Love the flight analogy in today’s post. The other one I’ve seen is that it’s like a hurricane that you know is coming, but you don’t know when, how bad it will be, or if the wind or the water will get you.
And you’re right about finding it hard to celebrate the season. Where normally I would say to people this week that I hope they had a happy Thanksgiving, it just felt wrong. While I have moments of laughter at something specific, though it might not be obvious, I’m not really happy about much right now. It’s only when I temporarily forget the sense of impending doom that I appear as my normal happy-go-lucky self.
Today’s line I liked best - “Trump is the Boeing 737 Max of presidents.” Though I’m wondering if that is being too harsh on the 737 Max’s safety record. The analogy today really worked, and I do feel like I’m in the departure lounge for a budget airline flight, and I’ve brought my own food, then there’s been a delay and I’m tired of eating raw almonds.
every single substacker needs a copy editor. shame.
