No kidding, I could easily do just that most days- just build up something from the comments. I think that would be a pretty fun Substack for someone besides me to run, although I'm pretty sure I could do it too (but I'd have to stop what I'm doing now, so no thanks).

You might really enjoy doing like a quick Latin course on DuoLingo or something similar. I might have spent 5 or 10 minutes a day for about a year, but it made a huge difference for me.
