A brief rant 🧵 about Chinese written in ballpoint pen and how Chinese language learning sources are 100% failing me in terms of equipping me to read it

Christine took one look and was like "this must be how hiragana was invented" I had a slightly different take. I'm learning Chinese. And every language learning source is less useful than it could be because it fails to equip me to read Hanzi written in ballpoint pen??! [contains quote post or other embedded content]
