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.

And who said we aren't grateful for Caroline? No one is stopping you from going on your TL and praising whoever you want. Do you think these grad students need this extra stress? You are in their house. Chris was the OP.

I did go on my timeline to praise her? My initial response to this issue was to say how much I owed her.

Then why are you *HERE*? You had to make the point to the grad students who have been attacked for the past 2 days?

Because I think we need to tackle this issue with universities, not publishers. Why are you here? What do you think we should do?

Mary is here because you and several others are here, making a bunch of points that are not on Chris to fix.
