How to find textbooks online for free: a post.

obsessionfull:

Textbooks are fucking expensive, and if your professor doesn’t require a physical copy (most don’t - they just want you to have the book at hand. Or maybe even not. Some professors literally give no fucks about whether you have the book or not) and you don’t mind having your copy as an electronic copy - this is the post for you!

Most textbook companies put out new editions every year or so even though there isn’t really that much new information. Sometimes they’ll eliminate questions if it’s something like a math or chemistry book or they’ll add in a few sentences about updated legislation (the professor I work for teaches human sexuality, and the newest edition of the book she uses included the 2009 decision to allow same-sex couples have hospital visitation rights). These new editions are pointless and only created to make the textbook company money and to cut down on students selling to each other. You’re going to ignore that. We love older editions. Make sure when you’re searching on the following sites that you don’t include the edition number to give you more search results. If one with your edition comes up - great! If not, you can usually stick to something one to three editions behind without any major changes.

Sites you should be searching:

• FilesTube - FilesTube searches THE ENTIRE INTERNET for files uploaded to file-sharing websites such as MegaUpload, Mediafire, or WuUpload. Sometimes people will upload pdf files of your textbook. This is always an important first search.
• Google Books - You usually won’t find your textbook on Google Books, but it’s always worth a look. Sometimes pages are missing because it’s only a preview of the book, but again - always worth a look.
• Scribd - People upload documents to Scribd and by becoming a member (free!) or connecting through Facebook (if you’re lazy!), you can download whatever files you may find. This sometimes includes textbooks.
• BookBoon - website specifically for finding pdf versions of textbooks
• Curriki - free open source materials
• Flat World Knowledge - free business, humanities, and science textbooks
• California Learning Resource Network
• Open Culture
• Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources
• TorrentScan - textbooks are also uploaded to torrent sites in some cases - you may as well check.
• If push comes to shove, you can try variations of googling “textbook name torrent” or “textbook name download” or “textbook name download free.” Sometimes things pop up and I never would have known about them.
• LibraryPirate is a torrent search site specifically for textbooks. (Added 10 October 2011)
• AMAZING Reddit post (Added 2 November 2011)
• JenkThat - I haven’t tried this out yet, but I’ve heard good things from others. It’s also a good place to find other ebooks that aren’t textbooks. (Added 29 December 2011)

I’ve found all 8 of my textbooks for this term (19 credit hours, six classes) through one of the methods above. I’m not even going to look at retail prices, but checking BigWords.com (which, if you want to buy your books/can’t find them anywhere with one of the previous methods, will give you the cheapest price on the internet), I saved $497.87 by doing this. It takes time, but it’s definitely worth almost $500 worth of time. If you know of more ways to find free textbooks - please let me know!

Hi, fetus, I am your parent

fracturedrefuge:

Note: This was written in reaction to the “Mommy, I am your baby” post that is currently circulating around Tumblr.  Thought it was about time we hear from the person who is actually self-aware and not just the clump of cells residing inside of them.

Hi, Fetus,

My name is Bria and I am the person whose uterus you are currently residing in. I am 28 years old and I actually have beautiful brown eyes and brown hair. Like, right now. Not “will” in nine months or so, but have it currently. I already have one child. His name is Ryatt and he has my beautiful brown eyes and brown hair. He is three years old and loves Thomas the Tank Engine. You? You don’t love anything, because right now, you are really just a clump of cells that has no cognitive development. You can’t love anything. Not me, not Thomas the Tank Engine, not flowers and birdies and sunshine. You get all your sustenance from me and cannot live on your own outside of my uterus.

But enough about you, let’s talk about me. Like I already said, I am 28 years old. This puts me in the majority age range for people who get abortions. (People in their 20s account for more than half of all abortions; people aged 20–24 obtain 33% of all abortions, and people aged 25–29 obtain 24%.) Like I said, I already have one child to care for (like 61% of people who obtain an abortion) and I currently have no place of my own and am living with my mentally and emotionally abusive mother. I have no job and don’t even qualify for social services because I have not lived in the state I am currently residing in for over 3 months. This is also pretty common among people who obtain abortions - 42% have incomes below 100% of the federal poverty level and 27% have incomes between 100–199% of the federal poverty level. I am looking for a job, but the economy is tough and there is not a lot out there. It’s even tougher for me because I was forced to drop out of college due to mental health issues that I am still dealing with today. So I have no college degree, which qualifies me only for menial jobs in retail or food service. Because these jobs pay so very little, I would never be there to raise you and would have to rely on others. This would probably be a complete stranger at a second-rate daycare center, as I am unwilling to leave you with my mother, have no other family and I can’t really afford to put you in a fancy, bells-and-whistles daycare.

