Writing high fantasy is harder for me than it used to be because I'll write "The door swung open" and I'll imagine some tumblr user with three different grad degrees in medieval history dunking on me with a 2,000-word post about how door hinges weren't invented until 1956 and before that they'd just smash them open with axes and rebuild them each time.

hey don't worry, earliest door hinges discovered from around 1600 BCE okay?

The goal is to harm the poorest among us.

No government department was ever created because someone was doing the right thing.

Dept of Ed empowered girls, students of color, students with disabilities, and funded communities in need.

Fascist Republicans want servants.

DOE makes Republicans feel shame. Of course Republicans hate successful policies.
