Sometimes other students, profs or otherwise become obsessed & make us feel unsafe. Often universities do nothing to protect victims of stalking. I had only met this person once (in a 1-day class) & that sparked months of stalking & obsession, he even broke into my accts. 2/10

You don't have to know these stalkers well or spend time with them.
@dorothyk98 has a file on a medievalist who has virtually stalked & harassed her for years. This obsession can take lots of forms & weighs on victims psychologically. 3/10Show this thread -
Anyway, I just thought I would explain why I had pseudonyms in the first place. I don't always feel entirely safe, and I'm sure other victims of this sort never feel entirely safe either but just know there are people out there who will support you, cause you aren't alone. 4/10

Coming out after being stalked is like reclaiming a part of yourself, but it takes time and sometimes people never feel safe enough to do that. You aren't alone, if you feel that way. The reason why I had to come out was because . . . 5/10

antiracist activism can't always be done secretly (or at least not in the long game). So I had to decide if I was ready to say who I was & possibly risk the safety of me & my family. No one should force you to do this, this has to be your choice. 6/10

Anyway, the "open group" on FB that is obsessed with us is obsessed in an unhealthy way. People like
@paulbhalsall is obsessed with me,@erik_kaars@margiehousley@dorothyk98@EileenAJoy@jeffreyjcohen @adam_miya & others. I'm calling you out to ask you respectfully to stop. 7/10Show this thread -
You were first claiming you knew my heritage, which you don't and you spread lies that effectively erased who I am and my history. I can't tell you how to speak about any of us in private, but you are effectively spreading lies about us in a public space. 8/10

We hear someone in your group trawls
@erik_kaars's wall to find & post screenshots to mock him & his work.@paulbhalsall I know you believe we have time (or care) to screenshot you for some reason. I am sure we all did that in the past at some point, but none of us do that. 9/10Show this thread -
I'm asking you politely to stop obsessing. We don't have to agree on anything. You do you. Feel free to continue to criticize our antiracist work, but if you can't join us, at least don't feed trolls and stop spreading lies. Stop obsessing over us. Thanks. 10/10
