Quis custodiet ipsos custodes

Death of the author feels like such a white take tbh

[kiyokospeaks]

“it doesn’t matter that this author was blatantly and violently racist and homophobic because the author is dead uwu”

[shoefaced-deactivated20210321]

Honestly, death of the author is a concept that is used incorrectly quite a bit. It’s meant to mean “It doesn’t matter if the author had [x] intentions because the text itself and the reader’s interpretation of it matter more than what the author intends.”

So, if an author is not intending to be racist or homophobic, death of the author means their work can still be racist and homophobic if that is what the text portrays to the readers. Whether the author meant it or not.

The intent of the author, no matter how benign, does not change what is on the page. And if the page is full of bias and prejudice, then it’s biased and prejudiced.

Right wing people will say shit like “the left don’t want youth detention centers anywhere” and think that makes the left sound unreasonable somehow?? Like…yeah. I don’t want children locked up. I feel like that should be one of my least controversial opinions.

So I told one of my managers yesterday that I would be needing time of work this Tuesday to go and vote because I didn’t realize I was scheduled for a long shift and won’t be off before the polls close.

She then proceeds to ask me why I couldn’t early vote.

I tell her that I guess I could have but I didn’t and the option was now closed and my next and last chance is Tuesday.

Cue her giving me a hard time for not early voting.

I politely tell her that I didn’t so I’ll be requiring time off on Tuesday.

Her response?

“I mean we’ll try to get you out.”

Umm no.

I say - “Legally the law requires that you allow me time off work to go vote.”

Her response?

“Yes, I mean legally it does.”

Yes bitch, legally! As in the law! As in it is my right!

So whatever, I leave her office with a bad taste in my mouth and run into a coworker (who’s worked there as long as I’ve been alive), and I tell her about what happened.

She goes OFF, tells me I better make sure they let me go vote Tuesday and that if they try to fight me on it to tell them to look in their files for the law that she printed off for them years ago stating my right to do so.

So she leaves and I feel a bit better but just for shits and giggles I decide to look up the law for Tennessee voting rights (I knew it was a law that they have to let you off but I didn’t know the exact parameters.)

You know what Tennessee law says?

Up to three hours PAID time to go vote, (and my dumb ass was planning on clocking out.)

You best believe that if someone tries to argue with me Tuesday I’ll be slapping down a copy of that law and my ACLU membership card, I’m pretty sure they don’t want to be hearing from those lawyers.

If anyone else needs information about voting rights in their state:

State Laws on Voting Rights/Time Off to Vote - Workplace Fairness

Information about State Laws on Voting Rights/Time Off to Vote provided by job and employee rights advocacy organization Workplace Fairness.

And just an FYI: most states require you to let your employer know that you’ll be taking time off to vote the day before you plan on doing it

“Works Sighted”

[edsperegrine]

So true though

[toomanymemories]

No, no, don’t do this! This is actually a form of plagiarism itself - if you put a source in your works cited but don’t cite it or quote it in the paper, it could be assumed that you put the information in as your own work.

You can be expelled for plagiarism, and completely destroyed in the academic world. I wish this was more well known information. Please, please keep yourselves safe!!

[redinkscrawl]

Consider putting those works under “Works Consulted” instead! That basically means that you looked at the article and it may have influenced your writing (your angle, opinion, tone, ideas, etc,) but you didn’t cite any information or wording from the article.
