1/ This is the most persistent myth of academia I have encountered in my career: there is no disinterested position from which to objectively study/teach history, culture, etc. You have to be white to believe this. The medieval university we inherited was political & still is.

Last night I couldn’t sleep (what’s new), so naturally I spent 3 hours going down the Twitter rabbit hole of white women in the suburbs who love Harris but are married to a male Trump supporter. It’s this whole other world of women of all ages sharing their plans and fears. 🧵

I just find it funny that all the academics chastising me (& anyone) for worrying abt teaching the day after the election are men. it makes sense: they aren’t used to the emotional labor demanded of female profs any given day & the outcome isn’t nearly as much of a blow for them.
