Um… it’s random silly grins, not a political thread. I think we can let this slide… it’s a nice display, even if we’re all a little tense over what’s happening in the world right now.
That empty gesture triggered me I guess
Sure, I can certainly understand that… but context matters here. I don’t think @SallyM meant it as a “let’s ignore the shitshow around us and just hope things will be fine” post… I don’t see any reason to attack a poster who generally doesn’t post political stuff at all.
I should’ve just kept my mouth shut/fingers away from my phone, but my comment was directed not at the poster but whoever put up the display in the window. Maybe I should just delete the whole thing
Up to you, of course. I understand feeling upset at the sentiment, but again, this is the random silly grins thread, one of the ones that we use to post things we find cute or silly.
Maybe you could clarify that you were upset at the idea and were not aiming it at the poster, because it kind of came off as an attack on the poster. I’m sure that wasn’t your intent…
It was not. SallyM I apologize, my outburst was not directed at you.
I’ll leave all this here as a lesson. Don’t do what Donny Don’t does!
I slink away now
I could definitely be wrong, since it’s hard to see, but my impression was that it was possibly a reference to killing the goose that laid the golden egg, with the question being satirical?
But… back to silly?
@1000YearBan I stumbled upon this and thought it was interesting.l so I snapped a random photo.
I looked up some more information on the context.
It is from a theater project.
https://rorschachtheatre.com/vox-populi/
Two teenagers fall through time after a shared moment in the woods. Trying to find their way home, they land at different Washington DC protests throughout history – each time encountering the city they thought they knew through the eyes of those who sought to change it.
Psychogeographies projects harness the power of both the built and natural world to create a visceral piece of immersive storytelling. Each month participants receive a map and instructions to travel to a new curated location in the DC area. Along with the map, they’ll receive a box of artifacts to engage all five senses while exploring each site with story elements such as letters, music, souvenirs, or photos. From March through August, each monthly box reveals a new location and a new chapter in the ongoing story.
We’re all under a lot of stress right now, due to obvious and not-so-obvious reasons. Please, try to extend a little grace to each other where we can.
Wow that sounds really cool!
Also
and I’m sorry!
I… have nothing to say about this.
