repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

I got to go back to duke to give a talk named after Nancy Armstrong & Len Tennenhouse, and I could barely keep it together trying to explain how @zugenia.bsky.social @profchander.bsky.social & so many others are a kind of extended kinship network of ppl who’ve benefited from Nancy’s partisan backing

I think one of the biggest mistakes we’ve made in academia over the last few years was treating tenure and academic freedom as a guaranteed right and not a labor relation. Had more understood it as the latter perhaps we would have been better prepared to protect it

“I’m emotionally shellshocked right now,” said one professor in the Texas Tech system. “What does it say about academic freedom? It says we don’t have it.”

Academia.edu has always been a scam to gamify & monetize the psychic damage of twilight-phase academic neoliberalism: this person looked you up, that person mentioned you, your work matters. Intellectual as individual brand-builder. The rights stuff is awful but the basic concept is bad enough

“You also now must fear one another. Under the new normal, a single student can record a class discussion, fail to protect your identity, and post it online in violation of the safeguards provided by Student Rule 24 and FERPA, dragging you & your classmates into a national scandal without consent.”
