How Do You Cite a Tweet in an Academic Paper?
The Modern Language Association likes to keep up with the times. As we all know, some information breaks first or only on Twitter and a good academic needs to be able to cite those sources. So, the MLA has devised a standard format that you should keep in mind.
Well this is something I never thought I’d see. I feel old.
Wonder if AP has / will roll out anything similar?
WOMEN! AM I RIGHT?
I’ve been kind of thinking about this theory in my head about why men are so into things like this (audiophiles), or sports, or cars, or various man things that all men are supposed to know about it as part of Manliness 101.
I’m pretty sure it’s something about the idea that men are supposed to be experts and be able to explain/know things (you may recognize a bit of mansplaining!).
And because there are facts but also opportunity to present yourself as an expert. With Opinions. And therefore prove your smartness/manliness.
If you’re not following her already, GO DO THAT, and if you’re looking for some excellent reading, check out this list!
Black Panther Party Book list 1968 | Adding to my “Must Read” list.
i have mad respect for the black panther party but i must say, where are the women writers on this list?
It’s not uncommon to read stories of all kinds of activist groups in this time period where the women were relegated to cooking for the men, cleaning up after the men, taking care of the men… while the men were the ones DOING things and speaking and such. Not that women didn’t have a large role in activism (they did!) just that it was a far cry from being treated equally with the men in their same cause(s).
Still, I’d like to check out some of these books.

I am Pro-Choice because 61% of those who have abortions already have children.[1]
I am Pro-Choice because 42% of those who have abortions are living 100% under the poverty level. [2]
I am Pro-Choice because 37% of those who have abortions are living 100-199% under the poverty level. [3]
I am Pro-Choice because there is no perfect contraceptive method.
I am Pro-Choice because I want every child loved and wanted and every parent ready.
I am Pro-Choice because adoption is not a cure-all.
I am Pro-Choice because I understand the radical notion that there are people, like me, who want to have sex and never want children.
I am Pro-Choice because fertile people owe nothing to these mythical infertile couples who angst over not having children but are never told to go adopt.
I am Pro-Choice because I am sex-positive.
I am Pro-Choice because it’s not of my business what someone else does with their body.
I am Pro-Choice because I see the opposing sides’ arguments; I see their graphic photos, their propaganda, their murders of doctors and I know that I am right.
I am Pro-Choice because every time I see a graphic photo or a fetus letter asking for its mother to help stop the pain of abortion, I want to rip it up—because none of these assholes understand the pain of watching, being, a mother anguishing over a sick, sick infant.
I am Pro-Choice because 58% of those who got an abortion would have liked to have it earlier and 60% had to delay it because of money and various arrangement problems. [4]
I am Pro-Choice because people are more than a womb.
I am Pro-Choice because my body is not a political battleground.
What I really love about this is that the facts are cited. :)

The American Academy of Pediatrics would like to correct false statements made in the Republican presidential campaign that HPV vaccine is dangerous and can cause mental retardation. There is absolutely no scientific validity to this statement. Since the vaccine has been introduced, more than 35 million doses have been administered, and it has an excellent safety record.
The American Academy of Pediatrics, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the American Academy of Family Physicians all recommend that girls receive HPV vaccine around age 11 or 12. That’s because this is the age at which the vaccine produces the best immune response in the body, and because it’s important to protect girls well before the onset of sexual activity. In the U.S., about 6 million people, including teens, become infected with HPV each year, and 4,000 women die from cervical cancer. This is a life-saving vaccine that can protect girls from cervical cancer.
