[Image: Black and white hand-drawn coloring page with the words “asking me to hurt myself is not reasonable. Period.”]Look, it’s another coloring page! Enjoy! And please share if you make anything cool!What inspired this? First of all, I actually drew this about a month ago. At the time, I had had several very tense meetings with my PhD advisor. She was asking me to do work that would’ve resulted in me spending more time sitting at a computer than my body can handle. When I told her that her expectations were not realistic, she got quite angry with me.And my anxiety-prone brain started to wonder if I was being unreasonable by setting boundaries to protect my health. So, this art affirms to myself that my needs and limits are valid and that the types of expectations held by my advisor are not in fact reasonable. -- source link
