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 I wish people would stop weighing in like the people defending the grad student, namely me and mostly other ECRs and precarious people, were also in the wrong.

This is really not my fight, not least since I know (and like) both participant personally. Chris has acknowledged that small indy publishers have a right to be concerned about sales, just as Caroline has acknowledged that grad students aren't always in a position to pay.

Caroline also said to a disabled independent researcher that he just shouldn’t get books, if he cannot afford them. If she is concerned, then she is a hypocrite because she never said a word to tenured folks doing the same thing as Chris.
