I love reading a book you are slightly too stupid for

ways to keep reading despite feeling stupid because the tags you all keep adding have made me realize that my post is being used to self harm:

  • recognize that stupidity is a cultural concept leveraged against stigmatized populations who operate from devalued spheres of intelligence
  • notice feelings of panic and shame and frustration rising in your body when you encounter a difficult text, react to them like a loving friend who thinks you deserve to learn things
  • recognize the conditioning it takes to convince someone they are too stupid to deserve to learn things
  • go back and read a difficult text whose meaning and nuances escaped you the first time around after you read two or three more and the first one has had time to cook in your brain
  • open your brain’s mouth like a whale shark and cruise through the water digesting anything that gets caught in your filter plates
