[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A friend who was hosting a BBQ and fireworks viewing from their house just canceled due a lack of patriotism.

Then I just saw two social media posts about the same. One from a friend who said her family would be attending a protest at X location instead. Another from a friend who announced they were no longer celebrating and would be wearing black on that day instead.

I told my kids our plans got canceled and neither seemed to care. DS said there's nothing to celebrate this year. DD said wearing black is a trend that's going around on tictock along with not buying gas July 2 (or 3rd maybe?) and a women's strike.   [/quote]

Sounds like social media is affecting how one kid feels.

I limit media intake so I’m not as morose as others. I have to earn a living and run a business so can’t dwell in depression and so on. I will donate to women’s health and abortion choice causes.

We could all be morose about so many things—cults that kill people, bodies found in barrels, the many shootings that happen today and didn’t make the news, the teen girls in NOVA being trafficked, Nazi Republicans, people who lost their homes in last night’s storm.

Look for the helpers. Become a helper. [/quote]

Being educated is not morose or depressing.

But go on with yourself not caring about the girls in nVA being trafficked

Social media is not education; it is hysteria.

You have bought into the insanity.  Please seek the professional help you clearly need.[/quote]
