Random writing tips that my history professor just told during class that are actually helpful

Download all your sources or print them so you can turn off your wifi

Give your phone to someone

Just. WRITE. Writing is analysing, you’ll get more ideas as you write. It doesn’t need to be perfect, for now you can just blurt out words and ideas randomly. You can fix it later.

Create a skeleton/structure before writing.

Stop before you get exhausted. It’s best to stop writing when you still have some energy and inspiration left, this will also motivate you to get started again next time.

Make a to do list

Work in bite sizes. Even if it’s not much, as long as you put some ideas on paper or do some editing.

Simple language =/= boring language, simple language = clear language.

Own your words. If they are not your words, state this clearly in the text, not just in the footnotes.

STOP BEFORE YOU GET EXHAUSTED. Listing it again because it’s easily one of the best tips a teacher has ever given me.

EDIT: the bail fund has been filled the local SDS is ensuring all money goes to the protesters in jail

its crazy logging in here and seeing nothing about the fact that 25 students were arrested on the cal poly humboldt campus during a sweep at 3am last night that came after days of psychological warfare from administrators and police, many of which were called in from outside the county. we’re a very isolated and small population up here in the redwoods and our student population is extremely poor with a huge percentage of students that don’t have a permanent place to live, especially after last year when a ton of students were displaced from campus after an administrative decision to clear upperclassmen from campus to make way for incoming students that never came. bails are being set at $10,000 for the students and faculty that were arrested!!!! cops here have a history of brutality and the president of the university is a sniveling little man who calls his students criminals and refuses to meet with or address them directly

they may not know the dragon warrior, laugh at the god of kung fu, but no one fucks with tai lung.

either you recognize his superiority right away or he will force you to. ultimately, his name alone inspired fear in everyone, even after decades of his imprisonment in an immobile position, for a reason.

nah cause now that her beef and bullshit about david tennant are making the terf fucker jkr pop up on my feed again, let’s all fucking have a discussion about what is CONSTANTLY on my mind but specifically:

Millennial Teachers I am Talking To You!!!

⚠️‼️

STOP DECORATING CLASSROOMS WITH HARRY POTTER!!!!

‼️⚠️

JK Rowling is a transphobic misandrist spreading violent rhetoric and when YOU, an educator, decorate your classroom with her works and characters then YOU send the message to your students and anyone else in that building that YOU are also a TERF endorsing and supporting her beliefs.

- Now— I have the benefit of being in elementary schools more often than most by nature of work and I personally have seen more than a handful of classes decorated as such in the 2023-2024 school year alone. So do not try to tell me this isn’t happening.

- I also understand and acknowledge that for most of these people— they GENUINELY DON’T KNOW THIS ABOUT JKR! They just decorate their classroom as such for nostalgia.

But that doesn’t make it acceptable. It doesn’t erase the cognitive dissonance of seeing the ‘LGBTQ+ students have a right to feel safe in schools’ signs juxtaposed with Harry Potter decor and knowing as a queer adult in that building that any trans child would NOT necessarily be safe in that school.

*I am NOT saying pull Harry Potter from your classroom bookshelf or school library. I am not saying A CHILD cannot enjoy harry potter. I am saying AS THE ADULT IN THE ROOM—

‼️TEACHERS IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO KNOW WHAT MESSAGING YOU ARE PROJECTING!!! ‼️

You can’t just hang pictures of the characters or stuffed animals or quotes or section the tables by hogwarts house cause ‘its nostalgic’ or ‘let people have fun’ or ‘death of the author!’

ACKNOWLEDGE THE SOURCE!

ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEMS!

AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WHEN YOU DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THESE THINGS TO IMPRESSIONABLE YOUNG CHILDREN LEAVES THEM WITH THE IMPRESSION (a) YOU SUPPORT TRANSPHOBIA; AND/OR (b) THAT THEY TOO SHOULD SUPPORT AND LISTEN TO TRANSPHOBES.

There are OTHER BOOKS! I promise.

Modern french student Enjolras is 100% the kind of guy who rolls his own cigarettes ("because it's less expensive" but it's partly because it does objectively make you exponentially cooler). He definitely rolls them while he's talking to you and he blows smoke in your face and contributes to the gigantic cloud of cigarette smoke that fills the air above the Sorbonne courtyard during lunchtime
