Woot! Here’s the online zine I recently started working on. The newest issue just came out, and I wrote an article for it! Non-fiction is normally not my forte, but I wanted to give it a shot. I’m fairly pleased with the result. My article is called “Learning the Splits.” For context, this is a zine put out by an asexual forum (AVEN), and this issue’s topic was split orientations.

Do you ever start bullshitting a paper, and then look over it halfway through and think, ’…Wait a minute, I could be onto something here.’

this is the definition of college.

Literally I was writing a paper on Asian salt water crocodiles, like a simple about them paper for a college class, and I started noticing some inconsistencies in the scientific papers I was sourcing and I accidentally discovered that the crocodile has been misdiagnosed as least concerned on the endangered species list when they should be classified as endangered and now my professor is having me write a formal report to the international Red List to have them reclassified and all I wanted to do was write this paper on an animal I thought was cool and now I’m considered an expert on this species…

Abstracts are essentially just TLDRs for research papers.

closing the 20 tabs you used for a finished essay = euphoric calmness

Tip for all my student readers: if you’re too lazy to use a bibliography creator like NoodleBib or RefWorks, let Google generate your bibliography entries for you. All you have to do is google the article/book title in Google Scholar, click “cite” at the bottom of the search result, and copy either the MLA, APA, or Chicago cite into your word document. 

Signal boost because omg how did I not know this in college?

Since registration is starting soon I figure this is ample time to remind the six people who look at my Tumblr that citing your sources is really important in college and that this will be your best friend forever.

If you’re in high school and want to go to college? Learn to source! You’ll be way ahead of the curve and it’s 100% more important than knowing what the hell a predicate nominative is.

I use http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/ to figure out how to cite for my papers, and it’s been quite useful for the three years I’ve been at this!

i’ve compiled a huge google drive folder of anarchist, socialist, feminist, anti-colonial, anti-imperial books+ essays, crip + disability theory, queer theory, critical race theory, film theory, transnational + diaspora trauma study essays, and writings that combine all of the above

some essays i’ve got from school, most of the books and some essays r from beautiful people on the internet

to be updated as often as i get more shit. which is fairly often~

new categories r: abuse, domestic violence, consent, rape // film theory +chinese film +soviet film // ananarchism+socialism // anti-prison // crip theory + other disability theory // diaspora, transnational trauma // education // empire + hegemony (anti-colonial/imperial, etc) // feminism, womanism, black feminism // gender + queer theory // history // MENA (middle east/north africa // misc essays // novels // palestine // philosophy (sorry) // pop culture + tv analysis // race,  ethnicity, racism, antisemitism // religion // resistance theory // science (ideology, philosophy, history // yiddishkeit

categories r growing + changing as i put more time into organizing these files and receive more stuff to add. also a lot of the new stuff i’ve received from other ppl i havent had time to look thru properly so i know i’ve miscategorised some stuff but w/e ill get to that in the summer. if u have anything u’d like to add to this drive, please email me @ [email protected]
