most of academic Twitter I follow is supportive and informative. Academia as a profession has its share of pettiness and politics but what job doesn’t?

Replying to @braydenk
Academics tend to have little experience outside an educational institution. School -> more school -> academic job and that distorts the baseline. There's certainly pettiness (humans!) and politics (humans!) but OMG, relatively speaking, I know live in an oasis of care & support.

I'm often surprised how many of my colleagues have academic parents! More distortion. I have this conversation a lot with other first-gen, immigrant and/or corporate-escapee colleagues. Sure, there are issues but can you believe our luck compared to what we know of the world?
