I do love this kind of troll -
What makes you think I'm not "working class"?
Try and answer that without being patronising. Some of read, write and can use big long word y'know. https://twitter.com/BeardedBrownMa1/status/1384835202799783938

Honestly people who call themselves "working class" academics are the worst purveyors of IDPOL. Have a bit of self-awareness. No one else outside academia see's you in that way so suck it up and moan to your middle class colleagues in the academy about it where it is relevant.
It's relative. If I go back to my home town with an LLM and a career working in national museums, is anyone gonna see me as being in the same 'social class' as when I left and how I grew up? No they're not. That's just something I need to accept. Caught between two places.
My last job in my town was working in the Avon warehouse and now I work for places I'd never even heard off before I went to Uni as a mature student. I make sure the work I do centres working class histories but it would be silly to pretend I am still the girl in the warehouse.
