   Protip: Not every discussion on the Internet needs to be a springboard for amateur comedy freestyling, especially if the original poster is talking about something important to them. Likewise, not every post needs to inevitably turn into a platform for comments about Trump. I get it, I know it's mostly well-intentioned, but boy howdy does it make sharing my work a grind, and I need to make some decisions about whether I'm going to keep posting or just start blocking people

     I genuinely love a lot of people here. But I also haven't been posting much because of these two factors. In the few posts I did make, I mentioned dealing with grief over my mother's passing and someone thought that would be a good thing to make a meme about. Someone called the SS United States - which I actually care quite a bit about - a piece of garbage. Everything circles back to a Trump riff whether it has anything to do with him or not.

     I'm tired folks. Make it stop.

     I'm so sorry, Matthew.
     May your bother's memory be a blessing.
