14 / I did what the neoliberal university trained me to do. I kept my mouth shut and I kept going. I sat down with 10+ graduate students and asked them about their work. I do not know what was said. I do not know what I said. I smiled through lunch and a job talk.

15 / I just kept fucking going. I never told anyone. Nobody. I’ve told people this story in hindsight while laughing, but it isn’t fucking funny. Do you know how common place this stuff is? Do you know what women are put through in this “profession”? I could go on.

16 / This stuff is egregious, but it is not comprehensive and, yes, it does get worse. Some stories are not mine to tell. Others are stories I will not tell. The point is: I am not unique. These men are not unique. Wisconsin is not unique. These experiences are not unique.

17 / Which brings me to my next point: I hear and understand the calls that we respond to the recent CHE essay generously. I get it. I’m on the TT. I’m white. I got fucking lucky. I’m not where I’m at because this is a meritocracy. And I know TT people need to sit down,

18 / shut the hell up, listen to their contingent colleagues, and DO SOMETHING. I also agree: we should not character assassinate; we should not say the author of the essay did not deserve a job or is somehow responsible for not getting one;

19 / we should not shut down conversations, showboat, assuage survivor’s guilt, or shield power. No to all of this. But can you see why it might be difficult for someone like me—and for many others—to hear that we’re shutting down necessary conversation and action?

20 / To hear that, once again, we should respond generously. Yes, there are complexities here. But also: ouch. What about how something like the CHE essay silences others? Precludes others from participating in the conversation? Erases experiences?

21 / Yearns for the zenith of the very forms of power that continue to wreak havoc on the minds and bodies of colleagues—contingent and TT—every single day? I’m just going to come out and say it: I think it’s too much to ask. If what we mean by generosity

22 / is that we take the indictments of our contingent colleagues seriously, I’m absolutely with you. If what we mean is that we abstain from ad hominem attacks, masturbatory call-outs, self-defensive dismissals, I’m all for it.

25 / This is not a subtweet. It’s not. I'm responding to patterns, here. And I get why those patterns are visible. I see where they're coming from. But I’m hoping we can all meet halfway on this one.
