No one above us in pay grade or status in academia gets to ask us to give them understanding when they show up to harass and shame us for just trying to get our theses done.

This has been a massive drain on Chris, who needs to get his work done. And anyone coming in here to cape for publishers don't seem to get just how terrible it is to get dogpiled for just trying to survive in academia right now as a PhD.

I hope Chris is ok. I will bow out now.

Yeah the elitism, classism and power dynamics of this is sickening. You just tweeted a long thread to defend Caroline who has "don't buy books" as a response to ppl and you've just realized that a grad student was simply asking for a book to find a reference? Give me a break.

You've missed part of the thread, I think? I have not just realised this at all.

I got into this thread because I feel very grateful to Caroline, and because I recognise how much work she puts in to supporting people.

I think our universities should be giving us proper access. If they did, I don't think this situation would arise.

Except we can't tag in every university here and say, give us access. Libraries too are struggling with requests. Yes, the overarching problem is access. But that isn't going to do anything for Chris right now.

We could! Why not?! Why are libraries struggling less ok for us to tag than publishers!?

Feel free then. See if that manages to get anything done. I've seen plenty of librarians saying they are trying to get books and such. I know TCD has tried hard. But they need more money from the overhead institution too.

Also, no one tagged in a publisher. Once again, Caroline showed up to pick on Chris.

Again. I only just by random saw Chris's tweet. And have apologised.
