[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are people marking themselves safe from the bridge collapse on FB? The media quickly quantified the limited number of victims. It’s the worst kind of attention seeking. [/quote] To be fair, it’s probably easier than answering countless texts from friends/family who know little beyond “key bridge in Baltimore collapses.”[/quote] It happened in the middle of the night during the work week (not weekend), and the people I see doing it are older white women who don’t live anywhere near the bridge and wouldn’t be out that late at night. It’s so weird. [/quote] It’s a gross joke. The “marked safe from X” has been a joke on FB for years. Anyone doing that after this tragedy would be unfriended and cut from my life. [/quote] DP The people I see doing it are older white women who are posting lots of news updates. They aren’t poking fun. They are genuinely concerned. They’re just trying to center themselves in it…and it’s weird. I also think it’s weird to post links to news stories about it when it’s literally the top story on every site and naturally popping up in everyone’s feed.

Enough of this please, folks . I understand that it feels good to virtue signal about "white women", but maybe try asking people why they're marking themselves safe. The FB people I know doing it explained that it was easier than answering all the texts/emails etc asking if they were okay. It is wasn't immediately clear that police had been able to stop traffic.
