one of my favorite more ridiculous parts of mamma mia is that like, before they get to the island and meet Sophie….Sam, Bill and Harry really, truly thought Donna had invited them there herself. They hadn’t spoken to this woman once in 20 years, but they honestly thought she sat down and went “Hmm, my daughter is getting married in three days, do you know what I need right now???? Some Dick™. And I know just who to call for it!” and then they all immediately dropped every thing and rushed over to Greece to see her. amazing.
“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, enlightenment will descend upon you without the agency of any living being. you will know things, yet know not how you know.
prepare yourself. it begins.
In this essay, I will use the first person pronoun as a bludgeoning weapon
“bisexual can mean youre into the opposite gender and nonbinary people bc that’s two gender and bi means two”!!! is the same shit as “bisexual is transphobic because it excludes nonbinary people bc bi means two!!!”
you people are so fucking hyperfocused on the latin meaning of bi instead of just the historical context and actual common meaning of bisexual in LGBT circles basically meaning that you’re attracted to any gender lmao.
pervasive doubt
