I haven’t been writing about the Shitshow because it is all so sad and frustrating and infuriating and surreal. And yet not surprising. Those of us who were paying attention knew it would be like this, but enough people wanted it, or didn’t know they didn’t want it, so here we are.

In my struggle to remain optimistic I tell myself that the American people are too proud to put up with this bullshit for long. I’m not 100% sure I believe it, but it’s the only hope we have.

Anyway… this morning I read an excellent piece by A.R. Moxon called The Unmovable Sink. It helped me and it might help you. Moxon is a bit given to overbroad generalizations, and does go on; but he’s not Wrong, and his central metaphor is a useful one. If you have a few minutes, I say give it a shot.
