@schuh_melissa Baily, prior to a much needed haircut, is sending you the fluffiest of love!! Love from me too, though somewhat less fluffy.

[Abby Fagan @GailsFagan]

@MaahoMay @UNC_Press Congratulations, Mahshid!!! I’m so excited for you! What wonderful validation 🤗🤗🤗

[Jess A. Goldberg 🇵🇸 @KempoJesse]

A grad student asked me this week, "How do you do the kind of work you want to do without reproducing the unjust power hierarchies of academia?"

I can't, and none of us can, and we should stop pretending like we can be pure radicals inside the academy. 🧵

[Abby Fagan @GailsFagan]

@schuh_melissa Blargh! They made the wrong decision. But I’m so glad you made the short list! Hugs!!

@jwbernier I'm late to the party, but Yacovone's 1988 article calling folks to do work on Black temperance movement is important; work on William Wells Brown might also be helpful. Am happy to connect on this, as needed!

@DevilDoctoressa @jwbernier Oh, Ruth!

@S_Mittermeier Off topic, but that human has pheromones that travel through the Ethernet

@historleans @CarletonCollege Congratulations!! Bittersweet for folks in Germany, but such wonderful news anyway!

@azeriartiko @S_Mittermeier @schuh_melissa @Dori_Kiel But you nailed it, though? Huzzah!

[Abby Fagan @GailsFagan]

I have the absolute privilege of hearing @schuh_melissa speak again. I wish you all could be here. Melissa, you are the most powerful speaker. I am so moved by your content, your ethics, your willingness to be vulnerable in this space, the way you use the sonority of your voice.

@schuh_melissa My entire feed is just filled with DGfA bread tweets and I’m so thankful. So. Thankful.

[Abby Fagan @GailsFagan]

@schuh_melissa @Dori_Kiel I was just yelling (enthusiasm) to my colleagues about how thoughtful and care-full these gifts were. I was so excited that I forgot to also yell about how delicious this bread is. Thank you! I feel so held in my heart and nourished (and exhausted, but not because of the bread).

[Abby Fagan @GailsFagan]

@Dori_Kiel So much from likewise!!!

[Abby Fagan @GailsFagan]

I learned so much this weekend at #ActivismAndAcademia22 about listening to and responding actively and materially to others’ needs. It was liberating. It was radically, mutually respectful. It was love. It. Was. Not. Hard. Thank you @Dori_Kiel for everything, you are magic.

Second day of #ActivismAndAcademia22. I’m overwhelmed and almost in tears to be in community with a small group of people organizing for anti-racism, access, and justice … in a slow way, constantly checking on each other’s access. Everyone carefully masked. Hybrid format. (1/2)

[Abby Fagan @GailsFagan]

Thank you @PriceMargaret @schuh_melissa @dy_dilarayilmaz @VickIAl69280036 @time_flies_like @WegnerGesine @QueerCripPain @Gufia and so many more for your presences, interventions, contributions, and for all the hope.

[Abby Fagan @GailsFagan]

@schuh_melissa @IMJacksonStone @Dori_Kiel You absolutely do and absolutely did today!

[Abby Fagan @GailsFagan]

@Dori_Kiel @schuh_melissa Absolutely mutual feels
