I Didn’t Post About Your Cause

It's not that I don't care. It's that social media isn't where I usually go to show care.

I didn’t post about your cause because
I’m not an expert on the issue
and I didn’t have something novel or useful to say.

I didn’t post about your cause because
the world is already too divided
and I want to be a force for unity.

I didn’t post about your cause because
I decided that today
we could all use a break from depressing news.

I didn’t post about your cause because
it would quickly turn my feed
into an endless drip of outrage.

I didn’t post about your cause because
I’m not an activist
and empty words are usually just slacktivism.

I didn’t post about your cause because
I don’t want to be a victim of audience capture
where my content is dictated by a loud minority.

I didn’t post about your cause because
your cause is not my cause.

I didn’t post about your cause because
I don’t take requests
I’m not a DJ.

It’s my platform and I’ll post if I want to.
I didn’t post about your cause.
Because.
