I've been wanting to comment on the weirdness of experiencing all the usual holiday frivolity during these very abnormal times. Just the other day, news broke of greenhouse gas emissions accelerating like a "speeding freight train" at practically the same moment Trump announced a plan to open up nine million acres of land to oil exploration. And in a chilling display of authoritarianism, the Republican legislature in Wisconsin voted in the dead of night to strip away power from the newly-elected Democratic governor. Meanwhile, bells continue to jingle and car antlers continue to sprout. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. It’s just a juxtaposition I find interesting.
