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?

I'm here to tell you personally to back the fuck off of grad students because I've spent 2 days of my life having to explain to ppl that not everyone can afford to buy books.

Yes, and we all know we can't afford books. But aside from that?

Chris has been harassed for a day and a half over something a great many people are doing because library access has been curtailed.
