Reflections #12: What to watch after Industry?
And other questions that came through my inbox, answered.
Is anyone having trouble reconciling what feels like the eve of WWIII with their day-to-day life or is it just me? I had dreams of visiting Lebanon in the next year or two, finally seeing where my father’s side of the family is from, consuming any Lebanese food I can get my hands on, going on wine tours in the Bekaa Valley. Instead, I have to watch it get bombarded, invaded, pillaged, in never-ending wars that are serving political and, surely, economic interests. It all just feels sick.
There’s a real dissonance between writing my little television articles and watching constant destruction and death around the globe in the periphery of everything I do. But I’m trying my best to claw my way back to myself, to focus on my community, to draw attention to mutual aid. I’m at a loss at what else I can do. I have to admit: I want to bury my head in the sand, I want to not think about it, but it’s impossible. I don’t even know what else there is to say!
So anyway, with that in mind, I asked for questions from Instagram to help guide this week’s newsletter, so let’s get into it.
What can I watch now that Industry is over?
