“Attempting To Read News In 2025” (medium: safari with ads, screencap, 2025)

Introductions to academic papers will be like "everyone knows that the sea is cold (citation), as well as salty (5 different citations). Things live in there (citation) and the environment is important to that (2 citations)"

[disorganisedautodidact]

these tags gave me thesis writing flashbacks

[saltedweather]

the thing about writing history. Is that you get used to this. And sometimes, some of us get too comfortable and so we're writing shit like

"Murder is bad. In the time period discussed, people sometimes committed murders (2 citations). And most people agreed that murder was bad, but it was widely known that murders still happened."

And your advisor goes, "Did most people agree, though? Was it widely known?"

And you go (sigh.). Okay. And do twelve hours of going back through your readings. And rewrite.

"Murder is bad (4 citations). In this time, people sometimes committed murders (6 citations). People did not all agree that it was bad (2 citations). There was disagreement about exactly how bad (3 citations)."

And you look at your draft. And you go. But. But we all — I mean, the archival sources from the time are in fact QUITE CLEAR about how widely known it was! Like–! I've read hundreds of letters and a third of them mention murder! I've talked to so many historians of this time and place and we ALL talk about the murder thing!

And you look at the twelve goddamned hours of searching you did. And you write several increadingly desperate emails to colleagues. And after another few days, you come to the agonizing realization that, in fact, there are no citations of published work establishing that people knew murders occurred despite them being bad and against the law. And then you spend another week looking up those archival sources. And you rewrite again.

"Murder is bad (6 citations). In this time, people sometimes committed murders (6 citations). People did not all agree that it was bad (2 citations). There was disagreement about exactly how bad (3 citations). While no conclusive study has been done, from communications in this time, we can say that at least a significant number of people knew that murders still occurred (18 citations)."

So fun story, when i was working on my dissertation I came across something that said "cattle eat about 30% of the total biomass in a Sahelian rangeland" (number exact, wording paraphrased)s

I was like hm that seems suspiciously round to be an experimental result, let's see what the citation is. after repeating this process for SEVERAL iterations, I got to a book published in 1991 called "Manuel sur les paturages des pays sahelien" where it was cited as "personal communication" (translation: I called someone I thought would know and that's what they said")

head, meet desk.

all goofing aside I genuinely don't understand the urge to reimagine Taylor Allison Swift as a secretly queer icon when the pop music scene(TM) is like. literally overflowing with women who actually like women. Gaga and Kesha and Miley and Halsey are right there. Rina Sawayama and Hayley Kiyoko and Rebecca Black and Kehlani and Victoria Monét and Miya Folick if you're willing to get slightly less top 100. Janelle and Demi for them nonbinary takes on liking girls. like what are we doing here. like I'm not even saying you can't enjoy Taylor but why would you hang all your little gay hopes on her.

[thepuppeteer-andthetrashmob]

Isn’t Lady Gaga bisexual?

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

yes that is indeed why she's on the list of famous women who like women

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

why have multiple people reblogged this with some horse-assed "um actually most of these people are bi or pan" did I fucking stutter I said they like girls. what is your point. I'm going to kill you.

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

#op probably has this post muted but the icon is too real.

the icon is because of this post

[wildflower182]

POV: you make a good post and then encounter tumblr reading comprehension

[ericrmalice-deactivated20240323]

btw to just clarify for anyone who sees this reblog of this post

op is basically saying something along the lines of "yea ik taylor swift is bi but like. why is she y'all's only lgbtq+ pop icon when there are all these other lgbtq+ people in the pop scene???"

i might have worded this badly but hopefully i got the main point across

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

hi op here I certainly did not fucking say Taylor Swift is bi

[1-800-horrorfilms]

[cealvan]

Op is saying that liking Taylor for being QUEER or Lgbtqia+ is not a bad thing, but to also know she is not the only one.

He did not call anyone in the original post lesbian bi or pan.

He did call two people NB

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

you have to be fucking with me there's no way

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

#Op you gonna have to make a graph

#I think it’s so funny I got that damn Taylor swift ad underneath this#anyways this is reminding me of that makeup post from way back when#where someone was saying no makeup is a valid way to wear your face and everyone kept insisting that you only need like….4 products

yeah that was also my post

[halfabouros]

Please actually read the post because Taylor Swift isn't gay or queer you're just protecting because you want a reason to treat a real person like she's not humanly here.

If you want women or non-binary people to talk about their love of women there's actual bi/pan/lesbian artists who talk about their love of women and sing songs about it. You literally don't have an excuse to not listen to their songs at least once, especially if you're after W/W rep that Taylor Swift literally can't give you because she's Straight.

It's actually so simple in fact to find a song about kissing girls as a girl because there's a fucking song titled "I KISSED A GIRL" By LADY GAGA!!!!!

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

I Kissed A Girl is by Katy Perry

[wickedpissahnerd]

“I Kissed a Girl” was by Jill Sobule, who sadly died a few days ago (May 1, 2025). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jill_Sobule

The Katy Perry version is a cover.

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

I can't believe I'm still doing this on this post but it's not a cover, they're completely different songs with the same names.

this is the Sobule song

and this is the Perry song

The baseline idea of Ace Attorney is genuinely insane to me. Like some dude really said « Ok this is a game about a lawyer, and his assistant who is a medium who can channel dead people. Yes, she is a real medium. No, she will never resolve a case by channeling the spirit of the victim. However, she WILL use it to channel her sister who will be here to breast boobily and give advices, said advice generally being ‘fake it till you make it babe’. » and then they added slightly homoerotic rivalry, gave everyone horrible fashion tastes, said it was set in America despite it being in an unmistakably japanese setting, and made 3 games out of it. And they were fucking bangers

[fleurmage]

Shame this man. He peed on the receptionist’s desk after the vet just told him he was so good and brave.

[un-monstre]

Hate it when TikTok farm cosplayers and cottagecore types say stuff like "I'm not going to use modern equipment because my grandmothers could make do without it." Ma'am, your great grandma had eleven children. She would have killed for a slow cooker and a stick blender.

[un-monstre]

I’ve noticed a sort of implicit belief that people used to do things the hard way in the past because they were tougher or something. In reality, labor-saving devices have historically been adopted by the populace as soon as they were economically feasible. No one stood in front of a smoky fire or a boiling pot of lye soap for hours because they were virtuous, they did it because it was the only way to survive.
