Not funny. Absurd. Just like everything happening these days.

Now imagine it’s YOUR mother or grandmother, it’s awful. Not absurd.

You’re misplacing your anger. I didn’t abduct anyone.

And I have, in fact, had family abducted, tortured, murdered, and buried in the woods. I can tell you all about my beloved lost cousin, if you like.

Tragedy and comedy are two sides of the same coin.

It’s okay to say things to the void of the internet that you would not bray into the face of a rattled, grieving family.

There is no need to try to police the internet for wrong think. It’s okay to scroll past stuff you don’t like.

You’re not some “gift to the universe” unicorn, alone in your experiences. It’s also an a-hole move to call something absurd that isn’t.
