Writing is Hard

(The disintegration is the result of using wood for paper. Before 1830, all paper was made from non-wood fiber, usually recycled rags. In 1830, a process to break down wood into fiber suitable for paper-making started being used, and by 1860, most paper was 100% wood fiber. The problem is that the process necessarily leaves a residue in the separated wood fiber which, when exposed to water, becomes acidic and attacks the wood fibers themselves, eventually making them too short to hold the sheet of paper together. And, of course, there is water in the air in the form of humidity, so all wood paper eventually absorbs enough water to disintegrate. Deacidification means soaking the paper in a basic solution so that as the acid forms it is neutralized. “Archival paper” is simply paper which is manufactured with the basic chemicals built in. This whole problem could easily be sidestepped by reverting to non-wood fiber for paper; high-quality art paper is still made from cotton, and industrial hemp — which isn’t much use as a mind-altering substance but gets associated with it anyway — can be used for paper as well. When William Randolph Hearst began his anti-marijuana propaganda crusade which laid the foundations for all modern anti-drug hysteria, one of his major motivations was his ownership of large amounts of timber land which would be much less valuable if the then-newly-invented decorticator made it cheaper and easier to manufacture hemp paper than to manufacture wood paper.)

I can't find the words to explain it... 😂😂😂

What I do have is a GED and a give-'em-hell attitude, and I'll figure it out.
