The article is far from perfect but many of you are so self absorbed and worried about how Medieval Studies is more than just lit. Well it's all still predominantly a WHITE FIELD. Is that clear? THE FIELD IS FOR WHITE PPL THE FIELD IS FOR WHITE PPL THE FIELD IS FOR WHITE PEOPLE.

Our bodies and selves keep taking hits for you and you continue to show again and again that you do not care that we put ourselves out there and do the activism and antiracist work and try and better this disgusting field FOR YOU.

Your secret DMs to apologize and your fear that I am going to out you for some of the stealth racism that I know of and your attempts to cover your predatory behaviour and bullying. I know you. I do not for the life of me know why you are silent. Get off your asses.

Your collective amnesia &continuous apathy &equally praise of yourselves for doing the absolute bare minimum is appalling. Human decency is hard. No wonder the field is so white. Keep toasting urselves as we keep getting called the N-word & more for attempting to better the field

Claiming that this is educating the public about Medieval Studies is disgusting. Most of you have had no interest in educating the public and now you care more about adding other disciplines to the definition within the field rather than addressing white supremacy and sexism.

Maybe you are self reflecting and that's why you are deafeningly quiet, but just know that @adam_miya
@erik_kaars@EileenAJoy@dorothyk98@slomuto and others like@bre_leake et al are taking hits for a field that is largely apathetic.Show this thread -
The only thing that makes this worth any of our time (& I mean those who have been saying things for years or who are vulnerable) is the hope that in the next decade(s) structural changes will make this field more welcoming, inclusive & safer for vulnerable people &young scholars

You believe there is no reward or return for you and as you do not experience what we do, you have nothing to gain. This is how you operate. "What's in it for me?" "I don't see those things." "I'm so sorry, but oh well!" "I work in a later field" You are not decent humans.

Part of the reason progress will take longer is because those of us in this fight have to wait for vulnerable people, ECR, people in the pipeline to carry the torch because you in the field are largely not doing the work.

A name-change is emblematic. This work is only just beginning but your deafening silence or twisted readings are making me question how much you actually are comfortable with white supremacy, abuse, gatekeeping, sexism, bigotry and more.pic.twitter.com/TnrXrVnv7d
