“The blind leading the blind” sums up pretty much the whole advice/inspo influencer economy, though! Where would we be without it, especially during a health crisis??? Of course it isn’t fair to place all the blame on age – people of all ages do this from a place of (at best) naivete. Yesterday a bunch of famous people decided it would cheer us up to watch a collage of them singing from inside their Hollywood mansions. If anything better illustrates the value an idiot assigns themselves from a position of power, well, I don’t think I have the stomach to watch it. What were we talking about? |
Actual wisdom bitches in the wild, mussing hair and dissing youth with compliments. Mar‘s realization that she‘s been punked by the women she cut off the van that morning is a delight.

I think they had to take the bus instead.
So that was 100% future Eve and Jane, right?
You know…I hadn't thought about it then, and I'm still surprised that I hadn't when you suggested it now.
Yeah, I see it!
Everybody has had the experience of becoming older and thinking they've become wiser. More than once…
It's fine to share a little bit of your reflections with other people but realize everyone's on a different journey even if the shape looks familiar.
As this strip shows, the blind are leading the blind at every age–it just gets more literal as the age goes up.
