I have been off social media b/c of family stuff so only just caught up. I am angry to see NBPOC on #MedievalTwitter pulling this misogynoir & repeating White supremacist conspiracy theories. When did “critique” meant spouting fascist talking points? #ShakeRace #RaceB4Racehttps://twitter.com/erik_kaars/status/1272886332122071057 …

I always wonder what the investment is in misreading in order to tear down someone who has put in the work of dismantling white supremacy in the field. Are we still as hungry for the approval of the white gaze? Can there only ever be one of us while they are countless?

And at this moment, really. NOW. Because the post clearly pointed out how white medievalist men were writing all those op-eds but never discussed race and particularly the racialized toll of COVID-19? Like NOW?!?!

Seriously. It seems there was an axe to grind and that there people more than eager to celebrate and support it.

It is a piece for the general public. I went through multiple rounds of revision w/ my Time piece because they wanted less citation and did not think the public would get some of the deep specifics or even terminology I thought was necessary to explain. Public writing is a skill.
