No, I Won't Post as My Status Update

I deeply care about bullying.  I am troubled with the treatment of veterans  and hoops they go through to access benefits.  Cancer of all forms is cruel and those battling it or who survived are courageous. Pollution, greed, abuse of power and the societal ills give me angst daily. But you won't find these as my status update on Facebook.  I'm fine with being accused of not caring because I didn't post a meme for 24 hours as my status update. If you've been on Facebook, I am sure you've been cajoled to show your passion by copying and sharing as your own status update. I don't need to repeat a canned phrase and guilt trip others to think how I think. Social media is a powerful tool to build awareness and drive people to sites and sources to learn more.  These repeat statements and shaming tones aren't educating or building awareness, to me; they're arm chair activism at best for people that really can't be bothered to enter into tough conversations or act on their convictions.  Maybe the poster does feel strong about the subject.  Then post an original statement with a link to learn more.  Tell me about how it impacts people you know or how you're getting involved. I won't feel shame because some one accused me of not caring because I didn't copy and repost. I know most of you will scroll by this without another thought, but for my real readers...sorry, I just wasted a minute of your Wednesday.
