Evidence (2021-08-30): "In the meantime, I tell this kid, 'We do have a flag in the class that you can pledge your allegiance to.' And he like looks around and goes, 'Oh, that one?'" she said, pointing to the rainbow Pride flag and laughing. [...] Some people said that their issue was less with the presence of a Pride flag in the classroom, and more with Pitzen's remarks about the American flag, which they found disrespectful given news last week that 13 U.S. service members were killed in a terrorist attack at the Kabul airport in Afghanistan. [...] Many of Pitzen's critics took issue with her removing the American flag from her classroom, but others also argued that she shouldn't be forcing her personal beliefs about LGBTQ people on students.

Evidence (2023-12-01): The conflict began in October 2022 when Feldman visited Slavens School, where his twin children were second grade students. He noticed dozens of Progress Pride flags displayed in classrooms and hallways, according to the suit. [...] Feldman told his children's teachers the flags were "not inclusive of all Slavens School students and only represent one viewpoint on the topic of sex," the suit claims. He asked if he could place an identically-sized flag representing his children's views on the same topic alongside the existing flags and allegedly offered an example of a "straight pride flag." [...] He also emphasized that Feldman has never asked the school to remove the pride flags and is "in no way attacking the LGBTQ community."

Evidence (2023-01-07): There was a display in the hallway featuring several "pride flags" and made-up labels, including "gender fluid", "transgender", "non-binary", "pansexual", "polysexual", "demiboy", "demigirl", "gender queer", and others. In year seven, I attended a debating competition hosted at our school and we were asked to state our name and preferred pronouns before we could say anything, and we had a display in the library featuring the trans propaganda book Beyond Magenta, which is extremely inappropriate and contains sexually explicit content. This book was in the library where 11-year-olds could read it, no questions asked, no age restriction. Thankfully, my mum and I wrote into school and had the explicit book display and pride flags removed.

Claim: purports to show a mom remove an LGBTQ+ pride flag from a classroom (Video, 2023-09-17)
Evidence (2023-04-12): The school’s principal was ordered to remove the flags last month at the direction of administrators over Alpine School District — the largest school district in Utah — hoping to avoid becoming the focus of the latest cultural firestorm surrounding teachers. Recent outcry from conservative parents across the state and the country have labeled educators who support the LGBTQ+ community with rainbow flags as "groomers" and "pedophiles," suggesting the symbols are sexual and don’t belong in schools. [...] As soon as the parent pointed out the pride flag, the picture was removed. It was reposted by the school shortly later, cropped to remove the flag. It was deleted again when more parents commented that it still showed nine smaller pride flags — representing identities and intersections within the LGBTQ+ community — sitting in a neat line above the day’s lesson plan. Cutting those out wouldn’t be possible without also cropping the teacher and student. The photo wasn’t reposted. [...] But Brown said she and other students weren’t satisfied. Even the pride flags that had been in the classroom of the teacher who led the school’s gay-straight alliance club were removed. Some questioned how those weren’t considered educational, as they were directly related to a school-approved group, which 40 to 50 kids at Skyridge participate in.

Evidence (2013-09-12): The sheer volume of work that many authors produced on single machines is staggering. Ernest Hemingway, who often typed standing up, used only a few typewriters throughout his entire career. Brilliant in its simplicity, the typewriter was itself an inspiration to many, an open portal through which to channel inspiration. It’s easy to imagine that over extended periods of intense concentration, the user and machine began to share certain qualities, much like an owner and pet starting to show a resemblance. Or maybe writers chose the typewriters they did because of a connection they felt at the outset, an intuitive nod to the grueling and rewarding partnership they were entering into. As Hemingway put it, "There is nothing to writing.

Evidence (2021-05-25): But where Hemingway surely has been influential is in what serious, artistically ambitious writers have learned from close attention to his work. The Hemingway who wrote the stories "Indian Camp," "The Killers," "Big Two-Hearted River" and "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place," and the books "The Sun Also Rises," "A Farewell to Arms" and "A Moveable Feast," was a superb writer, subtle and profound and courageous. Anyone who aspires to fine narrative storytelling, be it fictional or factual, has much to learn from the complicated gentleman from Oak Park. [...] Hemingway’s best prose exemplifies what I preached. In "A Moveable Feast" he wrote, "All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know." This passage has been mocked as pretentious by people who miss the point. To write the truest sentence that you know requires you, the writer, to be rigorous with yourself about facing what you actually do know, what makes you believe it to be true, and the limits of what you know versus what you merely suppose. It takes no small discipline to write only true sentences — to be true to yourself and to your story.

Evidence (2024-07-23): Ernest M. Hemingway "The writer's job is to tell the truth," Ernest Hemingway once said. When he was having difficulty writing he reminded himself of this, as he explained in his memoirs, A Moveable Feast. "I would stand and look out over the roofs of Paris and think, 'Do not worry. You have always written before and you will write now. All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know.' So finally I would write one true sentence, and then go on from there. It was easy then because there was always one true sentence that I knew or had seen or had heard someone say."

