a great example for applied division of labour: drunk me finished writing the missing parts of a story, sober me corrected all the typos and the weird word choices
Eight Jews Dead in an Antisemitic Hate Crime, and Trump is Already Victim Blaming
This morning, a white man named Robert Bowers entered Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life synagogue, shouted “all jews must die,” and shot 14 people. At least 8 so far are dead.
When asked if this reflected on gun control, the president of the united states said, “If they had protection inside, the results would have been far better…if they had some kind of a protection inside the temple, maybe it could have been a very much different situation. They didn’t — he was able to do things that unfortunately he shouldn’t have been able to do.”
This is victim blaming. He is saying that because these congregants had chosen not to defile a house of g-d with instruments of death, they were shot.
When building the Temple in Jerusalem, it’s said, g-d required the stones not be cut with metal tools, as such things could be used to kill people. We believe that instruments of death have no place in the praising of g-d. We should not be required to sacrifice this value in order to stay alive.
May their memories be a blessing.
I appreciate that people are liking this, but please reblog as well
The total is to 11 now 😣 May their memories be a blessing
I’m really envious rn of how you English-speaking people can just write ”Dear …” on your applications and literally everything else, whereas I have to figure out if it’s okay to to use “Hallo” or “Guten Tag” or if I should still be using the very formal “Sehr geehrte…” in any follow-up e-mails, no in between. like, the ones after the first meeting are especially weird when that meeting was mostly informal. both feel kind of wrong.
A lot of these pics are from Horses Inside Out which is an organization that paints horses! They use their painted ponies to teach about anatomy, biomechanics, and they advocate management and training practices based on the physiology of the horse. They’re an awesome org with a lot of really cool resources and publications!
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!
Another good citation website is mendeley.com. You need to create an account, but it’s free. You can search through their database or they also have a browser extension which you just need to click once you’ve opened the article (or even just the abstract). From there it gets all the info you need to cite the paper, as well as downloading PDF files of it if they’re available. The citations will be in your library on the mendeley webpage and you can copy and paste them in the most common citation formats from there.
And you have those citations for as long as you have a membership at mendeley; they’re saved to your personal library. Incredibly helpful when you need to go back and find old papers for things.
Furthermore, if you’re like me and you need to use a weird citation style that isn’t as common as APA or MLA (I use the Geological Society of America formatting for most of my papers), you can download the free desktop app and it’ll properly cite your sources in even more citation styles.
