    Karen Tongson aka Bear of Easttown Retweeted BDF (Black diaspora faggotry)

    For many of us who’ve spent entire lives & careers in which the only way to survive has been to “produce,” our continued “production” is at once a trauma response, and a way out of the woods not only for ourselves, but also the people & communities we love and are beholden to.https://twitter.com/blacklikewho/status/1363860676100431872 …

    I have been thinking about how to respond to the charge of academics still producing as usual during a pandemic. First not all “production” is the same. Some are working to literally keep sane. Others are working to try and seize the urgencies of our now and intervene is harm

        The vitriol should be directed at institutions that have always assigned disproportionate value to what some of us produce over others (twice as hard for half as much), not at those who feel imperiled by the “merit scarcity” reserved for the usual suspects / usual politics.

        Replying to @inlandemperor

        I'd nuance this to say that there's a difference between academics who produce, and those who brag/humblebrag about producing during this time, almost as a putdown to others. I suspect that a lot of the criticism is really aimed at that phenomenon without explicitly naming it.

        Replying to @racquelgates

        I’d also acknowledge, though, that academia has set itself up as an economy that only recognizes “personhood” viz. the institution. As much as we all try to get on w/ the rest of our lives, some have (for this reason) poured themselves entirely into seeking recognition thru it.
