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.

Yes! That's why it's so important to open the ranks to first-gen folks, and others from less-privileged backgrounds. I'd also support sabbaticals and rotations outside of academia, etc. It's an immense privilege and opportunity to be able to go deep, but can create blind spots.
