We often debate what academia is/isn't good for & talk past each other. Through DMs I've come to learn just how many kids come to academia in good faith but never get to see the good part—instead its exploitative, abusive, or neglectful advisors, funding trainwrecks, etc. (1/5)

Successful academics were just fortunate enough to avoid the exploitative and abusive side of academia. Thus it ends up being cyclic and there’s no incentive to change it. Myself and other marginalised people were dealt unlucky hands. Our untapped potential doesn’t matter.

I studied Math, but was bullied by academics & students - ending up in hospital. (Had medical document leaked across the university as a punishment for speaking out.) I graduated but it was obvious academia was a place that maintained outdated status-quo’s and hierarchy.

Still trying for a PhD; clearly passionate about science. But voices like mine are silenced. The institution is made of people who have benefited from stability, privilege and support; believing they’ve earned their place, perpetuating the myth. It’s not a meritocracy.
