I had a similar issue, made worse by the fact that I was left handed and writing from left to right. So aside from smudges, I’d visually cover what I had just written. Plenty of opportunities to lose train of thought or misread something

It seems that suppression is the only choice in this prisoner’s dilemma of right vs left media right now. Now I don’t like censorship. Chinese media censored the COVID-19 outbreak in the beginning, which cost lives. Right wing media in the
