I really don\u2019t mind that my body is getting me up early. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Give me some quiet time before really starting my day and allows me to sort my thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, I have seen some splendid sunrises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have been thinking and I believe we need to bring shunning back into vogue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shun (verb)- persistently avoid, ignore, or reject (someone or something) through antipathy or caution. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I tend to shun people and things out of caution and for my wellbeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There was a time that I tried to be all inclusive because I knew what it was like to be shut out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When I was a young fan, the science-fiction and fantasy community bent over backwards to include all fen (fans). We had been the other until we found fandom and a group that we were a part of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Now fandom is mainstream and people no longer hide their love of things that were nerd territory back in the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The difficulty with this is that in including all, there were people who were problematic for a variety of reasons including predatory behavior. Until recently there were always excuses as to why these individuals were allowed to remain. They played on everyone\u2019s sympathies and feelings isolation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There were some that went so far over the line that fandom shunned them. They were not allowed into conventions or go to meetings of the various clubs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n With the internet, it is easier for like-minded folks to find each other and create their little worlds which has both positives and negatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We have this new thing of cancel culture which is destroying lives and careers sometimes based on something that they wrote when they were underaged. It is not a good thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I propose that we stop cancelling and start shunning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I am grateful for beautiful sunrises.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I really don\u2019t mind that my body is getting me up early.
