your writing is beautiful! thanks for sharing this! ive also been thinking a lot lately about the "machine" of academia... so much of it is about slapping a coat of paint on to appear progressive and diverse while doing everything it can to uphold systems of white supremacy, patriarchy, cisheteronormativity, etc... i love the work but not the environment. but thanks again for sharing such a thoughtful piece!
hehe yess!!! my site name comes from it too!! ^^ mabelpod near and dear to me forever <3
I don't understand all those classics euphemisms...
