Let's normalize sharing our work when people ask for it and asking scholars for their work.
Friends, if there's an article out there you want to read and you don't have access, just reach out!

1. Academic publishing is a cartel. Sometimes it is benevolent and helpful, but mostly it gatekeeps
2. Most academics are FLOORED when people ask because that means that 11 people will now have read articles we spent years on

3. Many of us can't post all our work publicly without getting in trouble, but we can share if someone sends an email
4. Not all academics are free to publish open access: some departments and institutions still expect certain journals for tenure and promotion

academic work should be available to everyone but we live in a late capitalist dystopia, our universities struggle with ethics and vision, and individuals get lost in the mix.
So, friends: if you want to read something, ask. Academics, if someone asks, share. And do it quickly.
