I’m sorry bunnyfungo. It’s hard to feel so connected to some place but unable to help.

University of Michigan just put out a run-hide-fight alert. Jesus, I hope this is just a false alarm. Replies say active shooter. It’s not going to stop False alarm. Popping balloons.

PDQ, but that alert at my alma mater reeaaallly hit me in the feelings. I felt invincible there and safe (other than normal don’t be a dummy and get drunk in a frat house stuff). Maybe it’s the wine but I’m feeling some feelings and really not happy about it.

We were at a local street fair last fall and the balloon animal maker kept popping balloons. The first few times the whole crowd nearly panicked cuz it was a bunch in a row.
Tonight before reading this we were at a Girl Scout event a few balloons popped and it’s all I think of. It’s terrible.

I've spent a huge amount of time over the last 2 days reporting accounts on Twitter that are basically wall to wall racism and thinly veiled calls to violence against Muslims. So far, 3 tweets have been deleted. No accounts have been taken down. At least one blatant call to murder Muslims on a reviewed account is still up. What the ever-loving fuck. You are doing the difficult work. I get so frustrated by twitter. Half the time when I report an account I don’t even get a response. It’s hard because these tools are so powerful and I really get a lot of good info from them but they don’t not give a fuck what content is on their sites. It’s all about $ and clicks. Really hard to be part of it.

I saw a Tweet yesterday that basically said how they have really been able to contain ISIS propaganda on social media, so there is zero reason all the white nationalism bullshit isn't being taken down.

Really hard to be part of it. I try to do this with FB and IG, too, to no avail. Usually FB responds that I can just block the person and their speech doesn’t go against their T&Cs. IG does nothing, even when it’s someone/ a bot just promoting hatred and has zero posts/ followers. It’s infuriating.

This makes me insanely ragey.
