After serving in the role since 2018, fall semester was my last as the Director of Composition (aka the WPA) at my institution. I decided over Memorial Day weekend that I needed to step down as the WPA, then I sat with the decision for over a month before I told my chair. 🧵

I joined Bluesky over a year ago, but let my account languish bc few people in my field were active here. Are we really doing it this time, writing studies people? In case we are: I study the literacies and identities of marginalized groups. I’m an associate prof and WPA at Miami (OH).

I feel this in my bones. In early career, I had access to more support and flexible funding. As I transitioned to mid-career, not only did a lot of those buffers go away, I was taking on more institutional responsibility, including to fix systemic issues and protect more people.
I wish there was an easier way to communicate to early career people what being at the next stage is actually like.

You can describe it, but it’s like an embodied experience that’s very hard to help people really understand. There’s no analog.

Any system of morals that predisposes that hard work is inherently good for you and that things that make life easier are innately suspect is always going to be fundamentally prejudiced against the disabled.

They will try anything to subvert elections and ignore the will of the people. Tuesday night didn’t end the fight; it’s only beginning.

Every time people say the next generation of AI will be better, remember that they mean they’re dumping orders of magnitude more environmental damage into the thing, with no clear idea how they’ll solve the biggest issues it has.

Multiple things can be true at once:

1. Oct 7th was the worst collective trauma Jews have experienced in our lifetimes

2. The war on Gaza is a horror

3. Antisemitism is rising

4. Islamophobia is rising

Those trying to use one of these to cancel others are making things worse
