looks more like she has been covering her ears to not listen to anything he had to say so he had to punch the wall to finally get her attention…

im a little bit confused, are you analyzing a stock photo used for an article from a satirical online magazine?

let’s all just take a moment to appreciate how a completely fictional man can exhibit abusive behavior in a hypothetical universe that exists solely to mock this behavior and someone out there will still bend over backwards to defend him.

“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

fun fact: turns out my insomnia (which i’ve had for over a decade now) is linked to anxiety (this may sound obv to y’all, but it wasn’t to me). Knowing that doesn’t fix things right away, but it does give me something to work on, and something by which i could maybe predict when insomnia will strike with its worst again.
