Jami Nato: Will You Be a Flamethrower or a Fire Extinguisher in the Dumpster Fire of Internet Comments?

"I miss not being anxious about relational stress.

I scrolled through nasty comments and messages about our neighborhood, our race, our demographic, all the unimportant and untrue things being assumed as fact on a post that was meant to stir up kindness, I realized I had to decide how I wanted to treat this dumpster fire.
 
 I could defend myself and add fuel to the blaze. Or I could take a beat and let my pause extinguish the flames."
