I. HATE. IN-TEXT. CITATIONS.
Not just when I'm writing a paper, but when I'm READING a textbook it looks SO messy (Rick-Astley, 1969, p. 420) and it's SO distracting, (Morbius, 2022) and SO disruptive (Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen, & Rudolph, 1964.) to my reading and (Bird, Grouch, Monster, & Monster, 1997 ) learning process. And why are some of them SO FUCKING (According, 2007; To & All, 1991; Known, Laws, & Of, 2378; Aviation, 57 B.C.E.) LONG???

This is what whitewashing history looks like
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is what erasure and racism denial looks like
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Under Ron DeSantis and the GOP, Florida is removing any references to George Floyd, Black Lives Matter, racism, social justice, critical race theory, and take-a-knee from their textbooks. (this is not a comprehensive list of redacted terms).
When Republicans aren’t busy banning words, books and movies, they’re re-writing history books to retcon and erase their racism.
This is happening in real time, right before our eyes.
It’s very fash.

The New York Times has reviewed some proposed changes that publisher Studies Weekly made to its course materials and found that it erased references to racism in its books telling the story of Rosa Parks.
According to the Times, the publisher made the changes in "an attempt to cater to Florida," which has adopted stricter guidelines on so-called "woke" textbooks under the administration of Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Under the publisher's current version of the Rosa Parks lesson, which is intended for first graders, the book states that Parks deliberately defied a law that said "African Americans had to give up their seats on the bus if a white person wanted to sit down."
However, in the most recent proposed revision to the book, the text only states that Parks "was told to move to a different seat" without any explanation as to why.

@a-dinosaur-a-day @quark-nova
So I was looking through my textbook (assigned by my university) and got to the bit on dinosaurs and...
Tumblr media
The textbook is Evolution 5th Edition, it's not about dinosaurs specifically but this shit makes me question everything else in the book.
My first thought was they want on shutterstock, looked up triceratops and clicked on the first thing but i up triceratops and this image was not there so idk what happened.
I'm not even sure what dinosaur this is actually meant to be because the frill shape does like triceratopsy but the spikes on it and the lack of brow horns makes me think Styaracosaurus, but the frill shape is wrong for that.
Triceratops is one of the most well known dinosaurs how do you make a mistake this basic in a fucking textbook, this wouldn't be ok in a random cartoon.
Is this some kind of weird trick to make sure my critical thinking is turned on.
Can someone help.

“adulting” problems:
why the actual fuck is it so hard to find free & trustworthy textbook pdfs?!
why are textbooks so expensive?
why is the government allowing broke college students pay almost $1000 on textbooks every year?
I am a STEM major so finding these textbooks are so hard😞 i’m sorry, seasonal depression is hitting really hard here in the PNW

Every professor who chooses to use an outrageously expensive paid textbook when a free or cheap (think Dover) alternative exists is guilty of an unforgivable sin. Design your own calculus problems, it's really not that hard, and give the students an old cheap book to reference...... Calculus really has not changed.
I honestly don't understand why professors in mathematics keep going along with this predatory textbook industry. Other sciences I can imagine might need to constantly update the introductory material, but mathematics is slow changing to the extreme at the introductory level.
