incredible how "the hungry deserve food" and “the sick deserve medicine” are radical communist beliefs in 2017

“When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist.” Hélder Câmara

i hope the younger lgbt+ youth (12-16) on here knows that it’s okay to play with identities. it’s okay to try out a label for a month, decided it’s not for you, and then pick up another one. you aren’t “betraying your community”, you’re figuring yourself out at an age that- you know- you figure yourself out in! do what works for you. if you don’t like labels, ditch them! if a label resonates with you deeply, try playing around with it! it’s normal. don’t be afraid.

This is okay for adults, too! If you’re 20 or 30 or 40 or older and you’re finding a new label or wondering if maybe the old ones don’t quite fit, that’s okay. Everybody has a different experience and we’re always learning new things about ourselves. Don’t be afraid to explore labels and feelings as you continue to discover who you are.

“in this essay i will explore” memes piss me off because it implies y’all still using first person pronouns when writing academically. childish ass

In this essay, this writer will explore the implications of pretending that one’s own personal view is not part of one’s essay, and the inaccessibility of academia related to established custom of artificial detachment.

In this essay, I will demonstrate that the blanket ban on first-person pronouns in high-school and some university English classes is poorly understood and hastily adopted as a result. I will further illustrate that it is a mere substitute for explaining to inexperienced writers that excessive use of phrases like “I think” or “I believe” is unnecessary and rhetorically weakens academic writing, and that opinions expressed in an essay are already assumed to be those of the author. Finally, I will address strategies for effectively conveying that information to students, who often find it difficult to grasp.

In this essay, passive voice will be used throughout in order to distance the work done from any researchers, or, in reality, kind of imply all experiments were done by magical lab gremlins and the results were simply recorded. 

In this essay, I will use the first person pronoun as a bludgeoning weapon

In this essay, you may find the use of second person surprising.

At this point, it may prove helpful to discuss the prevalence of unnecessary wordiness in academic writing and literature, to the extent that the presence of an essay may not actually be acknowledged in the essay itself, a custom which may have developed as a result of the needs of certain authors insecure in their writing or argument to sound more intelligent than they actually feel.

Jesus fucking Christ!

You cowards better reblogged this

Wish I’d known this when an ex-friend was doxxing me and I ended up in psychiatric inpatient.

That moment when fiction really will affect reality is, when you bully someone online over it and get arrested for it.

“Shh, it’s alright,” the villain said. “You’re doing beautifully and I’m so proud of you. But that’s enough now. It was cruel of them to make you fight me - you could never have won. It’s not your fault.”

The ancient and powerful villain may have had a calm and gentle face as he spoke, but he was furious, not at the hero, but the gods for continually sending kids and teenagers to fight their battles.

*passionately thinks about story instead of writing it*
