Less than amusingly: my “responsibilities agreement” required for employment /UNM…

…forbids me, a grad student, from having sex/dating faculty.

I have not yet made potentially career limiting move (like it matters) of asking if faculty is forbidden from sex/relat w/me…

I suppose that…

I am so upset about this and I am ready to fight someone. Ghastly, infuriating, grotesque, vile clout chasing that it’s really hurting people.

Again, I'm not at all even a little bit claiming to have been a person who was really close to Alice Wong.

I've curated my experience on this site such I don't think I'd see it even if it were happening here, but I have seen it happening across other social media sites.

If you see it? I want you to know that you should not participate.

There are people who knew Alice Wong much better than I did, and you should turn to them for their insights and for Alice's work that they are sharing (see, eg, @sesmith.lol), I post to say only this:

If you're engaged in a witch-hunt of some of her closest friends, you demean her memory.

Watching people who didn't know Alice use her and use her death for their own ends in a way that necessitates the erasure of her agency is really ... fucked.
