      I want to highlight that there has been a lot of work by black women documenting *exactly this* this for years. In addition to @digitalsista, please look for (and credit work by) @so_treu, @sassycrass, @BlackAmazon among many others—and the hashtag. #YourSlipIsShowing.https://twitter.com/oneunderscore__/status/1299122016113614850 …

      Yesterday, I disagreed with another academic who implied tech criticism as something coming from elite academia. My experience is the opposite. Marginalized scholars have been shouting into the void & mostly being ignored. A few from elite schools are jumping in finally—but late.

          As usually happens, the work of marginal scholars is sometimes scattered in hashtags, not in top articles. But— ahem—I've seen many praise incoherent and unreadable prose from Ivy professors, so maybe we can show a similar patience to work that's actually good but not "polished."

          When I see mediocre work that had resources put behind it with a big high-status name behind it praised to high haven, and I then look at brilliant, prescient work that just hasn't had any of that: time to reflect, feedback, editors, a publisher with status and think... what if?

          So, the reason to expand who we support with all that— the resources and time necessary to make people's work more accessible and developed—and then to treat it with due respect and credit isn't just because of equity concerns. We're depriving ourselves of excellence *we* need.

          Replying to @zeynep

          marginalized scholars have to learn it bc often they're so often attacked and they have to protect themselves, is my general assumption
