Academia is so much poorer for the drive to coin terms and claim to be the first to do X, rather than being in conversation and relation to each other and our work. This is clearly a response to the confluence of labor conditions and ego, but we don’t have to capitulate to it.

This thread by @bryandaniellowe is so interesting -- I can't wait to share it with my Japanese history survey class in January. Thanks, @bryandaniellowe for your wonderful and insightful threads.
