#WritersCoffeeClub 10/15 Should writers be honest about their politics online?
Once, in 2020, someone unfollowed me because I didn't post about going to a BLM protest. I hadn't gone to a protest because I was pregnant (hadn't posted about it) and didn't want to take any risks.
The worst part of social media is finding out how many people are TERFs/antisemites/Islamophobes/misogynists/etc. I can't say if I'd rather know. But I don't think everyone needs to make a statement about everything.
