Stop because some people make me laugh. There's this author on tiktok who read a book that basically says I don't think Shakespeare actually wrote his plays and poems I think a woman who had no title did who could not publish so she used Shakespeares name.
OH MY GOD PEOPLEEE.
She then proceeded to write a book inspired by the aforementioned book again saying that Shakespeare is a woman.

When you are a kid you have your own language, and unlike French or Spanish or whatever you start learning in fourth grade, this one you're born with, and eventually lose. Everyone under the age of seven is fluent in 'ifspeak'; go hang around with someone under three feet tall and you'll see. What if a giant funnelweb spider crawled out of that hole over your head and bit you on the neck? What if the only antidote for venom was locked up in a vault on the top of a mountain? What if you lived through the bite, but could only move your eyelids and blink the alphabet? It doesn't really matter how far you go; the point is that it's a world of possibility. Kids think with their brains cracked wide open; becoming an adult, I've decided, is only a slow sewing shut.
