At no point in history have women smeared hallucinogens on broomsticks and then shoved them up their vaginas and it shouldn't take a medieval historian (me) to tell you that. Think about splinters. Fuck's sake.

Nothing has made me feel better about my recent career move than the news that my new institution will require vaccination this Fall while my former employer is sticking with the magical thinking approach.

So it's "I GOT INTO A PHD PROGRAM 🎉😭" and "tenured sexual abusers face absolutely zero consequences! And are in fact often promoted!!" season.
I hope it's clear to us all that "but abuse also happens outside academia" is highly disingenuous. Yes, of course it does. Stop deflecting. The issue isn't whether terrible people work elsewhere, but that abuse is systemically enabled in academia in ways it can't be elsewhere.

I remain fascinated that these Spanish empire fans think I give a toss about the reputation of the British empire. Both were bad. (And sometimes good, although good & bad are too simplistic ideas here anyway.) In their own historically specific & contingent ways. That’s history.

We talk about how academia leads us into long-distance romantic relationships. But friendship also becomes long-distance. It can be hard to stay friends with people who live far away, and to make new friends, to open up to new people, every time you move.
