im noticing that for a lot of americans “free palestine” has been an ideological motto and symbol rather than them actually believing in their heart that freedom is attainable and necessary

palestinians deserve the right to be able to travel freely in our homeland. to even visit our homeland. for us to have citizenship and rights to our own country. to grow our plants. practice our religions. live without fear that our children can be kidnapped by israeli forces on their violent whims. to not have our life savings poured into building a home for our families that are torn down without real warning by israeli bulldozers. to no longer be refugees. like this is real life. this is real.

we don’t want to be reduced to a never ending slogan. we want to put down our need for resistance. to rest & to live.

Glad Zionists think these are acceptable things to write about and say aloud so we don’t have to waste our time going back and forth with “it’s just about hamas!” arguments. It was never just about hamas

okay i’m really sorry if you already did something like this…but do you have any advice on how to do proper research? i love writing essays and i’m thinking abt practicing doing research papers, but i don’t really know how? like i know you’re supposed to use sources that use .gov and stuff, but how do i find them?

ALSO HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🩷🩷🩷

Ok I’m just gonna do a quick version, but I’ll 100% do more in-depth if anyone wants!!

Quick notes: I know about arts and humanities, not STEM, so that’s what I’m focusing on. Also, I do my essays for fun when I have TIME (a rarity these days) so do as I say and not necessarily what I do lmao.

Start with what you know

I don’t mean topic-wise (tho that too). Wikipedia is not a source, but the reference section on a Wikipedia article can be a very good jumping off point.

Also, Google Scholar my beloved!

Newspapers are a good, reliable source. Even if the newspaper is utter tosh, it represents the views of its readership, and therefore can be used. You mention .gov, and yup! That too!

Oh and 12ft.io is my gift to you on this fine February day.

If you don’t know the names of the famous essays, you’re firing keywords into Google Scholar, and you’ll get some ideas!!

This is just off the top of my head bc I’m just doing a quick one considering it’s my birthday lol, but like I said, I will put more effort into this if you want!!

And as a last note: @apricitystudies shares her favourite essays etc every month!! So, depending on what you’re interested in, it’s useful to have some vetted by someone else lol

friday, february 2nd, 2024 | 17/100 days of productivity

hooray for friday! I stressed myself out a bit this morning by sleeping in and then putting too much on my todo list, but I took the time to figure out why I was stressed and pushed some tasks until tomorrow. I'm looking forward to resting this weekend :)

today's productivity & self-care:

  • finally finished section 2 of this certification course!
  • reviewed anki cards
  • helped a coworker with some code stuff, which always feels nice :)
  • took a walk on my lunch break

29/100 days of productivity | January 27, 2024

I realized that, in the chaos with my illness and everything else, I accidentally skipped my favorite part of the writing process. after reading through my sources several times, following a different logic each time, I like to draw up a long list of random observations in no particular order. since I already have some kind of framework for the subchapter, arranging them will be a bit easier, but, at the same time, the nature of these observations will also shape the subchapter's logic. so, with that, the writer's block is (probably) sorted out, and now I can finally make substantial progress.

I'm sorry if you're tired of thinking about ofmd and that whole mess but goddamn... it's incredibly painful to see so many people trying to set up fundraisers to get their families out of gaza and the sudan and desperately trying to get their loved ones to safety, I've seen so many and everyday I check to see how much progress they've made, most of them still haven't hit their goal. It hurts to see people rally around a tv show and raise all this money for a billboard, and it's very frustrating to see how people have reacted to this criticism. Like bro tv shows get canceled sometimes there's more important stuff going on

ibtisams answered:

Someone else said it better but to see a fundraiser for tv show renewal advertisements raise $20,000 in less than a day while it takes days/weeks/months/years/never for fundraisers for actual causes that help real people in need reach a goal of less is absolutely dystopian and shameful