Evidence (2023-12-05): Yet, with the addition of existential theory, we see that the act of writing also involves a universal aspect – an endeavor to create meaning not just for oneself, but for others as well. The act of bleeding onto the page becomes a shared experience, as readers connect with the writer's vulnerability and find solace or inspiration in their words.In this light, Hemingway's quote takes on a deeper significance. It serves as a reminder that writing is not solely about the author's catharsis or self-expression; it is also a potent form of communication that can transcend boundaries of time, place, and culture. When a writer 'bleeds' through their words, they invite readers to share in their experiences and emotions, creating a profound sense of connection and understanding.In conclusion, Ernest Hemingway's quote, 'There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed,' carries a multifaceted meaning. It initially captures the personal and raw nature of writing, emphasizing the vulnerability and honesty required to create meaningful work.

Evidence (2009-10-31): Hemingway was always conflicted about matters literary. On the one hand, his contrived "author-as-action hero" persona hampered extended discussions of literary theory. After all, why would a naturally-gifted author ever pay attention to such effete concerns? So Hemingway often maintained that authentic writing meant translating emotional experience onto the page: "There is nothing to writing. Yet Hemingway cared deeply about his literary reputation (see, for example, his dismissal of rivals F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ford Maddox Ford and his aggrandizing self-portrait in A Moveable Feast) and recognized that he had to advance some "theory of writing" to engage and satisfy his academic critics. In many ways he shared the attitude of the Beatles’ John Lennon, who mocked music critics for writing "intellectual bullshit" about his songs but acknowledged such interpretations served to establish the group’s mythology ("Still, I know it helps to have bullshit written about you.") There’s an air of contrivance about "Hills Like White Elephants"—as if Hemingway had one eye on the critics when he sat down at the typewriter. His choice of topic for the story—a young couple arguing over whether the woman should have an abortion—had significant shock value in the late 1920s when abortion was universally illegal and a taboo subject. And shocking the respectable ("épater la bourgeoisie") had been a strategy for establishing artistic credibility since Baudelaire and Rimbaud, one Hemingway clearly wasn’t above employing.

One in the rotation shares this piece of writing wisdom: "There is nothing to writing. The attribution of this little gem to Hemingway has been debated for years. [...] The line about bleeding and writing is sometimes attributed to Smith although, like many quotations of this ilk, its origins are truly obscure. Walter Winchell, himself no mean journalist, wrote this in 1949: "Red Smith was asked if turning out a daily column wasn’t quite a chore. "Why, no," dead-panned Smith. "You simply sit down at the typewriter, open your veins, and bleed." Yet there is evidence that Paul Gallico, another sportswriter, used much the same language in 1946. [...] The author of the piece and operator of the website, Garson O’Toole does a commendable, footnoted job of tracing the notion of writing and bleeding in literary culture, stretching from mid-nineteenth-century sources through Smith, Gallico, and into the late twentieth century.

Sift through the dirt and sand. Chip away at the stone and clay. Find the treasure waiting beneath. Keep writing until you find what resonates with you and with your readers. Keep writing until you find your voice.

Evidence (2012-10-20): I am reminded of Ernest Hemingway’s beautifully daunting words every time I begin writing essays for my English classes. The truth is that it is simply hard for me to sit and pour out everything inside of myself onto a blank page. Sometimes, my jumbled, even occasionally uniquely insightful thoughts cannot seem to escape my head long enough to become coherent, powerful sentences. This is the case especially when I’m writing about Chaucer…or Spenser…or Wordsworth. And isn’t that the goal-besides trying to get a good grade for a class-to actually write something new, profound, and fully worthy of being read. I am left with the question of how do I write? How do I sit down at a computer and "bleed"? [...] The structure of how I write may be because of the western standard that I have grown up with. I am not positive if yet, or ever, I will be able to "bleed" onto a page as Ernest Hemingway notes. However, with clarity and certainty, I believe and hope as Jack Kerouac does that, "One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple."

"Why, no," he was quoted as saying in 1949. "You simply sit down at the typewriter, open your veins, and bleed."

Evidence (2021-01-21): Ernest Hemingway was not my favorite author, in fact, I haven’t read most of what he’s written, but despite my own knowledge of his work, he was a successful author. And he was a serious writer. Hemingway had several interests – fishing, hunting, boxing, cats and perhaps you could add women. But he had no doubt that his priority was writing. [...] Hemingway knew about writing. He was passionate about and committed to his work. He got up at the same time every day, went to his office and wrote until noon. He did not worry about how many words he wrote, just that they were good words. And he had certain techniques and beliefs about writing that can also be adapted by any writer. I’d like to share with you some of his quotes about writing, some you may relate to as well.

Evidence (2021-02-20): Although Hemingway’s achievement is certainly enviable, the desire to equal his literary greatness turns out to be a Faustian bargain: his genius could only be attained through a life of suffering. On more than one occasion he was asked to author a book on his approach to writing. Not surprisingly, he never agreed to write it."There is nothing to writing," he said."All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed." Hemingway understood that good writing was not the product of a masterful technique. Instead, good writing is the expression of meaningful experiences. For Hemingway, these were experiences of pain expressed in the blunt language of reality. The cost of achieving such glory was the subjection of his soul to a lifetime of torture. Had his life been happy, his great writings would have never even been imagined. [...] So to my friend I must apologize: I should have told you the importance of not being Ernest. Whenever you have the choice, you ought to opt for happiness. A life nailed to Hemingway’s cross of self-loathing – however legendary – will simply bleed out.
