There is no reward for centering outreach and education and like I know that. It just still hurts.

People saw their Black colleagues get no credit for their work, consistently dismissed, and constantly undermined and never intervened.
You thought that kind of apathy wouldn't come back around? What happens to Black people first is always scheduled for everyone else.

Academia is pretty bad at solidarity. I think the culture is one of many individuals who may happen to share building space, but rarely that those people are ever part of a team working toward shared goals - even within a single department, there is often a sense of many individuals, no whole.
In the past five years, higher ed has demonstrated that it's a soft target for right-wing culture war attacks. Too many are willing to sacrifice part of the sector to protect the rest, as parochial interests dictate. That shows weakness and guarantees a loss for the whole sector.

lol the academy thinks that it is above the fray, that science stands outside of politics, and that objectivity trumps all.
Now folks are quickly learning that everything, and I do mean everything, is political. And knowing that and responding accordingly is paramount.
