Wow. I’m a little tipsy but a lotta shit has went down
First, I made a post in the largest hiking FB group I am in for my state which has like 200k+ members relating the RFK story and the pic
And of course it blew the F up like no other fb post I’ve ever made did. I have never before seem scrolling numbers of likes/reactions in real time
45 likes
250 likes
399 likes
650 likes
…all in the span of like, 10 minutes. When I first posted it the reaction counter was continuing to spin like a goddamn slot machine. I think the last I checked it was at 2.1k likes
And the comments were a shitstorm like any political topic. “You should have just left him to die”. “That would have ruined my hike seeing HIM”. And of course a lot of positive comments and a lot of comments like “wtf, the original post wasn’t political can you all just relax?” Which I appreciated
Then some news reporter lady was like we want to interview you, can you tonight? Well I was already committed to going to a dinner networking party that my rich gay friend was putting on, so I figured I’ll get some potion of courage (alcohol) in me and slam dunk this interview tonight after that
So then I go have dinner and wine (not a wine person so I was doing vodka and juice) with these doctors, NP’s, and lawyers, one of which who had already seen my post. I was like “oh, no way”
So I got to tell them how things really are in the freaking trenches in the city working behavioral health which I think was a perspective they hadn’t seen. A lot of it was relating incidents I posted about here
And even though I was good and drunk and ready I guess the journalist gal got back to me via PM and said they are going to coordinate with the crew for a video interview tomorrow or something
Crazy day
