As she also decided to lock replies so one cannot actually respond. How is this an apology if you do not actually apologize specifically to MRO. #BrightAgesSoWhite The actual violent harm has not been named specifically or directed to the person who was targeted. #SlaveryArchive
Because really folks. MRO already had fascist sock puppet accounts coming to harass her by pulling pictures from the internet. Discussing more conspiracy theories about how she is not Black etc. How is this reparative if you are not addressing her? #SlaveryArchive

#MedievalTwitter#ShakeRace#RaceB4Race So this is Open Access. This was from the first RaceB4Race conference. But I would like to discuss the long journey this took to get published. Thread. 1/ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/17414113/2…
The conference happened in January 2019 because of Academic REJECTION. Specifically Rejected from the @KzooICMS in 2019 of all the Medievalists of Color sessions (except the one where we basically do diversity labor for white people). 2/

#AcademicTwitter#MLA2022 PSA and CW for English Department job seekers. This is a story in which I have gotten permission from the PH.D. student to share, though I am not going to mention specific names. It involves an English Dept. search for an ethnic studies candidate at 1/
a PWI and R1 institution in the Pacific Northwest. This Ph.D. candidate got an interview with the school and received an email on Dec. 7th from the department's admin. assistant to set up this interview and then a direct email on Dec. 10th from the chair of the search. 2/

Part II. Thread. Medieval White Rage & the Alt-Medieval. #MedievalTwitter#ShakeRace#RaceB4Race#LitPOC I reference Carol Anderson's work b/c she points to how far white grievance will go into violent white rage during Jim Crow & school desegregation. What will white ppl do 27/
if their white privilege & place in their world is seen as "threatened" by BIPOC ppl. They will push back but they also will go to white rage violence to stop it & the change for equity & justice. Medieval Studies has an entire alt-medieval group entirely based on white rage 28/

So ppl still friends w/ this alt-medieval lot & supporting them digitally & F2F & ppl who call out trying to out pseudonymous accts as VIOLENCE, Halsall was fine violently outing MRO's previous account even though he knew about her violent stalkers. 9/
I believe PH taped me at @IMC_Leeds in 2018 since he was at both my advertised sessions. Milo wrote a 13,000 hit piece on me (a bad diss. chapter on mysticism) & released the illegal tape of me & @prof_gabriele 10/

#MedievalTwitter#ShakeRace#RaceB4Race#Bigger6#BiPOC18#VicPOC#POC19#LitPOC Medieval White Rage. This is literally a condensed version of a chapter in my book Alt-Medieval. A book by the way that I am slowing revising b/c (since it's Mental Health Awareness Month) of PTSD 1/
I have an excellent therapist, but it's still trauma work. I discuss this in this podcast which dropped this month. So this entire alt-medieval group have their own medieval, white supremacist 4chan space called Medieval Studies: State of the Field. 2/ podcast.digitalmedievalist.org/episode-5-glob…

#MedievalTwitter#ShakeRace#RaceB4Race#LitPOC This is a PSA for an incident that happened earlier that smacked of some overt misogynoir. A bunch of those tweets have been erased but I am tweeting now to discuss some things related to ideas of BIPOC scholars & "rigor." 1/#MedievalTwitter#ShakeRace#RaceB4Race#LitPOC There are certain premodern study "skills" or "areas" that white premodern studies loves to wave around as the only way to go & use it as some sort of cudgel for gatekeeping that smacks of a kind of "white premodern only" 2/

Anatomy of Disinformation (Academic, small-scale ecosystem style) A Long, long Thread. 1/
I have mostly been away from Twitter this week b/c personal/family/work stuff including looming work deadlines, end of semester teaching/meetings/etc., and now I am managing not just childcare, but eldercare, so I literally am living the Gen-X sandwich life. 2/

#MedievalTwitter#ShakeRace#RaceB4Race This is a long thread that addresses Safety & Secret FB Groups: There are two separate things happening that Abby Ang has conflated as one thing. The secret FB group is separate from the scholarly activist org. Medievalists of Color.
2/ This is made clear in the Constitution. The secret FB group is there for different BIPOC scholars in medieval studies as a safe space to share safety information, safety resources, address potential violence or other harms targeting various group members;

#MedievalTwitter h/t to @DanielleGAllor for reminding me of the critical medieval studies bibliography on rape culture. Let's look at the titles of these texts to make clear the utter disingenuous/libelous and/or badly researched comments of @Real_HistoryGuy et. al. 1/@DanielleGAllor@Real_HistoryGuy#MedievalTwitter We can begin w/ Kathryn Gradval's 1991 book Ravishing Maidens: Writing Rape in Medieval French Lit. and Law. Hmmm, so are you saying Kathryn Gradval's title is also an indication that "she wants to ravish maidens". 🤔 amzn.to/2QPZJlr

#MedievalTwitter@KristenCarella So I am going to do this thread to directly address issues that have come up in the last several days. So bear w/ me folks, it is going to be long. 1/#MedievalTwitter It has been announced that ISXX has appointed a new director. However, a number of us who have asked for the org to address its racism, its toxic masculinity, its sexual predator problem, are not seeing this appointment as anything but tokenism. 2/
