ALT IT'S 2023: We're ending fieldwork harassment & academic abuse. We're treating animals, nature & ourselves with respect. We're centering survivor's voices & supporting their healing. We're preventing harm, stopping trauma cycles, & not having to prove ourselves to anyone by enduring hardship. We're taking breaks, resting without guilt & not valuing our self worth based on what we produce. We're interupting victim blaming & refusing to reproduce a culture that doesn't serve us. We're handing shame back to perpetrators. We're setting the pain of trauma down & walking forward without it. We're rejecting exploitation, free labor & calling out mistreatment. We're no longer honoring "policy" over "justice". We're demanding accountability & unburdoning the secrets we've been made to hold to maintain the status quo. We're making a new academic tradition of solidarity, respect, and self determination. We're maximizing our joy & allowing ourselves time. Abusers have no power here.
