I received unsolicited tenure "advice" from a sr. scholar. 1)My outspoken personality turns colleagues off. 2)Supporting BLM is risky. 3)Don& #39;t go around telling people "I& #39;m not worried bout tenure" (I& #39;m not, I work my butt off). 4)Don& #39;t give anyone a reason to vote against you.

PS. I took this as BAD advice from 1 scholar. Yes, it was upsetting. But, I need 2 believe that academe is changing 4 the better&that these POVs are slowly being pushed out. In the end, I CHOOSE 2 model a different approach for up&coming scholars. Show up authentically if u want.

Also, for the folks who (like me) dig esoteric tarot divination https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤗" title="Umarmendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Umarmendes Gesicht">...this is the card I pulled after the encounter.
