Mark your callendars for virtual session 720 @MLAnews #MLA23. @triciamatthew and I will be speaking with Prof. Dan-el Padilla Peralta, Dr. Mary Rambaran-Olm, Dr. Eileen Joy, and Prof. Sunny Singh about online harassment of marginalized people, particularly scholars of color.

@DrDadabhoy @triciamatthew @MLAnews Do think this panel could open access & live streamed? I’m not able to attend MLA—the financial burdens for someone choosing a career outside of “traditional” academia being just one of the hurdles. BUT this topic is SO important. I hope somehow I can hear your talks!!

@JaneEvaBaxter1 I've known several professor who have refused to use their personal phones out of principle & so their schools eventually gave them keychain dongles like made by fortitoken that generate a unique code for them when needed.

@wilkicg Ohhhhhhh, those 15 minutes would have felt like 15 hours if I had experienced it. You probably need to take a nap.

I am looking forward to working with mid-career scholars in the summer of 2023 at the Second Book Institute at the U of Tulsa!

Also true for those of us who work outside of the academy but with academics.

[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. 🧵

Twitter has taken to flagging my tweets on a regular basis or someone is recording me, trolling me. read the sermon. Retweet if you like it.

[It's A G Thing @WilGafney]

On the road again. See my preaching and lecturing schedule here https://t.co/6z3OMUFKeI. Princeton is up next, 18 September. Philly, New Jersey and New York, come through.

Water crises don’t just happen; they’re produced by decades of sustained neglect.

Lots of cries of shock and alarm, but the truth is that they knowingly planted seeds that let disaster bloom.

[It's A G Thing @WilGafney]

It’s a deliberate set up. They could spend that time and money on more power mode or even intermediate steps.

[It's A G Thing @WilGafney]

Note Twitter is still putting constant warnings on my tweets for no reason. I am clearly under surveillance.

[It's A G Thing @WilGafney]

If this white man on @CNN doesn’t stop calling Serena and Coco “articulate - even off the court!” and “intelligent” like that’s a surprise then they need to take him off the air.

[It's A G Thing @WilGafney]

Twitter is still putting constant warnings on my tweets for no reason. I am clearly under surveillance. This time I pointed out the white man calling Serena and Coco articulate. Maybe it’s because I identified him as white.

[It's A G Thing @WilGafney]

Twitter has been flagging my tweets, five in the last seven days including this one just now. Retweet the heck out of it and this too.

4 books on top was my order this week. When I order from Harriett's, I love that I from a Black owned store, but I get my books as quickly (1 day difference in my experience) than ordering from a company I will not name here. Let's keep supporting Harriett's!! @harriettsbooks

[Harriett’s Bookshop @harriettsbooks]

We’ve only had a few customers the last few weeks. Thankful for those who are helping to keep us afloat.

Yes, to answer many of the DMs I am receiving right now:

Yes, I am taking new coaching clients. I am taking new clients who want to work on their writing & their research.

All of these scenarios, I’ve heard dozens & dozens of times.

And it really IS possible to create a life rhythm where happiness & productivity both happen for you. It looks different for each client. But it’s possible.
