The 33 Project

Morning! Hope you enjoyed that extra hour of sleep this am.

Got some juicy reads for you this weekend.

1/ Happy marathon day! Beautiful piece from A 70 year old runner reflecting on time and aging and his life running marathons.

Concessions, of course, have been made to age.

I get injected every six months with lubricant to cushion my knees. It’s made from rooster combs, giving me an insatiable desire to get up at dawn and wake the whole neighborhood. I’ve also begun wearing impossibly cushioned shoes. I think the brand name is Bouncy Castle. And, too, I wear compression socks to the knees, giving the vague impression of an aging waiter at Oktoberfest.

2/ On trauma, art, memorializing and State propaganda. Interesting long read from Naomi Klein on Israel.
