academic accommodations for a while, and in the absence of other inspiration, I'm just going to put it here.

I have a few points to make but first a bit of context about me. I'm profoundly deaf in my right ear. Basically can't hear anything in it. 1/

I
Like the colorful scrubs they wear
And the way the tubes are placed around this chair
I
Hear a fan cool down the air
And feel special that my blood type is quite rare

I'm sitting at the nurse's station
I'm giving a blood donation

Some of these boys are new, these boys are a team in transition, but most importantly these boys lost a mate in tragic circumstances 4 months ago yesterday.

I’d like us to be able to cut them a bit of fucking slack. Thx bye.