These are all actually pretty common reasons why people obtain abortions. Three-fourths of people cite concern for or responsibility to other individuals; three-fourths say they cannot afford a child; three-fourths say that having a baby would interfere with work, school or the ability to care for dependents; and half say they do not want to be a single parent or are having problems with their husband or partner.

Because I know when I am supposed to get my period, I knew I was pregnant almost right away. Turns out, this is pretty common, too, as over 61% of abortions are performed at less than 9 weeks from a person’s last menstrual period (which would be about 7 weeks from conception). At this point, you really have no thoughts or feelings because, remember when I said you were a clump of cells? I meant it. Those are pictures of what an abortion looks like when done between 5 and 6 weeks. Pretty stark contrast from the gory images that are normally shoved down your throat, huh, fetus?

And, fetus, while I may be a little sad after you are gone, a lot of really smart people have done a lot of really intensive studies and they have concluded that “post abortion syndrome” as a wide-spead occurrence is myth. Also, some more really smart people have assured me that abortion is pretty much one of the safest medical procedures I can undergo in the United States today and, that when performed in the first trimester, it poses little to no long-term risk to future pregnancies, should I ever decide to become pregnant again.

Fetus, as you can see, this is really the best decision for me and for the beautiful little boy who is sleeping with his arms curled around me. I want to go to school to become a sign language interpreter so I can hopefully get a place of my own and not have to rely on other people for my food and shelter. I want to provide a good, healthy, stable life for the child I already have and for any children I may have in the future. And I have thought about it a lot (because abortion is not something anyone enters into lightly) and I could not do that while caring for another child. I would apologize, but there is really nothing to apologize for. I am doing what I know in my heart is the absolute best thing for me and my son. You will not feel any pain, as you are not able to do that until about 24 weeks old, and you don’t even know you exist, so I doubt that you know that you are now gone.

Every abortion is just…

One more person exercising their right to bodily autonomy and self-determination based on what they feel is the best choice for them.

Stupid bullshit excuses people use to not support SlutWalk(s)

fromonesurvivortoanother:

I keep hearing this same bullshit come up over and over again from self-proclaimed “allies”, and it is starting to piss me off. So, without further ado…

1. OMG “slut” is a bad word! Why are people calling themselves bad words? AKA “language-will-stay-the-same-forever-and-ever” person.

First of all, where the fuck have you been for the last decade? Do you not understand that language is flexible and changes over time? Have you not seen the rise of netspeak, texting shorthand, and even new terminology for the internet? Language is not some static, never-changing monolith that we have to adhere to strictly.

Maybe this is because there are so many new Third Wave “Feminists” who don’t know two shits about the history of Feminism, and who have never learned about how “dyke”, “bitch”, “queer”, and other words were reclaimed. I guess we should just abandon “gay”, since we all know that’s been forever tainted by homophobes. And what about the whole “black is beautiful” thing from the 60s? Was that just a big anomaly?

Learn your WST (and all) History, for all of our sakes.  Word reclamation happens. I’m sorry if it makes you uncomfortable; get over it.

2. SlutWalks capitulate to patriarchal norms of beauty and sexuality, AKA “I-just-finished-my-WST-101-class-and-now-I-think-all-sex-is-bad-based-on-my-rudimentary-understanding-of-theory” person.

People who use this bullshit excuse have obviously not even looked at pictures or seen footage of the activists at SlutWalk. Are you saying that men in wheelchairs, women in their pajamas, and people wearing work clothes carrying signs that say “this is what I wore when I was raped” are seriously appealing to “patriarchal beauty norms”? And what about people of color, or trans men and trans women? These people certainly don’t fit into an anglo-european-centric, cis-gendered standard of beauty. Way to miss the point entirely on that whole “what you wear doesn’t influence whether or not you are sexually assaulted” thing. And thank you for slut-shaming.

