Quote from elsewhere

“I can't watch anyone roll around in their privilege like cats in catnip any more. Maybe some day. Not now.”

It wasn’t the most politic thing to say at the time, but I think there’s a lot to unpack there if I spend a little time thinking on it.

It's a beautiful phrase.

Thanks! It’s very evocative for me, but then, I’ve owned cats all my life and am familiar with just how they act with catnip. The phrase might have little or no meaning to non-cat-people.
