The most effective editing move is still the one I stole from George Saunders: read your draft over and over and over again, out loud, until you have to fix the bad parts because you will literally die if you have to read them more time

I’m working as hard as I possibly can to make it here. 🙋🏻‍♀️
we need professors that are not naturals at academic writing
we need professors who didn’t have perfect grades
we need professors that went to community college
we need professors that went to non-selective institutions
we need professors that have always struggled to belong

Every single school should have a library & a librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers, and give them all the lifelong benefits of literacy. Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER!

There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life,nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”

I drove there to find out. 🛻

And the lessons I learned go way beyond the enormous value of public schools in rural communities.