Newflash: objectification is a normal part of life— we do it all of the time. It happens in healthy relationships, too. We are sexual beings, and we can’t deny that. Objectification is only a bad thing when people are made to be less than human (such as disembodied women in ads, comparisons of women of color to “primal” or “exotic”, etc). Since the people at SlutWalks are speaking out (which, by definition, empowers you as human), I don’t see how they could be objectified in a dehumanizing way. If you said all objectification was bad, then you would not be able to be sexual. At all.

When people use this excuse, what I’m really hearing is “let’s all conform to puritanical standards of dress and behave politely”. What I hear is the same kind of second wave, exclusive thought that kicked out lesbians for being a “lavender menace”, or black women for not being “relevant”. Why did they do this? To appeal to a white, male power structure. This excuse is essentially “let’s be good little boys and girls and appeal to the people in charge instead of standing up for ourselves”.

3. People at SlutWalks are making a fool of themselves.

Please refer to 1 and 2. If you say this, you obviously have no clue what you are talking about. Half of this is to be ironic, camp, and funny. The other half is dead serious. If you judge people as “fools” based on how they dress and act, then you’re just buying into certain standards of beauty, behavior, and silence.

4. SlutWalk is an exclusively white movement, AKA I-see-something-I-don’t-like-but-I’m-just-gonna-sit-here-and-do-nothing-about-it person.

Since SlutWalk originated in Canada and then the United States, it has been a whole lot of white people. However, it has spread to India, Mexico, Korea, and other places. As I said in 2, I have seen plenty of non-white, non-cis people. And really, if you think SlutWalk isn’t including people of color (or other diversities) enough, why don’t you go and do something about it? I am Asian American, Transgendered, and Appalachian. I’m doing my part. Where are you in this?

5. There are more important issues than dress codes, AKA I-can’t-think-of-anything-beyond-the-most-immediate-and-relevant person.

I guess you must have missed the boat too on the “what you wear doesn’t influence whether or not you’re raped” issue. You also haven’t seen how SlutWalk has incorporated issues of sexual abuse, birth control, harassment, and marital expectations. This is about so much more than just “dress codes”— it’s about women and men having the right to be free of intimidation, social coercion, and other backwards bullshit that blames the victims instead of the attackers.

It doesn’t even matter if SlutWalk doesn’t make legal changes (although it has), because it is still providing people who are marginalized a space to express themselves. Gay Pride Rallies are not for straight people; they’re for gay people to have a space to just feel awesome, express themselves, and understand that they are not alone. They give people a space to stand in solidarity with an entire community. The more things like this are publicized rather than kept in silence, the more it will be acceptable and okay for everyone. You can’t make social change unless you speak out first.

That is all I can think of at the moment. Please tell me if I missed something.

I’ll now refer anyone who misunderstands SlutWalks to this post.

Long-Debunked Anti-Choice Arguments: A Comprehensive List

propaganda-for-life:

This is a growing list. If you ever want me to add an argument here, just say so! Here is a shorter version of it by solo1y.

Last edit: 6/22/2011

1. Fetal Pain:
   Fetuses cannot feel pain before 24 weeks, at which point elective abortion is usually illegal and almost never happens in the first place.
   
