Following a link that I expected to be about differing points of view, I found a series of posts and memes so extreme that I succumbed to, not quite full on PTSD but hypervigilance and nausea, unable to keep images of violence out of my head. A page of threats, not even to me, but the kind of thing that made me want to carry a gun. I had been warned it was 'a bit crazy,' but, because I am an idiot, underestimated what lay before me. People are horrible.
And here I am feeling sick. A walk in the rain and good company will help, but I wish I didn't feel like throwing up so much.
So I don't work, and I play with genomes and history, and dabble with FB and wait for it to pass. But I have been in this space since yesterday, and the experience is extreme.
