Quittance

"Let's delete Facebook from our phones for a week and see if it makes any difference."

This was a great idea. This was one of the greatest ideas J has ever proposed.

I was in rehearsal when the Paris shooting happened a few weeks ago, and J texted me about it.
Have you seen what's going on in Paris?
I logged onto the BBC, saw all the horrible details. I put my phone back in my pocket and sat dumbstruck for a few moments. I pulled my phone back out and opened Facebook.
And then I started hating almost everyone who said anything about the attacks.

I would have been completely happy to never hear another political Facebook opinion again...but now that Donald Trump is sounding increasingly fascist I almost wonder if I ought to be back on just to safeguard rational discourse. 

On the other hand, it's been a really nice break...
