Twitter thread...small bursts or statements. The tweets require us to dig in further to the links, etc. to access longer information. The tweet is personal and limited. Information is not cited (but can be linked at times to cited information). But not all the links are vetted for information. Non peer reviewed piece of language (but does interact with community of networked clusters)...Therefore, it also offers an alternative to academic work/writing (or a new kind of academic work) which allows more voices to be heard/explored. But information is often quick and therefore can be controversial. The swiftness of the medium can appeal to the emotional. Can be stream of consciousness and of the moment. While it is an open medium and invites many voices, it can also be driven by the popular (who gets retweeted, number of followers, etc.).

" That’s because, even in the #MeToo era, we still punish victims for not being perfect and excuse the powerful who act like monsters. The misogyny at the root of gender inequality directs the way we respond to high-profile cases of misconduct like gravity. It’s everywhere, it’s invisible, and it’s inescapable." This section summarizes the crux of the matter. 

 

 Power can be removed from systematic offenders in ways that change power-laden relationships.

 Harassment and discrimination have for too long disabled the full participation of the global social majority in academic life.
