Entry # 6

I am still getting the hang of this blog stuff.  I would like to be able to use this medium to have a positive effect on those that I have a public relationship with.  Social  media has done that for many years, with both positive and negative results.   The recent contentious elections have shown a divisiveness in this country that has made the social media into a color war  of sorts.  On some level that is not bad, but given the results of the Trump/Clinton elections, there have been some very emotional outbursts.

Given the multiple marginalized groups that I find myself a part of, I think that both the social media, and the blogging enterprise can be used for good.  I am an overweight, Jewish woman, who struggles with borderline personality disorder amongst other things.  This combo leaves me  open to a lot of discrimination from a whole series of corners.
