✅ my country right or left
✅ the lion and the unicorn (1/2)
goddamn i just easily fall in love with how orwell writes; not unnecessarily inaccessible with big words but rather of simplistic words that are amplified with the occasional terms. although he commentates of UK, being in 2026, when he wrote what he did in 1940/41, he would be rolling in his grave if he saw the modern world.

Politics & the English Language - bro literally calls out the letterboxd people for using big words in their review (i loved it, while also felt attacked)
Some Thoughts on the Common Toad - the range Orwell has amazes me; he is known for his political commentary but here? he admires spring and talks about his love of nature.
Shooting an Elephant / A Hanging - morbid stuff about his time serving in Burma.

✅ The Lion and the Unicorn - in short, fascism bad. but in broader context, this should be read as um, a certain country's leader is actively carrying out acts of a fascist country.
✅ The Ruin of Germany - about the fallout after the Nazi's fall; how they have to start from scratch.

✅ Why I Write
✅ Decline of the English Murder
✅ Books vs. Cigarettes (valid)
needed to pick something that's easily carried outside because as captivating as Crime & Punishment is, the size is much bigger than the usual Penguin black Classics; Collins Classics are the perfect one. as for the 3 essays? it's very chill so far, i love it. also, b vs c is our current argument but against games of screen times lmao
