I’d love to stop doomscrolling every single day. Focus on my books, on my work.

The proposed Medicaid cuts (and so many other things) have me in such a spiral. That’s what pays for our disabled kiddo’s services at school.

Congress is gearing up to cut hundreds of billions in funding for Medicaid. It’s happening right under our noses, and our rights depend on our ability to stop it.

and i don’t just mean obscure or archaic vocabulary. it’s fun to learn all the different ways a sentence can work! it’s fun to absorb centuries-old cultural references that otherwise haven’t survived!
idk man the ‘difficult’ language in ‘difficult’ books is part of the point. don’t you WANT to learn to parse out interesting language and complex ideas? it’s all i wanted when i was a kid! i was so impatient for it!
