why putting my mask on first feels backward

Anyone else feel so aghast the first time they traveled with a baby and heard the flight attendant say to put your oxygen mask on first?

Feels viscerally wrong for my Egyptian collectivist cultural upbringing.

Which is sort of a metaphor for how to survive in late-stage capitalism.

What I’m saying is: what if we put our oxygen masks on together?

Wrote an essay about it all today over on Substack if you want to check it out.
