Please use empathy and common sense when posting and commenting. We are all in this together, let’s stay kind and civil.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
- If you are having thoughts of suicide, please call a friend, family member, 988 in the US, or find transportation to your closest emergency room (call 911 in the US).

I’m so glad to hear you got thru the VA paperwork. Yay! How did the poetry go?
I bungled it tbh. One of my poems was, though brief, intentionally quite vulgar and inflammatory. I had intended to issue a content warning before reading it, but forgot it in the moment because I didn't write that down. Some members of my audience were quite badly shocked, and that shock was intended to be softened. Most people were pleased with my reading but a few were not and it's because I made a mistake and that upsets me. Next week I have decided to read in the theme "abiding peace" and issue an apology.
Ugh. But it was an accident, certainly they could tell by your demeanor that it wasn’t intentional to cause strife?
Yes, they could tell, but it was shocking nonetheless. A very small amount of care on my part would have prevented an audible gasp from someone who was sensitive to it, which was by no means my intention. Mea culpa, I am remiss.
