There is one thing that means a lot to me. One thing that is a sanctuary from the real world.
Right now, the world we live in is crazy. It’s chaotic.
The president loves to type away on Twitter, encouraging behavior he shouldn’t. Parts of the country doesn’t feel it has all the rights—the equality—it should that the rest has.
There is such a division right now that has only gotten worse cuz guess what?
2020 happens to be a fucking election year.
The closer we get to the election night, the more people seem to lose their common sense.
Anyone see the news article of Trump supporters surrounding a Biden bus?
Who in their right mind does that to another human being?!
Oh, yeah. Trump was delighted. He said “I love Texas!”
While on the hunt to fact check another article yesterday, I came across this fabulous announcement:
*banging head against the wall as we speak*
Our White House is literally a hot zone in itself. And now the dude wants to invite [400] people inside to celebrate something he assumes he has already won. While possibly infecting so many more people.
“We’ll test at the door.”
A: People don’t always show symptoms right away.
B: Again, YOUR WHITE HOUSE is a HOT ZONE. You yourself was infected and you can still pass this virus on!
C: Some of the guests you are inviting don’t have to be showing certain symptoms like fever to be carrying the virus.
All you’re going to do is further infect people and turn that building more into a hot zone.
But hey, what does he care? It’s all just a show to him, right?
Writing is a sanctuary. As such, the groups on Facebook have a rule: no political posts, spam, etc.
I’m all for bringing attention to certain events going on in the world. But don’t invade groups like this and yelling “Writers are getting killed!” Etc.
But turn it into something political and I am downright pissed off.
I log on to find this lovely post in the writing group.
[nothing writing related]
I don’t give a shit whose side you are pushing.
Don’t you fucking dare bring this shit into a writing sanctuary.
We go there to escape all this messed up, chaotic bullshit. Lies from the government. Shit they should be doing but aren’t. Panic they’re ignoring it are encouraging.
Post was reported many times within the first hour. Ironically, it wasn’t taken down.
I said my piece and left. That’s one thing I won’t stand for.
Leave your political opinion out of the writing groups.
