I have heard from middle-career white men that they never thought their voices mattered and that they feared speaking up would seem like they were 'mansplaining.' We NEED you to speak up AGAINST racism, sexism, abuse. Your very being gives you more sway, use it for good! 9/15

When you do, we will support you. If you are a predator, you need to stop. The whisper network is not going to whisper any more, we are going to scream. Let me just say that this goes for female abusers too. Your names are out there. 10/15

This should have always been a team effort, not left to our most vulnerable to start this change. But we are here now, and this is where we begin to change. 11/15

And to white women, my god, you have destroyed some of us. You are fragile. Reflect. Get over yourselves. Your feminism is not mine, it never was. If you see this as a statement of love, then you are already on the right track. Keep going. 12/15

One day, maybe, as my sister
@slomuto once said, we will be included & welcomed as scholars, instead of being invited for being 'others'. We will hopefully have a seat as equals. It will be ours too. We aren't there yet. This is going to be a long-game, everyone. Buckle up. 13/151 reply 11 retweets 76 likesShow this thread -
People outside our community are listening and watching. This is an opportunity for this community of Early Medievalists to shine. You haven't been in the limelight, so make the changes and be the models that other fields will envy. You will make mistakes, but don't stop. 14/15pic.twitter.com/X7OrFekFHK

Finally, I know this isn't over. I said this is a team effort b/c it's true. You have demonstrated you know how to pull together in crises, so don't let it get to that stage again. I want to thank the voices who have been so courageous in whatever this movement is called. 15/

You are AMAZING and I feel in awe of how strong and funny you’ve been these past few days, and I feel honoured to have met you.