   There are some studies that may suggest that fetal pain exists. These are bad studies. This one, for example, is by one KJS Anand, who I can find practically no qualifications for. His medical qualification is only an MBBS, a Bachelor’s Degree in medicine. His Oxford degree is in philosophy. And it mentions here that he lived on the Harvard campus, but never got a degree of any kind there. He also has a PhD in pediatrics, but that’s children’s medicine; children usually don’t have to worry about abortion. He has an impressive resume, sure, but he’s certainly not qualified to write such a gigantic study on fetal pain. Besides, the study showing that fetuses don’t feel pain before 24 weeks is newer.
2. Abortion is Unsafe:
   It’s actually one of the safest procedures in existence, and it’s actually safer than pregnancy, carrying to term, and delivery.
3. Planned Parenthood is Primarily an Abortion Provider:
   I can’t believe we still have to go over this, but abortion is only 3% of what Planned Parenthood provides. “90%” was a total lie spread by US Senator Jon Kyl, who later confessed that it was “not intended to be a factual statement.” Moreover, they provide so much contraception (well over 30% of their services) that they actually prevent more abortions than they perform to the tune of 800,000 fewer abortions per year.
4. Our taxes (US) are spent on abortions: 
   For the moment, we have the Hyde Amendment preventing exactly that, though it really should be repealed as it is a discriminatory law. Besides, so what if you disagree with abortion as a taxpayer? My taxes have paid for multiple wars I never wanted to happen since I was born; now it’s your turn. That, and I pay my taxes without much for moral complaints now because I’m an adult who likes fire departments and traffic lights.
5. Only women get pregnant: 
   False. Meet trans-men. Anti-choice legislation affects all uterus bearers, not just cisgendered women.
6. Abortion kills babies: 
   No, it kills a fetus and a potential person (more in the next point). When you might actually call it a “baby,” elective abortion is usually illegal. (Specifically, that’s past twenty-one weeks in most countries.) When abortions do happen at this stage (only 1.5% of abortions do), virtually all of them happen because the life of the mother is in danger, and no mother going through this actually wants it to happen.
7. A fetus is a person: 
   No, it is a potential person. This post explains it better than I can: “Webster’s Dictionary lists a person as ‘being an individual or existing as an indivisible whole; existing as a distinct entity.’ Anti-abortionists claim that each new fertilized zygote is already a new person because its DNA is uniquely different than anyone else’s. In other words, if you’re human, you must be a person.
   
   […]
   
   The defining mark between something that is human and someone who is a person is ‘consciousness.’ It is the self-aware quality of consciousness that makes us uniquely different from others. This self-awareness, this sentient consciousness is also what separates us from every other animal life form on the planet. We think about ourselves. We use language to describe ourselves. We are aware of ourselves as a part of the greater whole.
   
   
   The problem is that consciousness normally doesn’t occur until months, even years, after a baby is born. This creates a moral dilemma for the defender of abortion rights. Indeed, they inherently know what makes a human into a person, but they are also aware such individual personhood doesn’t occur until well after birth. To use personhood as an argument for abortion rights, therefore, also leads to the argument that it should be okay to kill a 3-month-old baby since it hasn’t obtained consciousness either.” 
8.  Most women regret abortion: 
   False. “The most common feeling experienced after an abortion is that of relief and confidence in the decision. Few women may experience feelings of grief and guilt, and these feelings usually pass within days to weeks in most cases and do not lead to mental health problems.” (Source) Also, 80% of women who terminate do not regret their decision. (Source)
9. On a similar note, “Post-Abortion Syndrome”: 
   Neither the American Psychological Association nor the American Psychiatric Association recognize this as a real phenomenon, and in fact reject its existence. As stated above, most women do not regret abortion, and in fact are usually satisfied with their decision. PAS is a fictitious concept invented to scare women. That’s all it is.
10. “Pro-choicers are murderers/baby-killers/oppressors/anti-life/pro-abortion/the most evil people on Earth!”:
    I think you need to look into the definition of libel, my friends.
11. “Emergency contraception (Morning After Pills) is the same as abortion!” 
    Nope, it keeps you from becoming pregnant in the first place by pausing ovulation to inhibit fertilization. This is basic science. Did we all graduate high school here? Contraception prevents abortion; wouldn’t contraception and “pro-lifers” make natural allies?
12. Emergency contraception is unhealthy! 
    Wrong again. This is slightly harder science right now, I know, but here you can read an accurate list of all of the observed side effects of EC/MAPs, none of which are lethal or long-term.
13. Birth control is the same as abortion! 
    Wrong again. Similar to EC, they keep you from getting pregnant. Here, however, they perpetually keep the ovum from beginning its ovulatory cycle and are generally taken every day or on some regular basis.
14. The only purpose of sex is procreation: 
    In most animals, this is true. But not for humans. Our psychology is more advanced than that, and sex can do far more for us than just procreation. It’s a method of bonding in humans, too. 
    
