"That funny feeling is back – the one many of us felt at the start of the Covid
pandemic, where we had to absorb and accommodate things that once seemed
unimaginable.
That funny feeling that doesn’t have a name is part dread, part horror, part
captivation as you watch through your phone at
whatever this is unfolding.
It’s the sensation of living through a highly dynamic time in history, being
swung about by time’s paw. It’s a hang-on-to-your-hat kind of feeling, where
you don’t quite know how things are going to land.
It’s waking up – sometimes at 3am – to check social media or news websites to
see if nuking another country has been casually threatened on Truth Social.
It’s wondering, “How is it only April?”"
