GOD BLESS PATTI LUPONE BECAUSE SHE SAID THAT WITH HER ENTIRE CHEST 😭🫡
So it's come my attention that there are a lot of students, particularly in humanities and social sciences disciplines, who need to hear this, so here goes:
Do the readings.
Oh my God, just do the readings. I promise, it gets easier once you get into the habit of it.
What makes a good student? Doing the readings. Literally just doing the readings is enough to make you a good student.
The readings *are* the course. The lectures are just priming you for the readings. The tutorials and seminars are just how we collectively process the readings. If the readings were intended to be optional, they would have been listed under the "optional readings" heading.
I know this isn’t feasible for everyone but instead of thinking of chapters and pages you could try to set aside designated reading time daily.
Seriously turn off or put away your phone/laptop (unless you read on them) for however long is appropriate for your current courses (30m-90m is good for an average reader unless you’re in hefty lit and classics courses). Just get through as much as you can, whether you end up reading ahead or you don’t finish.
For me, this was the first hour the library was open, 7-8am. I never had a conflict that early, so I would have breakfast and go straight into my reading hour. If I didn’t have class reading (rare: English/Philosophy student), I read for pleasure, so it stopped being a drag and just became part of my routine.
I printed all the readings out and covered them with annotations as I read. This meant if I had thoughts or questions I could put them right there and keep going, rather than getting distracted by my own brain.
It's also worth noting that readings for a lot of humanities/social sciences aren't going to be like the "read x pages in the textbook" for, say, biology or math.
By which I mean: You are not trying to cram the entire reading's worth of information into your brain.
For a biology class, your assigned reading will cover a few topics, explain them, etc, and you're trying to learn those topics. Then you go to the lecture and the professor explains them in more detail and gives you some examples/demonstrations.
That's not how a lot of humanities classes work. When I assign my philosophy students a paper to read, I'm not expecting that they'll come back to me having memorized details or even necessarily understood the whole thing. I'm expecting that they will have a general picture of the structure of the argument, know what the author's point was, what the supporting premises were, and have some idea of how it all goes together.
The lecture is where I help them tease out the full picture of what's going on, evaluate the argument for strengths and weaknesses, and give more context for how the paper fits into the wider conversation of the discipline.
This is why your readings for humanities classes are going to be so much longer! You're not expected to memorize shit from the readings. You're not even expected to always come in having understood all of what you read. Hell, even in my graduate seminars I'd generally shoot for about 70-80% understanding of readings, and then go to class and work with my classmates and our professor to get the rest of it nailed down.
Also, having questions after doing a reading for a humanities class is a GOOD thing. Like, obviously coming to class with questions about the assigned readings is always okay, but in a humanities class it is actively good. And they don't have to be "deep" questions, either.
Examples of questions I'd love to see more from my students:
How did this premise support the argument?
What was the point of this analogy?
Was this referencing something else?
The author kept using [phrase or term] and I couldn't figure out why. What's up with that?
The author is acting like [premise or idea] is just widely accepted, but I've never heard of it before. What is it?
If [premise] were true, wouldn't that also mean [thing the author probably wouldn't like]?
I feel like something went sideways in here somewhere, does this argument actually work?
Hang on, where did that come from?
These are Good Questions, and they are the kinds of questions you should be asking yourself while you're reading!
Getting the answers to these questions, or having your prof help you figure them out, is how you're actually going to learn the skills they're trying to teach you!
“our teeth and ambitions are bared” is a zeugma
and it’s a zeugma where one of the words is literal and one is metaphorical which is the BEST KIND
I didn’t know about zeugmas until just now! That is so awesome, everybody:
zeug·ma ˈzo͞oɡmə/
noun
a figure of speech in which a word applies to two others in different senses (e.g.,John and his license expired last week ) or to two others of which it semantically suits only one (e.g., with weeping eyes and hearts ).
ISN’T THAT AWESOME??
#in english class in high school my teacher had us write our own zeugmas in class#and one guy came up with ‘he fell from her favor… and the window’#i am forever looking for opportunities to use that one

IT HAS A NAMEEEE!! OH MY GOD!!!
Reblogging this to remember it in the morning it’s such a useful concept
I can't exactly explain why, but one of my favorite ways games fuck with the player is when they begin attacking your notions of what's safe and what isn't. normally safe hub areas turning into fully fledged stages with enemies, characters attacking you via ui elements, that kinda thing. always excites me even when it isn't meant to be meta

i am actually very normal about everything that has ever happened to me
when cats stretch it looks SO satisfying like I just know it feels better than human stretching
especially when they make a prrrrt noise during the stretch...
Hired a moving company and they sent four strong, strapping, beautiful lads to my house to disassemble my furniture and move all my things. I loved them. I got them pizza. They told me moving company gossip. I missed them one minute after they left. My moving lads. Come back to me. You're so strong and so well trained in safe lifting
I miss my moving men they took such good care of me and they were so handsome and beautiful and strong and efficient and they wrapped all my furniture up in plastic and they loved that I got pizza for them and they knew how to safely drive the big big truck. Come back to me moving men
Moving men please come move me in your big strong arms in a way that complies with local safety regulations and the company's values
One of the men had a dangling earring and a stud, so I told him I liked his earrings. So he told me about how when he first got his ears pierced, he lost a stud and had to borrow an earring from his girlfriend to keep the hole from closing up. Well the only one she had to lend him was a dangling pink fuzzy duck. And everyone made fun of him for wearing it until they realized he didn't give a fuck what they thought. So now he always wears one stud and one dangling earring.
He told me this story while manhandling my entire couch. And I'm supposed to be normal about this? I'm bisexual

i love when an author truly understands a character so well that they can just put said character in any situation and still have them act correctly. like yeah okay hes a cat cafe owner. hes a middle school teacher. hes a dog. and hes acting exactly how he would act if he was a dog.
ilove people who work at front desks of things. i can walk into a building and go to the desk and i ask how do i do this thing. and then they just fucking tell me !!!!
i walked into my college found the first desk and asked hey where do i pay my student fees. did that. ok where i do find the academic advisor? got the general direction, went up to the first desk i saw, asked where to go to drop a class .awesome. went to the bookstore, walked up to the desk, asked how to find out what textbooks i need. and AGAIN they had answers for me. this is so cool thank you desk people
no this is so real actually !! it always feels like you'll be expected to know everything when you do Adult Things but you don't, actually, you just need to know who to ask
