Dennis Basso Pre-Fall 2018 Collection
forget saving the wizarding world, naming his firstborn after them, heading the auror office, etc., I would love to see the reunion/conversation in which dead Harry tries to explain to his dad and godfather that he named his other son after snape
#he saved me dad #he sold you out to fucking voldemort son #he loved mum dad #so did our cat you wanna name a kid after him harry #he spied for dumbledore dad #he participated in mass murder and only switched sides because he felt guilty for causing your mum’s death son #he was the bravest man i ever knew dad #that is because you didn’t know me you tosser (via prongsmydeer)
Harry: Where’s Sirius? I thought he’d want to see me?
James: he’s crying Harry. look at what you’ve done
Teachers: Wikipedia is very unreliable *Hands out 25 year old textbooks instead*
Alrighty guys ,gals, and other genders and lack thereof I’m gonna teach ya a thing.
A lot of teachers will go on about not using wikipedia as a source.
“It’s bad,” they say. “I will deduct points if you do it.”
Well wikipedia is actually a great source of information and fuck what your teacher said, you absolutely can use it.
The key though is knowing
A.How to use it.
B. How to source it.
and
C. whether it is good info or trash.
NowFirst Lets look up something on wikipedia. Say your writing a paper on Gregor Mendel and Mendelian Inheritance.
So you zoom over to the Wikipedia page on Mendelian Inheritance.
Now there is a lot of information here. Not all of it is strictly necessary for that essay you are writing. So you read through and suddenly you see something that is good info for your essay.
Boy oh boy this information is useful. To bad your teacher said No Wikipedia Ever.
However there is a loophole.
It’s right there.
No. Go closer.
You see that little four? Its a citation number. Think of wikipedia as it’s own essay. It got it’s information from other sources out there. Just like you are trying to right now. And since there is a citation, it’s going to be listed at the end of the wikipedia article.
Look at citation number 4
Look at that you have your first citation. From Wikipedia.
And look. Do you see it. There is a link. It’s the blue words with the boxy arrow thingamajig.
That thing. Click it.
Why did you leave wikipedia you ask? Wikipedia is great. You have several sources from there. But There is more than what the put in to that wiki article. Those sources Wikipedia gave you are helpful. And now that you are at the source, you can utilize it.
But what if its a book that’s the source.
You can either head to your local library and see if they have it, order it, or avoid the book source. Online sources are just as valuable.
Also do not quote directly from the wikipedia. Quote from the source and then use quote citation.
And MLA citation. Use MLA citation. Since you are linked to the sources cite them. Not the wikipedia.
Your teacher will never know. And now you can finish that sweet essay you got planned.
You’re on your way to greatness.
For anybody not aware you can abuse the absolute fuck out of Wikipedia for any papers!

/r/choosingbeggars is the only good Subreddit I’ve decided
This is one of the best ones I’ve found from there
Damn you’re right
This is so cursed I swear I lost five years of life
I don’t know if I should say it got better or worse
Women: I would prefer to be with a man who doesn’t abuse me, isn’t an addict, doesn’t cheat, bathes
Journalist: WHAT A BRUTAL LIST OF DEMANDS
Seriously tho
It makes me so sad and mad the way men just like…thrive off of women’s pain. They play them, they make them cry, all the fucking time and it’s just expected to be part of the experience of a boy. To just fucking break women and use them and its fun and games!!! And i hate it I just hate it
14 year old girl spotted I repeat 14 year old girl spotted
Are you implying it’s normal for a 14 year old girl to constantly be hurt by boys her age?…
Wow I wonder if maybe… that was OP’s point…
young woman: expresses sadness and pain at men’s cruelty and manipulation towards her and all women
men: haha emotional hormonal hysterical teen girls am i right??? haha making fun of young women is so edgy and intelligent
