While watching Nanette by Hannah Gadsby
Expectation: funny, will get a few laughs in while I eat breakfast, and go through my various forms of social media
Reality: funny, got punched in the face with the facts of misogyny, homophobia, and false retelling of art history, the toxicity of stand-up comedy, had to sit and do nothing for like an hour after it was over to process what I had just watched.
It’s important.
