Argh I think I’m gonna stop posting political stuff on here because I really feel like it’s hurting me and my friendships more than it’s helping anything. I think I get too emotionally involved sometimes, and I say things I shouldn’t, and the only effect I get from it is that I lose friendships.
So I […]
