It's so incredibly depressing to see ECRs and small indy presses, both barely hanging on due to the pandemic, attacking *each other*, rather than the dystopian systems of 21st C academia which doesn't value the labour of either.

And while I agree with you that neither are benefitting from the capitalistic model of academia here, there is still a difference between a precarious grad student and an editor at a prestigious press with lots of friends high on the academic ladder coming in.

Also I misspelled your name in my tweet, sorry, it autocorrects with the fada now.

I have seen tweets attacking B&B, which is, despite its prestige, a small, niche indy press. Nor am I denying the power dynamic at play, or defending the shitty people who piled on Chris. The was an apology and deletion, and frankly, IMO better that it had all ended there.

It should have ended on Saturday, but others came in and Caroline came back in too. I haven’t seen anyone attacking B&B, at least not from anyone who was directly involved. But there are a lot of people weighing in now.
