#MedievalTwitter So I thought we had come to a space where we were on the same page. But apparently not. I accepted her apology, though I did have to ask her if she planned to apologize for that comment that was "far right medieval fake-news" rhetoric about me. She did. 9/

#MedievalTwitter so let's be clear, you meant that tweet, I thought you apologized, but if you can't own that you said that, then I feel your apology was not in good faith. So why should we trust you b/c so far, you have demonstrated in multiple instances why we should not 20/Show this thread -
#MedievalTwitter finally, I don't know what you want to do but if you believe in intersectionality, then how is it that ISXX as a white org is going to be inclusive now? So it's fine now b/c they are maybe LGBTQIA inclusive because they appointed you, when at the moment, 21/Show this thread -
#MedievalTwitter there may be 1-2 LGBTQIA+MOC person working on early England? They are gone. How exactly is making an org more white somehow solidarity in relation to all the issues, especially racism, that was discussed in relation to ISXX? 22/Show this thread -

#MedievalTwitter Here is what a number of us expect, the ISXX org will just use this Exec. Dir. as a shield to continue white supremacist back-to-status quo procedure & do nothing. I expect a bunch of white women will run for the board & diversity will be about white women 25/Show this thread -
#MedievalTwitter and finally, I expect ISXX will try to use any minority scholars as shield, particularly ones they feel are the "good" & "acceptable" ones. This is respectability politics par excellence. MOC is not interested in violent respectability politics. END.Show this thread
