A Newfeed Game

The world appears to be exploding or perhaps imploding in response to today's Supreme Court decision.  And while I acknowledge the importance of the decision, I still (naively) go the Facebook to see cat memes and stalk "friends' " baby updates.  So, here's today's game:


  1. Go to your newsfeed.  
  2. Find the first three posts that have NOTHING to do with gay marriage, SCOTUS, religious freedom, or equality.  
  3. Share in the comments.

In all seriousness, our society urgently needs a real conversation around this topic.  However, the internet is, more often than not, an unproductive forum, because emotions run so high in this conversation and it is so hard to show your interlocutor real and convincing charity.  Our love gets pixelated -- which is why I avoid blogging on this topic.

Except of course that today I have a fun game.


My answers:

  1. A photo from a meeting on refugees.
  2. A shout-out to my parents on their 33rd anniversary.
  3. Baby pictures that include a newly adopted, adorably squishy newborn.