    The extension of this argument is inevitably that if someone doesn’t want children, they shouldn’t have sex. Besides being a homophobic argument, let’s for example take heterosexual, bisexual, or pansexual people (all attracted in some way to the opposite sex) who never want children. Do you really expect all of these people to never have sex? To die virgins? This is a completely fallacious and erroneous expectation.
15. Adoption! 
    I could make a litany of all the problems with the adoption system. It’s admirable at heart, but the system has serious racism and ageism problems. Not to mention ableism problems. That too.
    
    Moreover, adoption isn’t an alternative to pregnancy. It’s an alternative to parenthood. Abortion ends the gestation process. When a person (trans-man or cisgendered woman) becomes pregnant, they are more likely to be murdered, and murder accounts for 20% of deaths of all pregnant people.
    
    Furthermore, I’ve brought this up before, but let’s say that, like me personally (sanityscraps.tumblr), your mother drilled into you that if you ever got pregnant as a teen, she would throw you out of the house to fend for yourself. I’m not the only one who had this threat. Thankfully for me, that never happened, but not all people are so lucky. Would you really, then, tell a fourteen year old child, a fourteen year old me, even, that life on the streets with no resources was better than simply terminating the pregnancy?
    
    Oh, and putting your child up for adoption is more emotionally traumatic than having an abortion.
    
    So it really is not that simple. Stop pretending you understand the lives of everyone, because you absolutely do not. Sometimes the pregnancy is the problem too, not just the developing child itself.
16. “I’m pro-life because God is.” 
    Let’s keep religion out of this. This is a debate about a medical procedure, not what some invisible man thinks. But there are some very convincing arguments showing that Yahweh is not pro-life, using quotes from the Bible. He advocates rape, child abuse, and murder, and is in fact impressed by it.
17. “Look at all these pictures of aborted fetuses! Abortion is disgusting!” 
    Almost all surgery is bloody. (Warning: these links are graphic.) Gallbladder surgery! Open heart surgery! Lung surgery! These aren’t very visually appealing either. And yet, they all save lives, as does abortion. Should all of these procedures be illegal just because they don’t look pretty?
    
    Besides, a lot of the “fetus” pictures you post aren’t even fetuses at all. Many of the photos anti-choicers use are of fully-grown, smiling infants. But even with the bloody pictures you claim as aborted fetuses, some are, but some are not. For instance, I doubt this is actually an aborted fetus (graphic). It looks more like an infant, perhaps premature, killed in a war zone. The anti-choice site it’s on claims it’s from an abortion at seven months—at which point elective abortion, again, simply does not happen. Only 1.5% of all abortions take place after four months at all, and at this point, it’s virtually always because the mother’s life is directly threatened. So even if that last image were an aborted fetus, it would not have been one done on the mother’s whim.
18. Partial-Birth Abortion:
    Is a total myth. Yes, it exists, but it is NOT a birth, and this name is a misnomer. It only LOOKS like a birth. “It is an abortion that looks like a birth, not a birth interrupted by an abortion.” These are only performed past 20 weeks. Again, as I’ve cited multiple times above, only 1.5% of all abortions happen past 21 weeks, and when they do, they’re exclusively because the health of the mother is in danger from the pregnancy itself.
19. Abortion clinic escorts are paid!: 
    I can’t actually verify this either way. The best primary source I can find indicate that some are paid, and some are not. It’s hard to say for everyone, but at the very least, most escorts are unpaid volunteers. However, many people from anti-choice CPCs are paid to harass women to go into their fake clinics, which emotionally terrorize the poor women who accidentally end up there.
    
    And last, but not least… 
20. Abortion is immoral! 
    No it’s not.

Wahh wahh wahh. Feminism…stupid and unnecessary because there are tons

Oh no, you misunderstand me.  Modern, third wave feminism (And I do think that distinction is important because old school Alice Paul feminism was badass) is stupid because everything it argues for and believes in is misguided and pitiful (i.e.  privilege, appropriation, etc etc).  And it is because it is stupid that I wish feminists would spend their time on more pressing concerns.  Worried about the nonexistent wage gap in America?  Try addressing the real one in Afghanistan.  Same goes for privilege or rape culture or any other feminist issue.  What I mean to say is, modern feminists just want reasons to pull out of their ass to hate America and make shit up to support their need to whine about their country.

