kicking over rocks

phew. and by that, i mean i'm lying here in the middle of the night trying hard to regulate my breathing, calm down, and convince myself that disabling comments and giving people some time will speed up the process of my faux pas blowing over.

i should have known that the south african #imstaying group would not have been particularly receptive to the idea of not identifying south africanness with eating meat, and my post saw people very quickly turning from purely positive to vicious.

i wish i'd thought of disabling the comments much earlier. or that i'd never posted in the first place.