No, no I understood you perfectly. I hear this response all the time. Feminists should worry about other parts of the world because they are more oppressed and have far more problems. I completely agree that there are terrible human rights violations occurring around the world. But that doesn’t make the problems is the United States disappear. We should not just rest because we have things better than other places. We should continually strive for equality in all sectors, and that starts at home. There are many feminists who focus on global issues and speak out about foreign affairs, power to them. But that doesn’t mean that we have reached equality on the necessary levels here, in the US.

Dude, I’m Canadian. There’s still a wage gap here. A female architect at my mom’s job has been working at her office for 7 years, yet the fresh out of school man who was hired once his internship was over has the same salary. He also gets 4 weeks of vacation, while my mom has been working there 12 years and only gets 3 weeks.

I met her boss, he’s really nice, not a frothing sexist monster or anything. But he does give preferential treatment to his male employees, and confessed not hiring female interns to go on the construction sites because ”women are too nice and not assertive enough.” 

Sexism exists everywhere, not everything revolves around your lurve for America. Feminists didn’t invent the fact that 1 out of 6 American woman will be a victim of rape or attempted rape in her lifetime. Every time  feminism gets called stupid and useless it only proves that it’s still relevant, but it just happens to make people uncomfortable that they address issues like gender equality and prejudice. Honestly, we still have work to do in the West. While you use the plight of women in non-western countries as a prop to silence women in the West, countries such as Indonesia, Pakistan and Bangladesh have elected female leaders, while in America we’re still talking about how her PMS might make a female president nuke the world. Do you also seriously believe that these women would disapprove of American women fighting against sexism in America? Don’t you think that their liberation should come from them rather than your idea of white American saviors? What do you expect, American women invading Afghanistan and magically fixing everything? 

If you truly care about fighting misogyny somewhere, then you care about fighting it everywhere. ”Sexism doesn’t exist in Amurrica you stupid bitch okay GO TO AFGHANISTAN” is not a way to convince me that you care about gender equality, but it’s a not very subtle way to make me understand that gender issues make you uncomfortable and you simply wish no one would bring them up.

^This.

Day 9, pro-life.

I’ve thought long and hard about my answer and I do believe that I’m pro-life. I may be a pro-choice activist of sorts, but, despite knowing not of the meaning of life, I do know that all life is meant to live.

To those who were unrightfully impregnated, I’m sorry, but killing anything because your sad or angry, or whatever the fuck it is you feel won’t solve anything. Bring a loving child into this world, not another murderer.

Obviously you’ve no idea what it’s like being impregnated by a rapist.

Please stop judging people and pretending to know whats best for them on the internet.

It’s really fucking rude.

“I’m sorry, but killing anything because your sad or angry, or whatever the fuck it is you feel won’t solve anything.”

I have spent over a year and a half working in a breast cancer cell laboratory. We killed cells almost every day. Cells are alive. They need to be fed, they need space to live, they excrete waste. Yet, we kill them so that we can find treatments for breast cancer. (And by the way, cancer is a collection of cells that are growing out of control and leaving the area where they are supposed to be to travel to other areas of the body and grow there, too. So if you get chemotherapy to kill a tumor, or you get a tumor removed, YOU ARE KILLING MILLIONS OF CELLS.) You kill cells every time you brush your teeth, every time you dry your hands, every time you wash your face. YOU ARE A MURDERER, according to the logic that if something is alive, it has equal rights to all other live things, and deserves to stay alive just like all other live things. Not to mention that we’re only discuss the animal domain here, we haven’t even started talking about plants and fungi that are also alive…

Newsflash: Embryos and fetuses are not people. If you are the one carrying the fetus and you want to carry it to term and give birth to it, then it may acquire the status of person in your mind, and you have hopes and dreams for it, and look forward to the day when you’ll hold it in your arms. And that is fine. But the fetus is not, and has never been a person. The fetus does not have hopes and dreams for itself. Stop conflating yourself with a bunch of cells that isn’t a person, and taking away the rights of very real, alive, people in the process.

You’re not fucking sorry at all. AT ALL.

How the fuck can you be a “pro-choice activist of sorts” when you spout bullshit like this about rape victims who choose to abort? Get fucked.

All of this.
